Description
This poetry collection presents representative examples of Eugen Gomringer’s ideograms and constellations, which helped establish concrete poetry as an international poetic movement in the 1950s. The Swiss poet, art critic and essayist Eugen Gomringer (1925–2025) is regarded as a European founder of concrete poetry and influenced generations of intermedia artists and writers through his concrete and visual poems, theoretical writing and editorial work. Alongside his best-known poems in the original language and Czech versions, the collection includes the complete text of his extensive work The Book of Hours. The concrete poems are complemented by an essay explaining the historical and artistic-literary context of Gomringer’s work.
