† A conversation with illustrations between
ERNST JANDL. MICHAEL WEAVER and GEORGE MACBETH
The international movement known as Concrete Poetry has adherents from Scotland to Brazil, but it is still relatively little understood in England. The recent acclaim for the Austrian poet Ernst Jandl's reading at the Albert Hall underlined the emotional verve of this kind of writing. In this conversation, Mr. Jandl and Michael Weaver elaborate on the theoretical and historical basis of the movement.
