[New-Poetry] concrete poetry wanted

[Anny Ballardini]

I sometimes get lost in the same way, who is we and you?

and the permission we need before we can post anything -- then send the poem separately by email to poetry.guide at about.com, either typed in the body of the message, or as an attached MSWord document or jpeg file. (You must alert us to your contribution in advance and give your permission to post it via the submission form, or we will not open your email attachment.)

  Concrete poetry, “shaped” poems, visual poetry (or, as we like to call it, “VisPo”... they are all forms of poetry in which the visual element is part of the poem’s art, the typographical arrangement of letters and words on the page (or as here, on the screen) is as much a part of the poem’s essence as the more traditional poetic techniques like prosody, meter, image, etc. Concrete poetry/VisPo is an important tributary in the modern-day River Po, and over the years we’ve offered a few glassfuls for your delectation. 


  We are still inviting contemporary contributions to this anthology, but remember: Our poem submission form will not transmit the shape of your concrete poem. If you are sending us a shaped poem, please use the submission form to give us your name, your email address, the title of the poem you are sending, a brief description, and the permission we need before we can post anything -- then send the poem separately by email to poetry.guide at about.com, either typed in the body of the message, or as an attached MSWord document or jpeg file. (You must alert us to your contribution in advance and give your permission to post it via the submission form, or we will not open your email attachment.)
