Scope and Contents
Reprinted from Stereo Headphones No.5, 1972. The authors debunk the assertion of Stuart Mills who in Akros No.18, 1972 stated that the poem-poster was introduced by Ian-Hamilton Finlay. They go on to further describe the pioneers of Concrete Poetry in their opinion. Rebuttals to their conclusions by Stephan Bann and Henri Chopin are also published. Mentions that Ernest Fenellosa, who died in 1908, used the term 'concrete poetry' in an essay, 'The Chinese Character as a Medium for Poetry' in 1901. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
