Scope and Contents

These poems from Austrian and German poets are generally stylistically concrete. In the foreword, Grumman acknowledges the financial support of the Sackners. Poems with interesting ideas include Schwarz's cow poem in which the letters are arranged to form the shape of a cow, Daniel's Hebrew letter poems and Warnke's concrete poem, mistake discussion, in which this word is printed in 17 horizontal rows with one incorrect letter that is close to the correct spelling cancelled across a diagonal. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
