Scope and Contents

Tiziano Santi contributed an essay "Between Word and Image" which traces the history of visual and concrete poetry through Dada, Futurism, calligrams, Cubism, Fluxus happenings and the contemporary Italian poets. Manfredo Massironi's essay describes the beginnings of classical calligraphy in Europe and the Middle East. This book also served as a caalogue for the Belle Lettre Award winners. The works were grouped into the following categories: traditional calligraphy, expressive calligraphy, words and images, words and abstract for, the word as image, and conceptual works. There are several reproductions of pages by Brody Neuenschwander for "The Pillow Book" by Peter Greenaway. Brody Neuenschwander was awarded the first prize Belle Lettere Award for "the Book of Silence;" Canto Five of Dante's Inferno by Ingmire is described in a separate chapter. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
