This book was based upon proceedings of 17th annual workshop sponored by the Department of German at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Reinhold Grimm wrote a detailed, historical, illustrated essay on emblem, concrete and shaped poetry titled, "Poems and/as Pictures: A Quick Look at Two and a Half Millennia of Ongoing Aesthetic Intercourse." Sixty five examples of such poems are depicted. Grimm provides several shaped poems by different authors from George Herbert to Eugen Gomringer on "meditative wings." A shaped poem by an anonymous author entiltled "Cube" (1710) is printed in German and Yiddish (Figure 29). ee cummings' poem "Grasshopper" (1935) is reprinted (Figure 32). Includes three erotic shaped poems by Reinhold Aman, editor of the magazine, Maledicta (Figures 62-64). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
