ロサンゼルスを拠点に活動するキュレーターであり美術史家、音楽研究者で作家のナンシー・パーロフ（Nancy Perloff）による作品集。今日におけるコンクリート・ポエトリー（具体詩 / 視覚詩）運動を再定義する一冊。

A significant, personal anthology of concrete poetry by curator Nancy Perloff.

Now available in paperback, Concrete Poetry: A 21st-Century Anthology is the first overview of concrete poetry in many years. Selective yet wide-ranging, this anthology re-evaluates the movement, singling out its most distinctive and influential works, including the little-known Japanese concretists, the Wiener Gruppe, Augusto de Campos, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Eugen Gomringer, Dieter Roth, Henri Chopin, Cia Rinne, Susan Howe and many others. Perloff’s anthology presents individual poems, reproduced in their original languages, together with lively commentaries that explicate and contextualize the work, allowing readers to discover the intricacy of poems that some have dismissed as simple, even trivial, texts.
