THE BACKGROUND “The term ‘concrete poetry’ denotes both a poetic genre and an international movement. Concrete poetry emerged simultaneously in Germany, in Sweden and in Brazil in the early 1950 s, and then spread to other countries. The Swiss. Bolivian poet Eugen Gomringer and the Brazilian Noigandres poets are considered the founding fathers, who have defined the genre in various essays and manifestos.

EASTER WINGS (UPRIGHT) Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store, Though foolishly he lost the same, Decaying more and more, Till he became Most poor: With thee O let me rise As larks, harmoniously, And sing this day thy victories: Then shall the fall further the flight in me. My tender age in sorrow did begin: And still with sicknesses and shame Thou didst so punish sin, That I became Most thin. With thee Let me combine, And feel this day thy victory: For, if I imp my wing on thine, Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

GEORGE HERBERT’S “ALTAR”
