I am thrilled to welcome visual poet Charlotte Jung to the international list of poets and artists who are making The New Concrete Poetry blog an increasingly popular location to see the latest work in this exciting genre.

Two goals of mine have intersected in this post: (1) I want to devote more attention to minimalist concrete poetry and (2) I have been very impressed by the minimalist work of Charlotte Jung. Charlotte and I are correspondents. Thanks to her kindness, we can look forward to seeing her exciting innovations. 

The selections here come from Charlotte's chapbook A B C D E published by Trombone in Gothenburg, Sweden, in their Svavel Series (23) (2021).

  "Stoen 254: in this act contained" by Geof Huth  (Newport, North Carolina, USA) (September 2024)  Recent Object Poems by Geof Huth    By De Villo Sloan   In my previous New Concrete interview with visual poet Terri Witek, I provided a context by sharing my observations about what I believe to be the emergence of a new iteration of an age-old poetic practice: Object Poetry. The New Object poem is likely to be three-dimensional and is often composed of randomly found, inexpensive materials.
