\u201cObjects made of letters\u201d explores and illustrates concrete poetry in its heyday. The experience of a concrete poem is always visual, the meaning \u2013 in the absence of conventional poetic imagery and syntax \u2013 often elusive. The exhibition provides a survey of key publications and illuminating examples, and focuses on the output of three significant figures: Dom Sylvester Hou\u00e9dard, Bob Cobbing and John Furnival.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication and is open by appointment until 28 March 2023.\u00a0 Please contact Emma Minns<\/a> for an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
