- Summary
- "The Order of Things presents the work of Scottish concrete and sound poets within a national and international perspective. Concrete poetry has been called the last great episode of Modernism. It was a world-wide movement, born in Switzerland and Brazil in the 1950s, which continued the dynamic experiments of Futurism, Dada and Constructivism in poetry. Contributors include Edwin Morgan, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Tom Leonard."--Publisher's description.
