Marshall McLuhan 'The Medium is the Message'

Marinetti's concrete poetry. I thought that looking into concrete poetry, and how they use language materially, (its placement/arrangement on the page), might be quite interesting if we were to consider text/language as existing in an 'aesthetic limbo' on the white page. Wikipedia says the following on conrete poetry, incase you wanted to look into it further.

Concrete poetry or shape poetry is poetry in which the typographical arrangement of words is as important in conveying the intended effect as the conventional elements of the poem, such as meaning of words, rhythm, rhyme and so on.

It is sometimes referred to as visual poetry, a term that has evolved to have distinct meaning of its own, but which shares the distinction of being poetry in which the visual elements are as important as the text.
