Jhave articulates a concern of "This Ain't Your Daddy's Concpo"
Concrete is a technological substance: a synthetic hard surface, impermeable, roadworthy. The intention of concrete poetry's founders (Eugen Gomringer in Switzerland and simultaneously the Noigandres group in Brazil) was to differentiate and distance *concrete* from the soft, emotional, labial ambiguity of traditional poetry; an inadvertent side effect of the initial intention is that a residual machismo clings to concrete poetry's exposition. —Aesthetic Animism, p. 26
