What Is Concrete Prose?

Concrete poetry or concrete prose is poetry or prose in which the arrangement of the printed words on the page adds to the meaning of the work in a meaningful way. I explain the form and give an overview of contributions from writings like e.e. cummings, Richard Kostelanetz, Mark Danielewski, William H. Gass, Ronald Sukenik, Harlan Ellison, Raymond Federman, and more.
