| Abstract (about 50 words): | This paper aims at presenting the idea of Norwegian concrete poetry as it is reflected in Jan Erik Vold’s literary work. In this sense, I make reference to three concrete volumes of poetry, namely: mellom speil og speil (Between Mirror and Mirror, 1965), blikket (The Gaze,1966) and kykelipi (1969). With respect to the concept of concretism, it is important to note that when dealing with Jan Erik Vold’s concrete poetry, his poems can be classified as follows: grammatical poems, ready-mades and nursery rhymes. Thus, through these categories attributed to concrete poetry, the Norwegian poet gives a note of novelty to the whole concept of concretism, and a variety of meanings attributed to this concept. |
