“Message Clear”, by Edwin Morgan. A concrete poem where the lines are created by taking the phrase “i am the resurrection and the life” and, by selectively deleting letters from each line, building up the following text: am i if i am he hero hurt there and here and here and there i am rife in sion and i die a mere sect a mere section of the life of men sure the die is set and i am the surd at rest o life i am here i act i run i meet i tie i stand i am thoth i am ra i am the sun i am the son i am the erect one if i am rent i am safe i am sent i heed i test i read a thread a stone a tread a throne i resurrect a life i am in life i am resurrection i am the resurrection and i am i am the resurrection and the life

“This poem was written when my father was very ill, dying of cancer, & I was coming home from the hospital. Suddenly this line ‘I am the resurrection & the life’ came into my head & then the poem began to emerge from the line.”

Concrete poetry depends on the poem's shape on the page for some of its meaning. I remember doing these as kids, yes, but now . . . ?

A stepped diamond shape in pale parchment color with black and red lines arranged seemingly as a text that's not-quite-readable in rows across it floats in an azure sky anchored to a slate gray floor.

Executed in colors keyed to Silk Road pigments Tyrian purple, saffron, vermilion, and ultramarine, this colorful print uses the IgnoBlox font family to create a geometric pattern that may recall the early morning sky over travelers' tents or caravanserai. Or maybe it's just words in an abstract typeface conditioned by the sequential logic of language and the whims of an artist designing an unreadable text.

Black-and-white photo of three construction workers standing on a platform between concrete pillars, under a large articulated crane arm. The image has visible grain and vignette, emphasizing structure and mood.

Three construction workers stand beneath a sweeping crane arm, framed by rows of concrete pillars. The black-and-white toning adds grain, gravity, and a sense of quiet coordination in the midst of industrial scale.
