Collected

This book collects the majority of Charlotte Jung’s minimalist, concrete poems.

The minimalist approach is evident in Jung’s refusal to surrender the poem to a temporal structure, and her acute sense of the word – and indeed language – as visual form, situates her poetry within the realm of the concrete.

A central theme in Jung’s work is writing as a pursuit of freedom, a strive towards emancipation – a motive in the main feminist. Thus, COLLECTED is part of a feminist reclaiming of concrete poetry which has been manifested recently in the publication of anthologies, both historical and contemporary, and in individual books by feminist concrete authors.
