dom sylvester houédard dom sylvester houédard was a Benedictine monk at Prinknash Abbey, Glouchestershire, UK and a pioneer of British concrete poetry and typewriter-driven typstracts. "During 1945 I realized the typewriter's control of verticals and horizontals, balancing its mechanism for release from its own imposed grid, (and) offered possibilities that suggested (I was in India at the time), the grading of Islamic calligraphy from cursive (naskhi) writing through cufic to the abstract formal arabesque, that 'wise modulation between being and not being'." -- from Cratylus: The English Artist and the Word (London: British Council, 1979)

INTRODUCTION TO UBUWEB: VISUAL POETRY UBUWEB began as an online repository for concrete and visual poetry scanned from aging anthologies and re-imagined as back-lit transmissions from a potential future. As the archive has progressed, the concentration on visual poetry has waned in favour of a reconnoitering of diverse avant-gardes.UBUWEB: VISUAL POETRY exposes little-seen exemplars of historical praxis and models of contemporary insight to a wider audience. This section includes anthologies, ephemeral publications, criticism and sporadic journals dedicated to visual poetry. Due to the elusive and ephemeral nature of concrete and visual poetry publications, there is a perceived lack of innovation in the genre. Without exposure to radical practice, artistic precedent and innovative models, concrete poets too often fall back upon familiar tropes and unchallenging forms. UBUWEB: VISUAL POETRY is not presented under the rubric of historical coverage or indexical completeness, but rather as a document of isolate moments of what Haroldo de Campos argued was a "notion of literature not as craftsmanship but [...] as an industrial process" where the poem is a "prototype" rather than the "typical handiwork of artistic artistry." -- derek beaulieu, curator
