That, in itself, seems to fail as a definition for me. The cover's poem has the word "FORSYTHIA" at its base w/ other words growing out of it that begin w/ the same letter that these words originate from. From these words come the beginning letter placed as if they're buds or flowers on a limb of the forsythia plant. It's not a very complicated poem, it's a simple picture poem. I like it just fine but is it really an example of "concentration upon the physical material from which the poem or text is made"? It seems to me that the poem is made from the physical materials of paper, ink, & paint. Maybe the pigment is made from a forsythia plant. I reckon it's possible that the pigment & the paper cd both have plant origins. My point is that Solt seems to be conflating what the words refer to w/ what they are physically.
That aside, I don't really care to nitpick here. It was just something to write. The bk's full of interesting pictures that create calculated relationships between words & images & that's something I totally enjoy. There's even the following Ronald Johnson piece that I'd forgotten about:

I made a window shade once that had that cut out of it. As the window shade went up or down, the eye level went up & down w/ it. ( )
