An artist, poet, or philosopher who practices or believes in concretism, emphasizing tangible, physical reality over abstraction.
From concretism plus -ist suffix (Greek -istes, 'one who practices or believes in'). The term emerged alongside concrete poetry and concrete art movements of the mid-20th century.
Concrete poets are rebels against traditional writing—they use letters, numbers, and white space as visual art, so a poem about loneliness might have words spread far apart on the page, making you literally feel the distance.
