Emmett Williams and Mary Ellen Solt both have 1970s era anthologies.
I think UbuWeb is a wonderful primer, good essays too (Dick Higgins, his book on Pattern Poetry being hard to get, Roland Greene).
Ian Hamilton Finlay of course.
The Concrete Poetry traditions exemplified respectively by Gomringer and the Noigandres group in Brazil.
Ana Maria Uribe.

Lots of Bohn.
And hey the RUSSIAN Futurists yay!

Hello all,

I'm pretty ignorant about poetry, but that doesn't stop me looking around.

I came across an electronic music anthology recently that included music composed by Luigi Russolo in 1913, an Italian futurist. I've got a copy of Bohn's volume of translations of Italian futurist poetry. I'm aware of the politic mistakes of those futurists, mistakes that I worry could repeat in these times.

What I'd like to know, though, is what other visual (etc.) poetries, preferably with originals or translations in English, contemporary or otherwise, should I look out for? Can people recommend anthologies for me to seek?

Oh, I'll mention that I'm aware of Bob Cobbing, and have some recordings of wonderful performances (thanks to ubu).
