Dom Sylvester Houdard was a Benedictine Monk in Britain who was immersed in the avant-garde, beatnik art culture of the 1960s. A skilled theologian, he was on an intense quest for spiritual and contemplative awareness in his life. One of the ways he dove into his faith was by the concrete poetry art form. Concrete poetry not only focuses on the intricate combinations of words and syntax, but also on the graphical space of the words on the page. This concept harkens back to my previous post of Marshall McLuhan: The medium is the message.
