Conceptual Poetry

Conceptual poetry is a form of poetry where the idea or concept behind the work takes precedence over traditional notions of language, form, or aesthetic. It emphasizes the processes, instructions, or systems used to create the poem, often exploring how meaning is constructed and questioned. Instead of focusing solely on emotional expression or narrative, conceptual poetry encourages viewers to think about the nature of language, authorship, and meaning itself. It challenges conventional poetry by making the concept or method central, sometimes blurring the line between art and idea.
