Erdinger Concrete Poetry Collective
Barrie Tullett, Kim Campanello, Chris McCabe, Victoria Bean, SJ Fowler.

The Erdinger Concrete Poetry Collective, originally the English Erdinger Appreciation Society, formed in Munich, Germany, March 2020. An ad hoc society for the appreciation of legendary visual poets, beginning with our spiritual patriarch Raphael Erdinger, the collective also produces collaborative concrete poetry and performances. Meetings are held in secret and are not open to the public at large.

The first two publications of the collective - ERDINGER : WORKS TEXTS POEMS & ETAOIN SHRDL : SOUND POEMS - have been edited and produced by Barrie Tullet and his Caseroom Press in beautiful limited editions, see below. They are so limited, copies are not available to the public at large.

I must admit, before the Klang Farben Text in Munich, and that remarkable project’s constant exchange and collaboration as an active learning experience for me, I had never come across the German sound / concrete poet Raphael Erdinger. It’s thanks to Chris McCabe’s curatorial vision in suggesting we ask the German participants in the project to present on classic concrete poets that this fascinating figure came up. And then over dinner, stories of this anonymous trailblazer so stoked us that it has resulted in a rare reprinting of his work, thanks to Barrie Tullett, in this beautiful limited edition of 6. I have one and you, if you are reading this, cannot have one. But behold
