Types of Shape is a collection of pattern poems (also known as shaped verse or concrete poetry) by the American poet John Hollander. First published in 1969 by Atheneum, the book was released in a New, Expanded Edition in 1991 by Yale University Press. The collection features poems where the typographical arrangement of the text on the page creates a visual image of the object or concept described in the poem. Hollander’s work in this volume is noted for reviving the ancient tradition of shaped verse, which ranges from Alexandrian Greek poets to Lewis Carroll, and applying it with modern wit and technical precision. The copy being offered here is in excellent like-new condition - it has not been opened and read.
