The minimalist concrete poetry site at:

http://www.logolalia.com/minimalistconcretepoetry/

has been updated with 7 pieces by Christopher Major.

The language I enjoy the most is the language that reveals and revels
in slippage, trapdoors, inbe tweens, ambiguities, multiple
simultaneous indeterminate functions.

Many would say that ASCII art holds no more promise than shaped poems
for producing anything remarkable, because ASCII art uses letterforms
exclusively for their visual properties, with no regard for their
semantic value. 

These poems of Christopher Major's go beyond ASCII art, beyond the
mere shaped poem, and occupy a place that is indeterminate with
respect to what, exactly, language is doing, has done, and can do.

Enjoy,
Dan
