In a concrete poem, the placement of words on the page is related to the meaning of the poem. Silently reread line four, noticing your eye motion. How is that motion related to what the line says and to Columbus' actual voyage from Spain? Why do the ships' names shift slightly more to the left each time they appear in the poem? Why are only two ships listed in line thirteen? Only one in line fifteen? Are there other instances where the placement of words or phrases—especially at the ends of lines—is related to the events as they occur in the poem?
