Description: Mary Ellen Solt's concrete poem "Moonshot", created in 1964, of which she noted that it was “Made by copying the scientists’ symbols on the first photos of the moon in the New York Times: there were exactly fourteen 'lines' with five 'accents'. We have not been able to address the moon in a sonnet successfully since the Renaissance. Admitting its new scientific content made it possible to do so again. The moon is a different object today.. Also the sonnet was a supranational, supralingual form as the concrete poem is.”
