Summary/Abstract: In my paper, I discuss Edwin Morgan, the Scottish concrete poet and make an attempt to define what concrete poetry is. While Morgan focussed on changes, transformation, and metamorphosis as the main targets of his representation, transformation is also the basis of form in his poetics. I will argue that his credo is based upon the conviction of all concrete poetry: there is no signifier that can exist without a signified.
