The difference between abstract poetry and writing with abstractions

[rayheinrich]

Dame Edith was a class act -- an artist to the core, and absolutely devoted to perfecting her technique. Though fairly abstract, this has enough linked parts to build an entire picture. Beautiful.

She's one I (humbly) try to imitate. She called them 'abstract poems'.
But 'abstract', as she used it, meant 'montage' (like those whirling newspapers
with progressing dates in the movies that denote the passage of time).
Her words aren't on the page, they are in your head. It is there that they to produce
the image; and, more often than not, a cohesive (pun?) narrative.
