Women of Visual Poetry Issue


Lori Anderson Moseman, Jet Black
"What is 'visual poetry'? Just as the question of “what is poetry?” may be answered differently by every reader and practitioner, so 'visual poetry' is hard to define closely. The unifying elements of the visual poems presented here seem twofold: first, the following poets responded to the call for 'visual poetry' with the following works (a self-defined community); second, the poems privilege the visual or material over the verbal or sonic. Poetry is so often compared to music that the visual element of the word on the page is transparent in many poems."
