Visual Poetry Test

in #poetry8 years ago

Started by 'testing' but ended in a twilight zone of poetry, art and photography...

Testing...Testing...

Well, while technically this is a 'test' post, why not test with content ?

Surely this doesn't need translating....

'Apfel' by Reinhard Döhl

But did you spot the little intruder ? (now thats a timely metaphor after the last week or so!)

A Few Words of Explanation

...and now a link test..that explains a little more about Visual Poetry

Lets block quote why its interesting today:

We are living through what might be the greatest age of visual poetry, in a time when the methods of production and distribution are such that the form can prosper without the need for extensive capital. A convergence of factors—which include the Internet, print-on-demand publishing, and an increasing interest in the visual and textual—has allowed this hybrid form to flourish across the planet. Visual poetry used to be confined to mimeographed or photocopied magazines that rarely existed in editions greater than one hundred. Today, many venues on the Internet, including poetry e-zines, regularly publish visual poetry, making access effectively free, and distribution essentially infinite.

Nevertheless, despite their limited means I do love the 20C classics like Apfel and Gomringers 'Wind':

A World Premier :)

I've dabbled myself so best end with a little piece by yours truly
