Description
Visual Poetry
Are works of art that I
have made , Using poems
that I have written.
I then use existing pieces
of artwork that I have made
Or make new digital art.
Putting the two together
I feel creates Something
new and exciting.
I see a lot of poetry individually
and a lot of individual artwork.
Usually put together by
two separate artists.
I give all of myself in
these works of art
Visual poetry was heavily
influenced by Fluxus, which
is usually described as being
Intermedia. Intermedia work
tends to blur the distinctions
between different media,
and visual poetry blurs the
distinction between art and text.
Whereas concrete poetry is
still recognizable as poetry,
being composed of purely
typographic elements,
visual poetry is generally
much less text-dependent.
Visual poems incorporate text
but the text may have primarily
a visual function.
Visual poems often incorporate
significant amounts of non-text
imagery in addition to text.
Visual Poetry
Broken
People In my life, are shards of glass. Like the mirror , I just dropped on the floor. Shattering into a thousands pieces. Some are long and round ,No fear of getting hurt.Most are jagged , with razor sharp edges.I always choose such pretty mirrors, That hurt me. There is no way to pick up those pieces , without getting cut. How deep the wounds ?I never know until I try. I loved that mirror.
I still care for all the pieces. I pick up every painful sliver with my bare hands.I will buy a new mirror . Knowing in the end, it will become , A jagged razor sharp knife from a broken mirror. That I cared for.
