Default I have a text-only poem in a print journal!

Yay! I have a text-only poem in a print journal, Duality.


I also have vispo work out this July in TAB: The Journal of Poetry and Poetics, and Cutbow, a new online journal dedicated to hybrid work.

Congrats Sarah!

Yay, you've gone all low-resolution on us. I like the pinned underground wings, and that the found creatures seem to be both above ground (the people on pavements) and below it, human and not. Love how the close resolves past and present, hinting at an end to us all found creatures, prehistoric and modern, as we huddle and blur into non-existence.

Sarah-Jane,

I especially like how the subtle sonics underscore how the lost are found and lost. Good news about this and your other pub scores!

Well done Sarah-Jane. It draws a picture for us anyway.

I have never heard the term "vispo" before. So is this a "texto" poem?

Cheers

David

Thank you!

As you can probably tell I’m very happy about this (lol - I was going to sheepishly change my rather over-enthusiastic thread title but I’ll stick with it out of honesty even if it looks a bit silly in retrospect).

It’s rare for me to get my text-only poems published, and very rare to get them in a print journal (this is only the second time this has happened).

Thanks Cam & Matt (unbelievably this was a kind of spliced together edit of a NaPo poem fro 2015 with a haiku written on a particularly grim work trip to Manchester),

Ralph & Martin, thank you - (Ralph, I’m so glad the sonics worked. And thank you for congrats on the vispo pubs too - these are easier to place in the picture-hungry world of the web)

David! Thank you! I like the term ‘vispo’ as it’s nice and broad and means that I can count what I do with images as poetry in the same broad bucket as the clever concrete-poem people. Textpo, maybe? I can imagine really annoying a whole vast range of people if I call their work textpo…

Sarah-Jane

Fantastic, Sarah-Jane! Love the poem, especially the viscerally-green ending. Huge congrats!
