    A collage comic, how inventive. I like. And the idea has lots of potential.

    I like quite a bit of this work you have shown which calls itself "Visual Poetry" --- but am I the only one bothered by the name? I suppose it is nitpicking, but 'visual poetry' reminds me of that graphic-designer-y stuff in the 70s, 'graphic poetry,' and also appears to be an attempt to avoid the word 'comics.'

    Thanks! And I've been calling these things poem-comics!

    Hey Mark--are you sure you weren't intending to reply to the message above this one? Because I haven't seen Jason use the term visual poetry, but Tim did in his post.

    For what it's worth, I don't see Jason coming out of vispo at all. He's an artist who does comics...

    As for visual poetry, I think it more often than not still fits your description of "graphic poetry." Here you'll find addressed the question of what's the difference between a visual poet and a graphic designer:

    Huth's answer, as far as I can tell, is that a visual poet makes no money at it.
