More pages and sequences from a work in progress

I'm currently envisioning it as a 200-page book, tentatively titled "A Survey of the Territory." These pages will most likely be tweaked and/or re-sequenced before publication.

The Last Vispo anthology

Closed Caption, visual poem by Damian Lopes, from The Last Vispo

Very soon, Fantagraphics will publish The Last Vispo Anthology: Visual Poetry 1998 - 2008 edited by Crag Hill & Nico Vassilakis. The editors' site. Fantagraphics page.

It includes 143 contributors from 23 countries. Many of the visual poems use elements of comics, or bear a family resemblance to comics: works by David Ostrem, Bill DiMichele, Jim Leftwich, Gary Barwin, Serge Segay, & a collab between Marc Bell & Jason McLean come to mind.

Troylloyd/Troy Lloyd & I from the Abstract Comics anthology are also in this one.

Unlike comics, the majority of visual poems are single page works. Everything happens in the space of a single page. Sequence is the order of where you focus your eyes as you "drink" the contents of a visual poem.

I suggest that reading visual poetry is helpful to developing visual literacy.

The Intercorstal: Page 60

Here's Page 60 of The Intercorstal. I started this a long time ago and then put it to one side, unsatisfied with how it was going. Found it again by chance in my copy of Watchmen when I went to the 2000AD Mega Signing event in September.
