nothing spectacular2
One of the editors, Bob Grumman, suggested I read this book as an introduction to visual poetry. I'm not sure how good of an introduction to visual poetry I'd say this book is. Most of the work inside I would call visual art that uses text and words in the piece. There are a few 'visual poems'. But it is subtitled 'visio-textual art' so I guess it delivers on what it claims to. The problem is that most of the work inside isn't very good. This 'poetry' isn't mainstream because of the establishment or The Man keeping them down, it's not well-known because it isn't very good.
