May 3: G. M. Palmer responded briefly to the comments of mine that I posted here yesterday. When he asked where he could find visual poetry besides UBU, I told him at light&dust, but that the best thing to do was investigate individual poets, a few of whom I named. Meanwhile, I recognized, not for the first time, how haphazardly available visual poetry was. UBU is professional but has huge gaps; light&dust is much better, but also has gaps, and sprawls, much of the sprawl taking it away from visual poetry (which I consider a good thing, but which makes its visual poetry less well-set-up for research). We need a decent index to visual poetry. To provide that is the reason I set up a second blog at http://vizpocentral.blogspot.com in February. I didn't follow through. The blog quickly seemed too difficult to maintain, unlike this one. Plus, I realized hardly anyone would cooperate with me or visit the blog.
Thinking about what visual poets Palmer should get to know, though, made me start of list of visio-textual artists there. A list for me, mainly, though I'd be pleased if anyone else used it. It's HERE. I'll be adding to it. Help would be appreciated.
