See how sounds are translated into visual information on the page using poetic formatting conventions such as line breaks, stanzas, and spacing. Learn how visual poetry traditions from 300 BC to the present blur the lines between visual art and poetry, urging us to look at a poem rather than just reading it for its sound and meaning. This workshop will open your eyes to how the visual aspect of writing can be meaningful in its myriad uses, from advertising to poetry.
