VISUAL POETRY STUDIO GUIDE sep 28

The art of creating a visual response to a piece of writing is known as a reverse ekphrasis ie the inverse of the centuries old poetic form of ekphrasis. The most well known example being Charles Demuth 'Figure 5' based upon a W C Williams Poem.

EMAGI is a recent (fun) variation of a reverse ekphrasis derived by the advent of the widespread use of hand held digital communication devices -where words in digital symbols /letters can be represented as a shape and uses a poet's poem to inspire the digitised 'drawing'
