Notes About The Poem

Emagi form of Edward Thomas' Hay making' poem https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53746/haymaking

VISUAL POETRY STUDIO GUIDE sep 21

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.(see link in notes above)

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'


Edward Thomas 'HAYMAKING'
