Singular Vispo

Nico Vassilakis invites visual poets to discuss a specific visual poem that captivated their imaginations. So far there have been five parts. It's a great opportunity to gain insight into visual poetry and to read about some spectacular vispoets. I talk about Mary Ellen Solt's "Flowers in Concrete" in Part 5.
