The Multiple Varieties of ART

Peter Ciccariello's Visual Poetry (from iARTistas # 5)
Didi Menendez has done it again. She has put together a remarkable magazine of art, some of it poetic, some of it visual poetry, and most of it visual artistic, and she's delivered it (this time) in so many formats that the mind reels. There are gorgeous visual poems, paintings, and photographs in this issue, all ready for your delectation.

Here are some of the venues for your feasting:

iPad Edition

This the the primary edition of the publication, and this is where the vision of the magazine comes through. The cover is animated and audible. Visual poems and followed by tiny verbo-visual movies of the poems. The voices of the poets read the poetry. If you have an iPad, download this free edition from iTunes via the link above.

Digital Edition

The digital edition is a flat online edition, designed as a paper edition. You can scroll through it, and zoom in, but it has none of the movement, visual and aural, of the iPad edition. This edition is free to anyone, and one click gets you watching it.

Print Edition

The print edition is the only one that costs. It's $15 dollars, payable through PayPal. I've just ordered my copy, so I can't say much about it, but I've seen Didi's other print publications, and they're all beautiful, and in full color.

Vimeo "Edition"

This is not really an edition, but this gives you a means to see the videos that appear in the iPad edition.

Submissions

One final point: The editors of iARTistas are reading for the May issue, and I do need some more visual poems for that edition. Follow the link to information on submissions, and consider sending me a stack of related visual poems for iPo (the section of iARTistas dedicated to visual poetry).
