Splitting the Genre, An Intersection of Poetry and Art

[Ruth]

A beautiful little book by Six Arrow Press, on visual poetry. I’m pleased to have four of my pieces included. My MFA is in Painting, I spent many years as an exhibiting artist, and teaching art at the college level. In these hybrid pieces I combine my two loves, poetry and art. The idea is built on the poetry of “erasure,” eliminating words from a piece of prose to expose the poem within. There’s also a nice interview.
You can see the entire book online here: http://www.blurb.com/books/5377678-sp... My stuff is on pages 13-21.
