Concrete poets continue to turn out beautiful things, but to me they're more visual than oral, and they almost really belong on the wall rather than in a book. I haven't the least idea of where poetry is going. ↗

I think we will always have the impulse towards visual poetry with us, and I wouldn't agree with Bly that it's a bad thing. It depends on the ability of the individual poet to do it well, and to make a shape which is interesting enough to hold your attention. ↗

Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies. ↗

Words aren't very good at describing complicated, strange visual things. You can try, and the reader will have some sort of image in their mind, but words aren't good at that. ↗

Slowly poetry becomes visual because it paints images, but it is also musical: it unites two arts into one. ↗
