Visual Poetry
I have synaesthesia, which means that I blend senses together. In my case it is colour and text, and sometimes sound and colour. My particular form is called grapheme synaesthesia. This is one reason why I enjoy playing around with text in smaller units than the word. Here are a few places where you can find my attempts at visual poetry & below the links, you will find recent work, which i post on my visual poetry blog.
latest visual poetry chapbook is "une semaine dans la vie de l'alphabet" published in Puddles of Sky Press' "Illiterature, Issue 3: a journal of minimalist poetry"
In 2012, my visual poetry was published in the Last Vispo Anthology by Fantagraphics.
Gary Barwin included a talk and interview with me about my visual poetry in his Jacket2 feature, Languageye.

- The Vispo Bible: Judges completed
Today I completed all 21 chapters of Judges from the Old Testament. For each chapter I create an individual visual poem. I began it in July. I have now completed the translation of 319 pages of the Bible into visual poetry since I began the project in the summer of 2015. Or 319 visual poems. For more information, please go to my vispo blog.
