In this, the only full-length study of the visual poetry of the
early twentieth century, Willard Bohn expertly illuminates the
works of Apollinaire, Josep-Maria Junow, Guillermo de Torre, and
others. His fascinating aesthetic insights bring to life this
elusive and often misunderstood genre.
"An important contribution. Highly sophisticated, the study tends
to raise its reader's impression of visual poetry in the twentieth
century from trivial pastime to serious preoccupation."--Eric
Sellin, "Journal of Modern Literature"
"With his definitive analyses full of quotable observations and
sharp critical insights, Bohn has provided a model, pioneering
study, one from which current and future studies of visual poetry
will most certainly benefit."--Gerald J. Janacek, "Romance
Quarterly"
"Bohn substantiates his thesis with thoughtful and often ingenious
"explications "of texts both well known and hard to find. . . .
"Aesthetics of Visual Poetry" is a thoroughly researched,
beautifully written and fascinating introduction to an infinitely
intriguing genre."--Mechthild Cranston, "French Review"
