Sinopsis

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´
