Light & Dust Poets
USA
A tour de force
Web site for high-caliber experimental visual and new media
poetry. Here are rare and unique works by many of this century's
most talented artists and poets -- well known and, well,
lesser well known...
"The site includes a number of complete books, many of
them out of print; some are published here for the first
time."
Karl Young's
Light & Dust Poets is notable for unique and rare works
and books available only at L&DP -- and for the shear scope
of the site -- the number of works and artists represented, and
the quality and diversity of talent you will find here. Look into
highly original works by poets Michael Basinski, The Wild Elephant
(colorful!); Wanda Coleman, poems from American Sonnets; Theodore
Enslin, The Weather Within; Bob Grumman, MATHEMAKU 6-12 (I love
these!); John Montoya, 5 pages of little people, scrolled; Harry
Polkinhorn, five poems; and many others -- all
delightful!
Whatever your taste or style, viewing or reading requirements,
chances are good you will find in the pages of L&DP something
to satisfy. Art, poetry, essays, traditional and new visual poetry
in myriad styles... there is something of interest for every
visitor.
Publisher and visual poet
Karl Young has posted a number of his own fine works, original
creative works of visual poetry (like the samples above) to
traditional literal (visual) poetry. Karl has also written many
of the introductions to works of his guests, providing visitors
with unique and valuable insight to the artists and their work.
Thanks, Karl!
It is not possible to say there is a single artist who stands out
from the others -- all of the artists here are outstanding! --
but the very beautiful and graphical visual poetry (see below) of artist
and poet Clemente Padin is especially appealing in my eye. Here are
strong ideas and graphics, and subtle aesthetics...
