Which type of poem did you like best?

[Kathy Smith 16]

Of the three types, I personally enjoyed the calligrams the most because of the effort needed to take the poem and contort it visually to create the image.

[Marina Flisvou]

‘Spring Love’ touched me the most. Especially because springtime has always been associated with fresh starts and promising romance. It has all this potential to capture the very beginnings of what love is composed off, the beginning with promise and beauty. The innocence of the new love that comes with spring is just as fresh as the freshness of the spring itself and has not been tainted by previous affairs.

[Heidi M Simone]

I definitely enjoyed the calligrams the best too. I liked “In Unison” and “Utmost Care”. I love both the messages and the style of each of these.

[Conshelle Dwight William]

I think the calligrams were what I enjoyed the most!

[Celestine Apiche]

The calligrams were absolutely thee best. Calligrams hold significance in both visual art and literature. They combine text and imagery, creating a unique fusion that enhances the overall expression of a message. This form allows for a deeper connection between the content and the audience, engaging viewers in a more interactive and memorable way.

[Timothy Rucinski]

I enjoyed the redactive poetry the most. The calligrams were well done, but being able to derive the little gems of poetry from the existing literary texts was unique. Unlike the calligrams, i could read these small poems over and over again.

[Sav Sparkman]

My favorites were the Photographed poems. I liked how she used the forms of the objects as bases for the poems, both literally and figuratively. She arranged many of the pieces in an interesting way as well so it was engaging to look at. These were the poems with the most double entendre and I found them to be some of the more entertaining ones.

[Mari Thompson]

I like the calligrams mixed with the redactive poetry. An example is “The Bigger the Better.” It was a calligram in the fact that the poem itself was the shape of the object that the poem was talking about (a ring). It was also a redactive poem because of the fact that the poem had a hidden obscure meaning of not only a ring but another adult thing.

I completely agree! I think the redactive poetry is incredibly creative and shows a unique perspective on viewing the work of others.
