Poetry Wales: Poetry and the Visual

Soon to hit the shelves is a new issue of Poetry Wales, focusing on 'Poetry and the Visual'.

Alongside such big names as Dannie Abse, Peter Finch, David Greenslade, and Pascale Petit, I am delighted to be included with my essay 'Visual Poetics in Wales: A Note on Previous Engagements'.

Writing this piece was a particular pleasure: it gave me the chance both to correspond with a number of practitioners of visual poetics in Wales - including Alison Bielski, Peter Finch, Philip Jenkins, and J. P. Ward - and to re-print some classic visual poems from the late 1960s/early 1970s.
