Typical Atypical Visual Poetry Show–Thanks Cecil! 
February 17th, 2007 by Jesse Glass

Cecil Touchon has kindly curated a show devoted to typical and untypical visual poetry by members of the Spidertangle group. It’s nicely done with interesting work from Kathy Ernst, Cecil himself, Jukka-Pekka Kervinen, Nico Vassilakis, Geof Huth (who gives us a colorful example), David Baptist Chirot (who’s a bit obvious in his atypical selection), Miekal And, whose alphabet written after too many cups of coffee is a favorite, and others. Many folks didn’t show: Bob Grumman of the Grukucrew (a small group of creators who persist in wrongfully bestowing variations of the word haiku on texts and vispo) didn’t favor us with a selection because, as he indicated in a note, he doesn’t do atypical work. Carlos Luis didn’t make it, and is missed, because he truly is one of the best of the bunch. I believe Cecil indicated that he is still open for submissions so perhaps more folks will participate. Here’s the link.
