Visual poet-artist, Keith S. Wilson, says this about visual poetry: “ I’m interested in a sense of play. In many of the understandings of that. Play means wiggle room, and I’m interested in that–in one’s placement space allowing for more than one understanding of something. And play implies a sense of freedom and even joy sometimes, which comes sometimes through movement through space. But play can also invoke discipline and intentionality as well, as when one plays an instrument.”
