Visio-Textual Art Sites
Of late, I've felt too bombarded by announcements of places on the net devoted to my kind of visio-textual art to keep track of. So, I came up with the idea of VizPo-Central, which is intended to be a site listing, as fully as possible, all Internet collections of visual poetry and visual art containing text and any other kind of art similar to either of these. My hope is that each issue of a webzine, or homepage of a website specializing in the display of such forms of art will list it here--by sending me a comment with the a link to the zine or site, its name, and something about its contents.I will leave the comment available but list a link under "Internet Sources" above to the right. Eventually, I hope to make it much more easy to use than I'm sure it will be at first. Suggestions welcome.

Later note: I found this blog too difficult to work with, so never followed up on my idea. Maybe I'll come back to it. Meanwhile, I do have an ongoing site called po-X-cetera, one of the main subjects of which is visio-textual art. Let me mention, too, that the best website for vizpo, and poetry in general, is light&dust.
