nico vassilakis: “letters of intent” (visual essays)

LETTERS of INTENT
by Nico Vassilakis
A book of visual poetry
120 pages in full color
Available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/8182538548

LETTERS of INTENT

  • is a collection of visual essays designed to explore the interior space of language material;
  • unfolds in chapters that investigate the methods, processes, manifestos and potentials of visual poetry;
  • attempts to blend the verbo-visual concept of reading seeing with the position that letters and their visual properties keep the germ of language afloat and operating while word formations are merely a convenience we’ve become accustomed to.
