angelhousepress _ a tribute to “the last vispo anthology”

AngelHousePress presents NationalPoetryMonth.ca, a celebration of poetic
form of all kinds and an homage to those poets who try to extend the
definition of poetry. This year’s edition, which marks our fifth
anniversary, is a tribute to the Last Vispo, an anthology of visual
poetry edited by Nico Vassilakis and Crag Hill and published by
Fantagraphics in 2012. The site contains visual poetry, asemic writing,
collage, concrete poetry and other forms of whimsy by artists from
Australia, Canada, the USA, Finland, Hungary, Italy, and Sweden. Each
day in April a different visual poem will be shown. AngelHousePress
thanks all who participated and sent work for consideration and wishes
the month had at least forty five days in order to showcase all the
great poetry we received.

Starting April 1, please visit NationalPoetryMonth.ca for a different visual poem every day.
