Abstract

An experimental course was devised in which students with backgrounds in poetry and in the graphic arts worked to discover essential relationships between verbal and visual poetic statement. The course organization utilized a university environment to the fullest and is offered as a prototypical case study. Students participated in a series of multidisciplinary guest lectures and in studio-based development of creative projects. Their work eventually moved beyond the more traditional views of the poetry-printing dialectic conceived for the course and resembled more the creative speculation of avant-garde art.
