As part of the poetry unit in my Intro to Creative Writing class we take a look at some examples of visual poetry. This includes some calligrams, some collage poetry, and Tom Phillips’ remarkable A Humument: A Treated Victorian Novel. Wikipedia gives a good overview of the book and the Humument website features a gallery of pages.
The final assignment in the poetry unit asks students to try their hand at writing some visual poetry. Last semester most students opted for collage, and this semester many more leaned toward the calligrams. A few students chose to do Humument-inspired pieces and I was really impressed with the results and asked if I could share them here.
