Sinopsis

PrefaceFrom the beginning of my work in visual poetry fifty years ago, I wanted to create from words alone images so strong that they would stick in viewers&rsquo, heads long after their eyes turned away from my works. When I first heard the epithet Afterimage as an honorific among visual artists, I recognized it as analogous to the strongest lines in strictly verbal poetry.Now that I&rsquo,ve seen others claim the epithet Visual Poetry for words embedded in other kinds of images, I feel more reason to declare and extend my original ambition to make the most powerful afterimages available to me with words alone.Secondouroboros represents a sequel to an earlier collection Ouroboros with different visual forms also published by NYQ Books (2014).Many Shorter Ouroboros, all with less than seven letters, I&rsquo,ve put into clear circular cylinders, thus making small Sculptures that must be held and spun in a viewer&rsquo,s hand to be &ldquo,read.&rdquo,&mdash,Richard Kostelanetz, 14 May 2020á
