I find it very interesting to see poetry altered for a more visual and auditory form, possibly content. There are many different forms of visual poetry that even the content of the pieces appear entirely different. Is there a greater connection to all of the pieces besides being labeled within the genre of visual poetry, communication, and use of words/letters?
Most of the contemporary sound poetry I find here are gibberish with sound effects. Although Dada use gibberish to prevent anyone using their pieces as war propaganda but do contemporary sound poets use the same content today? Would any care if sound poetry be considered music or part of it? Some of them sound musical or lyrical, like the Schwitters piece.
On a different topic, I was afraid that (modern) visual and sound poetry would be more eurocentric. It is a good thing that ubuweb refer to non-western types of poetry which I find myself particularly drawn to. Their forms with the modern version are similar to make the link at least.
