Scope and Contents

Villa creates comma poems, "in which the commas are an integral and essential part of the medium: regulating the poem's verbal density and time movement: enabling each word to attain a fuller tonal and sonal value, and the line movement to become more measured." The poems are linear with commas separating every word. The artist Robert Indiana was very much influenced by Villa. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
