This is Visual Poetry. No.3/Mar / J. Michael Mollohan., 2010

 Item
Identifier: CC-51892-72993
Scope and Contents

On the back cover, Mollohan states that he "was born in a log cabin. Well, not quite. I was born in 1947, which from 2010, seems like a log cabin. I have been interested particularly in those arts which push envelopes. I wrote my first poem between first and second grade. I've lived in Charleston, WV since 1975. I've worked for government, trade unions, bookstores, pizza places, software firms, and other non-poetic places. My visual poem, "Singularity" was used as a CD cover by Capitol Records. My poetry has been taught at the University of Iowa (thanks, Dan!). My ambitions are few, yet"¦ambitious. Nothing short of Nirvana will suffice. The contents of this book are conceptual photographs, artwork, and other plastic works that I deem to be evocative in a manner similar to that of a traditional poem. They are rather like Haiku of the mind." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Identifier: CC-51965-73067
Scope and Contents

On the back cover, it is stated that he is a multidisciplinary artist (conceptual poetry, video, performance, theater). He sees his work as a re-creation, an imperious dialogue with the dead and the living, sometimes absurd and, paradoxically, non-expressive. His researches also seek to transgress gender and to examine their limits. He realized many exhibitions in Montreal, where he is finishing his Master Degree in Theater. He's about to publish a conceptual chapbook, called DIRECTIONS, coauthored with Robert Fitterman (No press, 2010). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

I often connect asemic elements to my visual poems and I use many different kind of ways and methods to do visual poetry.
