Selected Poems and New / Villa, Jose Garcia., 1958

 Item
Identifier: CC-34876-36586
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.

Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and John Lennon assassinations, the space shuttle Challenger disaster, the Columbine shootings, 9/11, and the death of Michael Jackson. While we've become accustomed to watching endless reruns of these tragic spectacles"”often to the point of cliche"”once rendered in text, they become unfamiliar, and revealing new dimensions emerge.
