Abstract
This manuscript contains visual poems that use condensed written texts and other visual elements, such as color, line, erasure, positive space, and negative space, to create an emphasis on the visual materiality of language. These poems address conceptualizations of the female body, consciousness, violence, liberation, inclusion, and emphasis. They are the result of manipulations of simple word processing programs (most often Microsoft Word) and follow a poetic tradition of "text as image," or interdependency of verbal, spatial, and visual elements that began in prehistory.
