"spring" and "w," two other poems by LeRoy Gorman that do need to be seen to be fully appreciated, are more visual:

Both echo in their placement on the page the sprouting of vegetation in spring. Only "spring," with its color and life in the form of vowels below, and its skeleton shooting into the sky, seems to me visual enough to be considered a litagraph. I like "w" just as much but see it as unadulteratedly infraverbal--a solitextual poem, only.

The next specimen, the untitled collage above by Peggy Lefler, entirely leaves visual poetry although it contains both verbal and visual elements, and the former can be said to be as important to the work's aesthetic effect as the latter. But the two kinds of elements are not fused. Indeed, the words seem to me labels, albeit labels selected and placed with more than a modicum of poetic sensitivity. Here the visual and verbal work together, but they do not work as one. Hence, I term Lefler's collage an illuscription.
