I <3 Visual Poetry...
To me, visual poetry describes a collection of images that elicits particular feelings of nostalgia when combined together.
At the beginning of April 2020, I began making visual poems to anyone who wanted one. I could either use photos from their Instagram, photos they sent me, or photos from my own imagery stash. They could also give me a theme of the poem. I was overwhelmed with response: so many reached out saying they wanted their own.
For a week in June, 100% of proceeds for Visual Poems went to Mutual Aid ATX - an organization that collected donations for the ATX Bail Fund, medical aid, protest supplies as well as other Black Lives Matter Initiatives. I was able to raise $1000+ in total.
