dbqp: visualizing poetics

Though we cut the world into pieces to make sense of it, I continue understand things in relation to others, mixing thoughts together, hybridizing ideas. So much so that I cannot tell if what I create are poems or cartoons. A common problem with visual poets, most of whom don't care about these distinctions. I care a little, but only because the boundaries are where I work the most, and the reality of those boundaries makes possible the work I do.

I wonder who was the greatest poet of the twentieth century: George Herriman or Bill Watterson? It is hard to say. Different styles allow different possibilities.
