3 Concrete Poems – Jerome Berglund 

Author’s Note: These 3 pieces are vispo interpretations of haibun, haiku, and tanka string/gunsaku.

Signage take off  black and white composed of text like street signage - a falling body, a road text, a triangle of tiny words around it, a rounded rectangle around that -
text like waves:
when
ledge   ever
on the      I hear a
dust                        finch
                                         now
Title Blue Moon:   An arc shaped title
below different size and shaped bar glasses composed of words that create visual references -text riddles to restaurants and inner journeys.
