Here are some poetry types that would be fun to experiment with in your journal, most which incorporate different artistic mediums!

Visual Poetry

Poetry that incorporates visual elements.

Concrete Poetry-

A poem that is written and manipulated to create a visual image that resembles the subject or theme of the work.

Calligrams Poetry-

Similar to concrete poetry, the work is written to resemble the subject or object of the text, but its emphasis is on the elaborate calligraphy of the words or individual letters to create the image.

Haiga-

A form of Japanese visual art where a haiku (a three line nature themed poem) is accompanied by a painted picture.

Found Poetry

Can be described as literary collage. It involves using external text, often from various sources, to either alter the previous work or create something entirely new.

Collage Poetry-

Poetry written using words, phrases, or lines from pre-existing texts and various sources to alter the meaning of a pre-existing work, or creating something entirely new. Also called: Cut-Up Poetry

Blackout Poetry- Also called: Erasure Poetry

Redacting large portions of text from a pre-existing passage, except for select words or phrases, to create a new work from what remains. Also Called: Erasure Poetry

Volume 64: The Joui Four reunion! I think this is the first time in this series that I've redrawn a canon panel in a more cartoony style, as opposed to doing freestyle doodles that way.

64, bonus pic: Katsura posing on a cannon while tossing a bomb. I have always been struck by how sorrowful he looks in this moment, but I wasn't able to capture that as well as I wanted.
