how to promote poemics worldwide

pszren

I've talked about promoting poemics to English speaking artists with some friends, one of them told me, that we should begin with creating a webpage (in English), where it would be explained what poemics is, where there would be examples and tutorials. after that we should contact people around the world, I mean artists who create e.g. comics, poetry, photography or posters. then we could think about a poemics forum in English.

this scenario could be repeated in many languages.

what do you think about the idea? it would take time and effort, but maybe it's possible.

I think it's an intriguing effort. I mentioned in the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]you started that I've been exploring the basic concept for years... finding a was to combine poetry with artwork in a way that improves them both. The juxtaposition can either accentuate the obvious meanings of both, or can pair contrasting concepts and force you to look at them in a way you never would have by themselves.

It's one of the reasons I love comics, as well: they blur the line separating artwork and literature. Many of the greatest authors worked in prose as well as poetry, and I see no reason the same can't be true of comic authors.

Dear That Guy,

it's great you're here. I've tried to invite some other people from abroad, but I think it's too early for that. let's keep in touch for a long time, please Smile

the poemics you have shown some time ago is really great! it can be a good explanation of the differences between poetry, comics and poemics. I thought of making such examples, where one could see a poem on one side, a comics on the other, and a poemics between the two. more or less the same meaning or story shown in three ways.

perhaps we should gather more examples of poemics in English in this thread?
