Maximum White Space
This very brief poem is a kind of ‘spare verse’. It uses an economy of words to play between the spaces of the page and the poem. The silence of the ‘white space’, as it were, is to give a frame or container for the poem. Compare with Which Space?
I’m teaching some students this week about using white space for document design. I’ll have to show them your poem!
You are too kind Emily. But I love the sound of what you are teaching your students. 🙂
