Amanda Earl
The Vispo Bible is a life’s work to translate every chapter, every verse, every book of the Bible into visual poetry. My talk “The Vispo Bible: One Woman Recreates the Bible as Visual Poetry” was presented at Kanada Koncrete Material Poetries in the Digital Age at the University of Ottawa in May 2018.
‘Genesis 33’ has previously been published on Renegade March 2019 and the Facebook Group Poesie Visuelle.
Amanda Earl’s visual poetry has been exhibited in Canada, Brazil and Russia. Chapters from the Vispo Bible have been published as chapbooks by publishers in Canada, Sweden and UK. Earl’s vispo has also been published in the last vispo: anthology: visual poetry 1998-2008 (Fantagraphics, 2012), Of the Body, (Puddles of Sky Press, 2012), Bone Sapling, a collaboration with Gary Barwin, (AngelHousePress, 2014), a field guide to fanciful bugs, (avantacular press, 2010), Montparnasse: this is visual poetry, (chapbook publisher, 2010) and in the magazines, untethered (2017) and dreamland (2016). Amanda’s visual poetry also appears in online journals, Brave New Word, Angry Old Man, Ustanga, h&, Our Teeth otoliths, tip of the knife, ffooom, the new post literate, Logalia.com, DrunkenBoat, and the Bleed. Gary Barwin gave a lovely write up of Amanda’s visual poetry on Jacket2, “What kind of [sic] sense is that?: Amanda Earl & the synaesthesia of reading” (June, 2013).
