She said she hated music videos, because once she saw them, she couldn’t get the picture out of her head. Songs with videos she’d never seen, she had her own picture. I kind of feel that way about the poems: I like it when you can get your own picture. Best is when the graphic has nothing to do with the poem, and it’s the juxtaposition that makes the meaning.

People seem to dig it when I get more graphical with the pieces:

EXPATRIATE

SIGHTING

Hopefully we’ll have a few of the more graphical ones in the mix for the book.

As it stands, you can still make out the photos through the black ink. Maybe there's a way to only mask part of the photo in order to illustrate the poem?
