Implications of the Visual Graphic Variation in the Modern Poetic Text

Abstract

It has become known that the modern poetic address is no longer limited to words and ideas only. Rather, it has come to include other elements which cannot be realized by any means other than the eyes. These elements are necessary for understanding the text in light of the graphic variation which the poet chooses for his text. In this context, a change has appeared in the reception of contemporary poetry, which leans more towards silent reading. This has created a space for generating visual identities for texts. The way the text is written is now one of the things that determine its meaning and frame its path. And visual variation in the modern poetic text has taken different forms, such as blackness and whiteness and the implicational blankness associated with them, vocalization, geometric figures and fragmentary functions.
