Space (visual Ketabi-) modern poem

Abstract

This paper deals with a vital aspect of literature, called visual / written space, which we mean: the exterior visual side of the poem, the way distributing lines, the distribution of writing blocks, punctuations, etc. It was somewhat a neglected aspect by both poets and critics alike, but modern techniques have provided an opportunity to the aesthetic and semantic recruitment through various printing arts. Punctuations no longer are just signs to show poses or acoustic contexts, but have became indications of interpretive semantics in the structure of the text. The same thing has turned with the distribution of the writing between whiteness and blackness. The Point became an indication of different connotations, as if they are time courses or subtle arguments or undeclared complement. More than that, some poets have gone far enough in making the written forms as expressive methods in order to create a visual poem, to be seen by the eye, moving away of their audio / temporal job, towards a visual/ place text. The last idea is another matter, as our research focuses on the visual space in its audio center, which is implicit visual power in the text with out optical advertence. So, we chose the neutral model deliberately to prove the theory of our approach that emphasizes importance of visual form and connotations and inspirations.
