What is visual literature?
It sounds like a simple question. It's literature that presents itself visually, but what does that really mean? Well the best way to get a feel of what visual literature is, is to see some. So how about it?
First—Where can you find it? Here!
Sometimes it's poetry or prose with a typographical slant.

Which can often take on a concrete poetry form.

Often it's an experimental form that requires a visual medium.

Of course an image is often used to enhance the words and the two are married together.
That marriage can be total:

Still other times it takes more familiar slants—Comics anyone?

And last but not least—There are prints for lit!
