Don’t worry. Most of the expansion of poetry I talk about is simply wishful thinking. I’ve spent my adult life creating a poetry project called vispo.com and am still not eligable to apply as a poet to the Canada Council cuz I haven’t published a book—have never had much interest in publishing a book.
My favorite contemporary poetry is not even known as poetry. Such as the work of Gregory Whitehead, Jenny Holzer, and Jhave Johnston.
Still, I think it’s a beautiful dream to think of ‘poetry' as being as wide as ‘visual art’ in the type of works, media, and even arts involved.
