Dear All,
I just want to respond as well to Cris' observation of the energy of the
narrative drives of cartoons and graphic novels. There's an enormous amount of
negotiation with narrative and structure in the genres, and an immense
possibility of juxtaposition as well. I am exploring the tension
between their images and text in my own poems, and I would love to see
this tension, and its connotations, alluded to more in contemporary writing.
Scott Mc Cloud's /Understanding Comics/ is wonderful. He's going to be
publishing another study of comics soon. I 'm very much looking forward
to seeing it.
Yours,
Ivy Garlitz
