TEXTIMAGEPOEM
A Blog Edited by Jim Leftwich

Textimagepoem is a weblog managed by Jim Leftwich, which began in 2005. This is a non-interactive archival version of it through 2007. The live blog may be accessed at http://jimleftwichtextimagepoem.blogspot.com/ .

Textimagepoem is an unparalleled source for avant garde and experimental poetry, visual poetry, mail art, collaborative art, and related materials.

Jim Leftwich has provided the following account:

Textimagepoem evolved from the print magazines, Juxta and Xtant. The first issue of Juxta was published in 1994 and only contained a couple of pages of visual poetry. The first issue of Xtant was published in 2001 and was almost entirely visual poetry and mail art. When I started the blog zine Textimagepoem, in May of 2005, I thought of it as simply a continuation and expansion of these earlier magazines. Textimagepoem is archived weekly at the site. The average week has roughly 150 posts (though a few weeks are much larger, and a few are much smaller). As a blog zine it can be read as if it were a periodical, published weekly (in fact, it is updated almost daily). The weekly archives can be read online, or downloaded in pdf format (and anyone who wants to can print them, of course).
