visualized poem

A poem with some esthetic visual features but of only moderate significance.
(The most visualized of the pages of the book is the sixth. Where the typeface
and the size of the text change for emphasis, only to be covered by
strikeouts.) (Second, the visual representations he used were a bit clumsy.
Too much visualization to too little purpose.) (The humming of the text in my
ears accounted for part of this attraction, but I was also entranced by the
visualized text, the way in which phrasal scraps Dickey almost broadcast
upon the page telegraphed meaning out to me in a manner that suggested
pauses, elisions, gaps.)
