‘Imaged Words & Worded Images’ is an excursion into an intriguing new kind of art, derived as much from contemporary advertising as from the experiments of occasional poets and writers throughout the centuries.

Both serious and playful, practiced by artists and poets in many countries, it consists of images that are made of words and words designed to be images. The collection, the first anthology of “imaged words” and “worded images,” is an invitation for readers and lookers to devise their own. — Richard Kostelanetz.
