Poet, playwright, composer, performer, artist, and publisher, Dick Higgins is one of the preeminent transmedia artists of our time. Mr. Higgins became interested in pattern poetry (modern visual poetry) in 1967 and has spent the past two decades collecting examples from all corners of the world. His recently published Pattern Poetry: Guide to an Unknown Literature describes over 2,000 pattern poems while illustrating more than 150 of the best of them.
