The Women in Visual Poetry: The Bechdel Test

The Women in Visual Poetry: The Bechdel Test

K.S. Ernst
5/5 ( ratings)
EP 18.

In EP 18, Jessica Smith prompts five female visual poets to discuss the current landscape of their community.

Initially, my desire as an editor was to provoke interesting conversations about visual poetry among women who knew each others’ visual poetry, and knew each other, well. What emerged during the production process was different and more radical than I had anticipated. To me, the love of these women for each other and each other’s work is clear in the way they speak to each other. Here we have women openly taking up space together, talking to each other, loving each other, and creating with each other on a daily basis.
