The Art of the Non-Poem © 2007 Lila Publishing |
On several occasions Rama gave us an assignment to create a Non-Poem and an accompanying photo that captured the spirit of the writing.

We also see this used in some advertising, where the graphic somehow catches the feeling that the company wants you to have about their product. The Elegance of French Style....
