pedro,
my response to poetry on this site comes immediately after your request
below. this is a coincidence only. they both arrived in my mailbox at the
same time.
dick higgins published a history of pattern poetry that should answer most
of your questions. bern porter figures early in as a practitioner of
foundpoetry (and thereforevisual). kenneth patchen is often overlooked and
should not be.
yours,
dave
