>> Hi Patrick,
>>
>>
>>
>> Here are some titles that you might be interested in taking a look at:
>>
>>
>>
>> John Porcellino often illustrates his own poems or includes illustrated
>> versions of classic haiku in *King-Cat*. You might start with
>> collections like *King-Cat Classix*, *Map of My Heart*, or *From Lone
>> Mountain*.
>>
>>
>>
>> At his distro, Spit and a Half, he also has copies of a collection
>> (without comics or illustrations) of some of his earlier poetry, *On
>> Ruby Hill*:

>>
>>
>> Marnie Galloway's *In the Sounds and Seas* is a wordless adaptation of *The
>> Odyssey*, very much in the spirit of H.D.'s adaptations of both Sappho
>> and Homer:

>>
>>
>>
>> Marnie has published work in the poetry journal *Court Green*, which has
>> also featured asemic comics by Gene Kannenberg, Jr. Editors Tony Trigilio &
>> David Trinidad have been trying to include more comics in the journal since
>> making the shift from being a print to an online publication. Here are the
>> links to those recent issues:

>> You might also enjoy reading Matt Levin's *Walking Man Comics*, which
>> he's been creating since the 1980s. In addition to his poetry
>> comics--created partly with rubber stamps!--he's also done a series of
>> *Musicomics* in which he illustrates his lyrics:

>> And you may also want to read the new collected edition of Katherine
>> Collins's classic series *Neil the Horse*, which not only includes dance
>> sequences (sometimes with Fred Astaire himself) but also passages with
>> original song lyrics being sung by the main characters in the series, Neil,
>> Soapy the Cat, and Mam'selle Poupee, as they "Make the World Safe for
>> Musical Comedy":
