I’ll start off by saying that before reading this essay I
thought of this the comic assignment as just making a comic that has something
to do with the Prose/Poetry small work. But this part of the essay:
“Comics poetry should balance
freight between image and words. These elements are only doing work if they’re
changing each other. Duplication is deadweight.”
made me think about if my comic will add anything to my poem
[and vice versa] or if I was headed in a direction where my comic would just be
a “copy” of my poem.
So I am a big fan of comics and even dabble in making comics
myself. When it comes to poetry, I don’t really read much of them or take part
in writing them but I can appreciate them. With those two things being said, it
was interesting to see Rothman’s definition of both poetry and comics. Plus I
guess I can toss in his definition of comics poetry too because before we got
into this topic I’ve never heard of comics poetry. Also I appreciate how
Rothman gave light to what comics, poetry, and comics poetry are and the
different aspects of them while at the same time leaving everything open to
more input.
