Richard Kostelanetz is a polyartist who approaches the written word with a spirit of unorthodox invention.Transimations : A Poetry-Film Storyboard is a collection of poems that could be referred to as concrete poetry, word images or visual language. In this case, Kostelanetz draws inspiration from storyboarding.
Kostelenetz was a practitioner of this aesthetic movement in poetry, in which the “writer” abandons the linear arrangement of words for a greater emphasis on the organization of space, and the use of the word not only for conventional purposes of meaning but also as a plastic entity, to be sculpted, sounded and taken in through the eyes and ears.
