Consider these suggestions to Uma Krishnaswami on her art and poetry project. They were proffered by Daniel Kane of writenet.

"Check out The Dada and Surrealist Word-Inage by Judi Freeman (checked at Amazon.com - out of print, jeanne) for additional ideas.  Also, while "academic" in tone, you might get something out of Marjorie Perloff's "Frank O'Hara -- Poet Among Painters."  Robert Motherwell's book on DADA is wonderful -- Kenneth Patchen has many books combining word and image - painters including Norman Bluhm did collaborative poem/paintings with poets like Frank O'Hara.

Poets also write about painting, especially John Ashbery and Frank O'Hara -- you can look up articles in old issues of ART NEWS (James Schuyler also contributed to this).

Reva Wolf's book on Andy Warhol and poetry coming out of Manhattan's lower east side during the 1960's also has some info on this subject. . . . this is just the tip of the iceboig, like they say."
