A good poem should be visual
Lorca knew this and Allen Ginsberg
Pere Gimferrer thought so too
Not to mention William Carlos Williams
with the red wheelbarrow and white chickens
and the purple striped nightgowns imagined by Wallace Stevens
I think Baudelaire had a strong visual imagination too
But I do not
Is sight more important than sound, for poems?
