The Competences of a Visual Poet

via Bob Grumman's po-X-cetera

First off, I'd divide Geof's "painter's palette" into three "sub-palettes," one for competence with color; one for competence with shapes; and one for competence with texture, or the way the paint acts as a material, or the canvas or equivalent of the canvas or whatever. I would consider each of these more important, by quite a lot, than the "printer's fist."
