poeMvelopes

An art object consisting of a visual poem applied by Joel Lipman to the back
of an envelope via rubberstamping and usually distributed as a piece of mail
art; sobrepoema (Spanish). (And these poeMvelopes are wonders in small
packages. Joel is one of the masters of modern rubberstamping art, and he
can squeeze onto the back of a tiny envelope (size 6 or 6 ¾) amazing little
visual poems: tiny narratives, concrete poems, visual pwoermds, semi-
abstract wordart, miniature placard poems.)
