visual cotext

The visual element in a visual poem. (Visual cotext is not text at all but what
the eye makes of the text and the image that accompanies the text.) (This
cotext serves as an interlocutor for the text and might be an image (or
images) within the field of the visual poem. The visual cotext might also be
entirely integrated with the text itself.)
