His "untitled (for Natalee and Jeremy)," produced for two of his friends, is either a visual poetry epithalamium or simply a joyous celebration of the physical beauties of lettershape and writing. The resulting poem, which is created with press-on type, gains most of its effects from the repetition of identical letters, visual poetry's equivalent to rhyme, consonance, and assonance.—Geof Huth Source : http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poem/182400 “Gymnasio Epanomis” Liceo "Eleonora d'Arborea" “Irungo La Salle” Epanomi, GREECE Cagliari, ITALY Irun (Gipuzkoa)-SPAIN Mediterranean School Magazine 3 Academic Year 2011-2012 Contents Editorial Main topic, Poets & Poetry AND EVEN MORE Schools news Focus on Europe The world of young people Literature Culture I liked it Fun Artwork “Gymnasio Epanomis” Liceo "Eleonora d'Arborea" “Irungo La Salle” Epanomi, GREECE Cagliari, ITALY Irun (Gipuzkoa)-SPAIN Mediterranean School Magazine 4 Academic Year 2011-2012 Editorial Indeed, time flies …..

It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before” What is it? But what else than… Poets and Poetry in Music. But why poetry? Perhaps we should let the poets themselves answer the question. Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself William Hazlitt Poetry is a search for ways of communication; it must be conducted with openness, flexibility, and a constant readiness to listen. Fleur Adcock Poetry is at least elegance and at most a revelation. Robert Fitzgerald. All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity. William Wordsworth We congratulate all the Greek, Italian and Spanish students who took part in our third issue and wish you all to enjoy every part of it. “Gymnasio Epanomis” ,Greece Liceo "Eleonora d'Arborea" Cagliari, Italy Maria Passa , English Language Teacher Giuseppe Maria Gurrieri, English Language Teacher Dimitris Tsioptsias , ICT Teacher Irungo La Salle Irun (Gipuzkoa)-Spain Yolanda Domínguez, English Language Teacher “Gymnasio Epanomis” Liceo "Eleonora d'Arborea" “Irungo La Salle” Epanomi, GREECE Cagliari, ITALY Irun (Gipuzkoa)-SPAIN Mediterranean School Magazine 5 Academic Year 2011-2012 Poets & Poetry …and even more Spanish Poetry Granada In the past, a poem was any literature Granada, Elvira street, composition.
