I always love reading people’s Wikipedia Trails posts, because it’s a ton of fun to see the leaps they make from one subject to the next. While I’ve typically never been a big poetry person, I’ve also never been introduced to visual poetry until now, and the example that you shared here is amazing. I’ll definitely have to look up some more examples.
