Misleading statement about "written poetry"

The article claims that "Unlike written poetry, the poetic text takes its quality less from the visual aesthetics on a page, but depends more on phonaesthetics, or the aesthetics of sound."

This is misleading: it sounds like it is saying that written poetry depends more on its visual aspects than how it sounds (or its 'phonaesthetics') which isn't true. Very little poetry relies primarily on its visual aspect (namely Concrete Poetry), and the majority of written poetry isn't very concerned at all with its visual aspects. Almost all poetry is, however, concerned with its sound, often primarily. Spareraze (talk) 18:13, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
