Having a deep interest in the visual arts, poet Stanton, in Collected Word Paintings, sees his poetic work in relation to four of the major art movements of the Twentieth Century: Impressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Art, and Expressionism. Thus, he has prepared four major "galleries" for us to view his word paintings. The first gallery shows us impressionistic portraits, self-portraits, landscapes, and vivid images of various scenes of everyday events and activities. The second gallery is filled with strange and sometimes playful "brainscapes" (as opposed to impressionistic landscapes and seascapes). The third gallery contains abstract mood poetry revealing exotic, unexpected symbols and a variety of musical rhythms. The final gallery is made up completely of dramatic monologues, often employed for satiric purposes.

"The poems in Collected Word Paintings are fun, quizzical, amusing, and thought-provoking...Stanton exhibits his great mastery with ordinary words." -- First Coast Entertainer, December 16, 2000
