 Item
Identifier: CC-54867-990296
Scope and Contents On the back cover and internet, it is stated that he was born in 1942 in Torino where he still lives. During the 80's he began working on Visual and Sound Poetry and, at the same time, started doing performances usually with Carla Bertola, working on the idea of "Stagepoetry actions". He performed widely in Italy and different countries. In Visual Poetry he usually works on collages following a personal technique obtaining color from the surface of paper, a procedure he called "pulling up"; recently he is using blowing up from fragments passing through photos and then laser copies. He has taken part in many exhibitions in Italy and abroad. Since 1978 he is co-editor of the International Poetry Magazine Offerta Speciale.

Letters are important for their graphical form but...

This is Visual Poetry. No.74/Mar / Roman Pyrih., 2012

 Item
Identifier: CC-55654-9999254
Scope and Contents Roman Pyrih is a Ukrainian poet born in 1977. Roman says: "Yurai is Ukrainian poet-palindromist, diplomat and humble student of ancient knowledge. "His experiments with palindromes were inspired and heavily based on Ukrainian palindrome tradition dating back to the texts of mystic Kyiv poet of the XVII century Ivan Velychkovskyi , who is also considered grand contributor to the development of Ukrainian visual poetry. In XX century Ukrainian palindrome was greatly invigorated and brought to a new level by outstanding efforts of renowned masters -- Ivan Iov, Ivan Luchuk, Nazar Gonchar and others. "What distinguishes Yurai's creations is that he gradually departed from palindrome as a text and visualized it as a graphic artwork. This was a natural drift, manifested at first as side effect of illustrating palindrome poems, and gradually evolved into self-sufficient art. This mirroring fusion of symbol, meaning and their graphic interpretation is aimed to complete restless sensory quest...

What's most important to me as I construct a visual poem is that it shows intention, that I am saying, "Here we are.'" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

Until this year, all of the versions have been textual only, though all of them have been quite experimental in terms of formatting. It finally occurred to me that the very subject matter of the sequence demanded an even more radical visual presentation. Perhaps radical musicality is...

Growing up, I had an interest in both anatomy & the arts. This is a collection that overlaps those interests on the page as field/canvas. Found scraps, old photographs, medical illustrations & texts overlap & intertwine to create these verbo-visual anatomical landscapes. We speak with our bodies; here the silent/still images speak back to us. Andrew Topol has identified himself as the author/artist of this book using his mother's maiden name and photograph. Topol is planning to create different style works using new nom de plumes. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
