Dona Mayoora, Language Lines & Poetry out now from Timglaset
"Language Lines & Poetry is an epic poem of control and release." —Amanda Earl "This is an irresistible vispo grimoire for the curious eyes." —Gary Barwin "You will find yourself face to face with one of the most inventive visual poets today showing you exactly how gesture, stroke, and rule become language, become speech, become poetry." —Gregory Betts
Language Lines & Poetry is Dona Mayoora's long awaited
follow up to Listening to Red. In this book Mayoora further explores the
geometry of language, how lines and shapes can be juxtaposed to form or escape meaning. Her poetic mind is evident in every one of these works, many reminiscent of constructivist drawings, but sprung from the same source as her asemic poetry. Timglaset is proud to once again be trusted to publish Dona Mayoora's outstanding visual work.

Sentiments by Ragnhild Christiansen is available now from Non Plus Ultra
"In Sentiments the reader
encounters powerful bodies of asemic scripture, that exist in a breath and dance
of linear lively resuscitation, and dark gestural fascination. In this book one
encounters Ragnhild Christiansen’s living hand that tears open raw, with brush
and ink, the veil of a glorious creative mind. We are gifted shards of a calligraphic
ecosystem dwelling in the mouth of a tiger hang gliding off cliffs of scribal
dreaming. In this vision before us are lain deep charcoal tracks on the snowy white
page. We are left hunting the action of a crow that has already taken flight
after laying down its black bitumen. Natural deep expression rises again to
acknowledge scraps of linguistic survival torn open on the pages of an
absolutely great book."
