Dona Mayoora, Language Lines & Poetry out now from Timglaset
"Language Lines & Poetry is an epic poem ofcontrol 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. Click here to order Language Lines & Poetry from Timglaset!

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."
—Michael Jacobson, author of Works & Interviews
