Nokturno is back from summer holiday! This years fourth issue brings you hand-made visual poetry and poetry videos animated, with music and with sharp social criticism. And, Nokturno.fi, the 2.0 version of Nokturno.org celebrated it\u2019s one year birthday this month!<\/p>\n
Poet also known for aphorisms Virpi Alanen <\/strong>has created a series of four Poetic animals <\/em><\/a>for Nokturno. Alanen\u2019s poems combine visual and textual elements and stem from her poetry blog Peilit<\/em>. Handmade poetic creatures suggest familiar gestures but represent unknown species. Their verses are thick with meaning \u2013 and colors convenient for the time of the year.<\/p>\n Known for their intensive live performances, the duo J.K. Ihalainen <\/strong>and S\u00e1ndor V\u00e1ly <\/strong>combine Ihalainen\u2019s poetry to V\u00e1ly\u2019s music and visual visions. In this issue Nokturno presents a work from their other field of collaboration, video poetry. Eripari-ihmiset<\/i> <\/a>was born in the midst of the refugee crisis in Finland in 2016 and addresses social questions related to the situation.<\/p>\n MEN<\/em><\/a> is a series of headline collages born from Detroit-based, artist and educator Scott Northrup<\/strong>\u2019s long time work with the form. Black and white series explore mascilinity through colliding different discourses. MEN<\/em> is first of two series to be published from Northrup in Nokturno.<\/p>\n Ulla Laisi<\/strong> is a visual artist also working with video poetry. In video poem Morfoosi<\/em><\/a> a character moves around questions of selhood and otherness. Laisi\u2019s animated poetry videos entailing music present a world full of warmth and kindness. Poems Aina kun liikkuu lent\u00e4\u00e4<\/em> and Koivu ja baobab<\/em> <\/a>are also suitable for children.<\/p>\n We received plenty of applications to the first digital residency in fall 2017. Several of the project ideas brought together different art forms and the concept of a virtual residency space invoked open-minded aspirations. The poet-in-residence is now selected, more information soon\u2026<\/p>\n Please continue to send us your digital and experimental poems, or anything poetry related that finds it\u2019s home in the digital world! Deadline for submissions to Nokturno 5-2017 is 6th of October.<\/p>\n (Image from Scott Northrup\u2019s series MEN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nokturno is back from summer holiday!
