Our fourth issue of the year includes, among others, video poetry from three poets, found poetry straight from the streets of Turku and a series of asemic poetry. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jim Andrews<\/strong> has created a new tool for visual poetry, Aleph Null<\/em><\/a>. With Aleph Null<\/em> anyone can create new works of visual poetry. With it Andrews has expanded in a fascinating way the way in which we can view familiar works of poets like Jim Leftwich<\/strong>, Dan Waber<\/strong> and Niko Vassilakis<\/strong>. Dirtee konkreet<\/a> <\/em>is an extensive work of Aleph Null<\/em> \u201dchewing on\u201d (as Andrews puts it) Canadian poet bill bissett<\/strong>\u2019s work. Nokturno is glad to present both Aleph Null<\/em> and the dirtee konkreet<\/em> project.<\/p>\n

Juha Kulmala<\/strong> is known for addressing societal questions in his poetry. Now Kulmala steps into a new territory of video poetry. Low-fi aesthetics, psychedelic spheres, bright colors and various effects altering mediated perception are all combined in these three videos, M\u00e4t\u00e4kuu<\/em>, Kes\u00e4kuu<\/em> and Family Butcher<\/em><\/a> that have their first screening in this issue of Nokturno.<\/p>\n

Tuija V\u00e4lipakka<\/strong> and Mikaela V\u00e4lipakka<\/strong> have continued their collaboration in video poetry, now in the form of Flash videos published on Instagram. This time the result is three quick audiovisual visits<\/a> to the landscapes of melancholy and urban alienation. V\u00e4lipakkas\u00b4s Flash poems show that in order to work in the channels of social media poetry doesn\u00b4t have to be simple or fast food like.<\/p>\n

Karri Kokko<\/strong>\u00b4s asemic poetry series Minuuttiharjoituksia<\/em><\/a> consists of ten works. Kokko\u00b4s asemic work can also be found in the latest issue of Tuli&Savu<\/em> poetry magazine. Inspired by calligraphy Kokko\u00b4s digital brush takes a strong hold of the white page.<\/p>\n

Meeri Marjomaa-Jaakkola<\/strong> makes her debut in Nokturno with video poem Min\u00e4, Nemesis<\/em><\/a>. The black and white video takes its viewer to abandoned and secluded places in the city. As the poem\u00b4s title (I, Nemesis) suggests, the I of Marjomaa-Jaakkola\u00b4s poem is twofold. Timo Salo<\/strong>\u00b4s anagram \u00e9tude Ajatus\u00e4\u00e4net (tuhoisan h\u00e4\u00e4matkan ajattelua)<\/em><\/a> has seven voices and each of them have their own constraints and obsessions in the rhythmically hectic collage at Nokturno. Einari Aaltonen<\/strong> is a translator who this summer began with a found poetry project. The pavement blocks of Katulaatat <\/em><\/a>have originally been published in Facebook but now they\u00b4ve found their place at Nokturno. The talking pavement blocks have a lot to say, especially about the society, feelings and culture.<\/p>\n

And last but not least we present the two procedural sound poems by Diliana Stoyanova<\/strong>. Poems Romance<\/em> and Find Kindness<\/em><\/a> are based on results of Google searches. Stoyanova appeared also in our last issue as one of the poets in Sound Poetry Night.<\/p>\n

The next issue of Nokturno will be curated by the former long time editor in chief of Nokturno Marko Niemi<\/strong>. But before that, next week, we\u00b4re glad to make a side-step to the field of prose fiction with Markku Eskelinen<\/strong>\u00b4s and Maria Marinmikko<\/strong>\u00b4s extensive digital prose piece L\u00e4hes tunnistamaton mahdollisuus menett\u00e4\u00e4<\/em>. Stay tuned also for the announcement of our Poet-in-Digital-Residence for this Fall.<\/p>\n

Send us your poems or anything poetry related that finds its home in the digital world! Deadline for next issue 17th of November and the email is toimitus@nokturno.fi.<\/p>\n
