This is Visual Poetry. No.28/Apr / Yrik Max Valentonis., 2010

 Item
Identifier: CC-51968-73070
Scope and Contents

On the back cover and internet, it is stated that Yrik Max Valentonis is a writer and cartoonist who wanders through the urban landscape seeking out fairy circles.

He has edited more than ten books and co-produced three audio books, several pro bono for non-profit organizations. He sporadically works on an on-going project of recasting his early 1990s illustrations into what he calls Linearte Poems. Desmond says: "In 2005, I subjected myself to several bouts of binge drinking to achieve more authentic streams of consciousness. Fragments written during that time appear in these images, which cast the poetic line against the geometric. There are allusions to drip painting but made angular and planar....
