In the process of constant beginnings and endless returns, human consciousness remains the interstitial point at which madness touches reality, despite progress's relative acceleration, stagnation, deceleration. The moon pulls tides. Light requires form to cast a shadow. At the outset, a wave is a thing and an act. Like poetry and painting, there is a principle of similarity, made and unmade by \u003ci\u003eexpression\u003c\/i\u003e. The wave is a threshold between construction and deconstruction, calm and chaos, the making and unmaking of the world\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Is the gesture a 'hello' or 'goodbye?' Depiction\/painting, and portrayal\/poetry are modulated across the sixty-plus pages of this issue. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe at Laughing Ronin Press encourage the reader to measure the degree and the nature of kinship between our timeless sisters, Painting and Poetry. Even before Horace laid down his \u003ci\u003eArs Poetica \u003c\/i\u003ein c. 19 BC, Simonides of Keos famously uttered \"Poema pictura loquens, pictura poema silens\" (poetry is a speaking picture, painting a silent [mute] poetry). Poems, \u003ci\u003eimaginative texts\u003c\/i\u003e, are latent things until they are activated by a reader's attentive exposition (interpreting, seeing). A poem is a picture that begs to be read. Waves swell and break, trees fall in forests, regardless of witness, again and again and so on... Poets and painters give time and edge to living as constant becoming. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwenty-eight contributors flood Linked Verse, Issue 002 to form a handbook for the imitation of nature. Welcome to a new year, a new issue, a devotional gesture surfing the tidal streams of Horace's famous analogy \u003ci\u003eUt pictura poesis\u003c\/i\u003e, \"as is painting so is poetry.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChelsea Rector\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerard Sarnat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798876893963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.13d","brand":"Gerard Sarnat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852209795327,"sku":"9798876893963","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/linked-verse-issue-002-gerard-sarnat-9798876893963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
