Line
Vocabulary, is a new book of poems and images by Arild
Vange and Per Formo translated from Norwegian by Neil Davidson.
This new book plays with a series of tactile,
erotic encounters between figures, submarines, economics, plants and movements.
It frames his writing in a tightly constrained format where tiny fragments
pattern two broad forms: firstly, of expansion and contraction through nine
letters of the alphabet in relation to vertical forms, standing figures; and
secondly through a series of almost pastoral, horizon based accumulations of
images. The poems were written in response to Per Formo’s digital drawings and
vice versa; the constraints employed in the construction of the images being
echoed in the constraints used in the writing process: syllables, letters,
number of lines etc.
