issue #18 of buzdokuz is out

The 18th Issue of Buzdokuz Poetry Theory Criticism Magazine is Out Now.

Buzdokuz, which has prepared product-based issues for experimental art/poetry in addition to theoretical files, focused on “asemic”, “glitch”, “language-based art”, and this time on Found Poetry.

Buzdokuz opens with Burak Ş. Çelik‘s introduction, who is the editor of the 18th issue of Buzdokuz.

Next comes the ESC section with examples of Found Poetry. Artists and poets who participated in our Found Poetry file with their works: James Knight + Nilgün Yılmaz + Serdar Süalp + Astra Papachristodoulou + Nur Alan + John M. Bennett + Burak Ş. Çelik + Jeff Nimp + Muhammed Yusuf Aktekin + Işık Sungurlar + Hafize Çetinkaya + Mert Özden + Ayşe Kongur + Jim Leftwich + Laura Kerr + Stathis Dimitriadis.

Rafet Arslan, Laura Kerr, Marco Giovenale, John M. Bennett, Alper Aydın and Jeff Nimp join our Found Poetry inquiry in the INSERT section with their responses. Hakan Şarkdemir discusses the theoretical and political aspects of the concept of “Found” in his article titled “Did the train run away? On Found Poetry”.
