Three Poems by Radoslav Rochallyi
/So save me
Terrible
The black void of space
Author’s Note: Equation Poetry uses mathematical language as an organizational principle and at the same time uses mathematical symbols to describe intonation notation, or to define various types of specifications that are simpler or more efficient to express in non-text form. Mathematics and poetry work with symbolism, algorithmic basis, structures, formulas and symmetry. Comparable requirements apply to reading mathematical and poetic patterns.
At first glance, my poetry looks like a visual creation. But this is by no means an asemic writing or Dada. Every comma in my poetry equations makes sense. I try to combine mathematical formulas and equations, which I consider almost perfect, with my thoughts and feelings. In my opinion, art should be a razor blade, which cuts the reader's perception into thousands of pieces. And it should at least take readers out of "Heidegger's daily life" for a while.
Before the poetry of equations, I was fascinated by the Golden Section. In the collection of mathematical poetry Golden Divine, I tried to connect poetry with Fi (φ), and thus with the number 1 61 8034 in non-graphic form and with the golden section in its graphic form. I called this poetry "Golden Ratio Poetry.”
