š! #18 Poetry Reviews

  • Rick Ray

    š! #18 applies the theme of "Poetry" for this anthology of short comics. It works well as comics designed for anthologies tend to require succinctness, and utilizing the ethereal nature of poetic prose allows for loosely structured visual narratives. This issue of š! is one of my favorites since it seems most contributors really understood the assignment. Some favorites in this issue include Lote Vilma Vītiņa's and Kārlis Vērdiņš' "Icebreakers", Dunja Janković's "Effects" and Theo Ellsworth's "Psychedelic Poetry Hour".

    But the two mains standouts were "Spring Waters" by Nicolas Zouliamis and "Perils" by Evie Chair. "Spring Waters" is inspired by Vilhelms Purvītis's painting of the same name as it cultivates a hallucinogenic narrative about a camping trip that is incredibly visually striking. "Perils" is a silent piece about a girl getting ready for her day - there's nothing else to it but Chair's illustrative prowess is unparalleled here.

    I know that kuš! uses new themes for each issue of š!, but I do think "Poetry" is something worth revisiting again since I'm sure there are many other cartoonists who would be able to contribute more great works fitting the theme.
