[ART JOURNA] : Unravel the rebus

Mark Caltonhill’s visual couplets are a playful take on a traditional literary form

By Noah Buchan  /  STAFF REPORTER

Although the “lyrics” are written in Chinese, the visual music reveals a playful understanding of a traditional poetic form that rewards repeated viewing.

Those wishing to submit poetry, lyrics or verse to Caltonhill’s publishing company JiYue Publications (霽月出版社), which he established as a result of his “frustrations trying to get books published in Taiwan and the similar experiences of other writers,” should send submissions to jiyue.publications@gmail.com.
