n°71

The Japanese poet and artist Gozo Yoshimasu, born on February 22, 1939, in Tokyo, takes over issue 71 of the journal le point d’ironie with works from his masterful series Dear Monster.

This project takes the form of a complex poetic cartography. On these pages, Yoshimasu saturates the space with dense handwritten script, intertwined with paint and colored traces. His artistic gesture transforms the paper medium into a sculptural object where text becomes a vibrant visual matter. By manipulating this ephemeral format unique to the journal, he invites the reader into a tactile and immersive experience. The work bears witness to his spiritual quest and his constant dialogue with the invisible and memory. Published in May 2026, this issue offers a fascinating glimpse into his universe where poetry is not only read but contemplated.
