Biography
Rochallyi was born in Bardejov, Czechoslovakia in a family with Lemko and Hungarian roots.[3][4] He start reading even before started primary school. The first book he read was the book Black Ships by Maciej Słomczyński. Around his eight years, he came across Lermontov's poems. Rochallyi started writing poetry as a ten-year-old, and he published own works in magazines from the age of sixteen.[1][5][6] The Author graduated in Management at the London International Graduate School and holds a certificate in Fine arts, which he received at the Pratt Institute.[7][8] He also studied philosophy, and mathematics (linear algebra). [9] He is a member of Mensa.[5][6]
Writing
Rochallyi is the author of fifteen books. He writes in Slovak, Czech,[10][11] English and German.[12][13] He debuted with the collection of poetry Panoptikum: Haikai no renga (2004), written in Japanese haiku.[6]
According to Jan Balaz, the poetry of Radoslav Rochally is characterized by the use of a free verse, which gives the author the necessary freedom and directness to retain the specific nature of the testimony without embellishments.[14] His book Mythra Invictus has received a positive reception.[15][16]
According to Lenka Vrebl, the perception of Radoslav Rochallyi is not playful, it is serious, direct and focused.[17]
In the DNA-Canvases of Poetry collection he uses mathematical equations to express his poetry.[18] In addition to his book, poetic equations have also been published in many anthologies and journals. For example, in anthologies and journals published at Stanford University,[19] California State University,[20] Utah Tech University,[21] Olivet College,[22] or Las Positas College.[23]
In the Punch collection, he uses poems based on mathematics, especially on mathematical equations. Both the texts and the equations are based on the author's need to divide the text into a semantically and formally clear form. This work does not belong to concrete, pattern, graphic, code, FIB, or visual poetry. It is an alternative approach to creation.[24][1] Poetic equations from the Punch collection was reviewed and published in journals.[25][9] [26][27]
By Andrea Schmidt Rochallyi be able to find a bearable relationship between the mathematical formalism and freedom. Schmidt argues that his poetry is a critique of semantics and language as such. Schmidt, in a review in the Rain Taxi, writes that PUNCH can be considered one of the most important works of experimental poetry in the last decade.[28] Later, journal Dunes Review published his poem written in a geometric plotter.[29]
Steven J Fowler in an annotation to the book # Mathaeata wrote that Rochallyi builds poetry in mathematical terms, situating a droll humour laced with Nietzchean declaration within the context of brilliantly innovative visual design.[30]
Writing style and philosophy
His work includes mainly philosophy, visual arts, and poetry, while linking each of these elements with mathematical symbols. Rochallyi 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 whose semantics are easier or more effective to express in non-verbal form.[31]
In the field of philosophy, he was influenced by the work of physicist Max Tegmark and mathematician G. H. Hardy. In the field of creation, he was shaped by the works of early experimental avant-garde artists (painters and poets).[32]
In the French magazine Recours au poème n ° 212, Rochally's philosophy of creation is described as mathematical determinism.[33] In an interview in the literary magazine Tiny spoon, he claims that all the free decisions we have made and will make are determined by the mathematical nature of reality. Art and unconditional love are the only ways to turn your back on determinism, at least for a while.[34]
Golden Ratio Poetry
Rochallyi used an experimental poetic form of the golden ratio around 2012.[35] It follows a strict structure based on the golden number 1.618033 in syllables. Typically represented in the form of six lines, 1/6/1/8 / (0) / 3/3 - with so many words or syllables on the line that correspond to the golden number. The only limitation of poetry according to the golden number is the number of words or syllables followed by the sequence number 1.618033. The Greek letter Phi represents the golden ratio. Its value is 1.618034. In Golden Divine collection (2015), he tried to link poetry with Fi (φ) and hence the number 1,618034 in non-graphical form and with a golden section in its graphic form.[36] Schmidt argues that his Golden Divine is a prototype of formal fundamentalism in poetry, employing a restriction according to the Greek letter phi.[28] The only limitation of "Golden Ratio Poetry" is that the number of words or syllables follows the sequence of digits in 1.618034.
Equation Poetry
Equation Poetry uses mathematical language as an organizational principle and at the same time uses mathematical symbols to describe intonation notation (for example, nervous³), or to define various types of specifications that are simpler or more efficient to express in non-text form. In Acta Victoriana Rochallyi claims that every formal rule in poetry is a mathematical rule.[37] This restriction defines the form of poetry. Hence, it can be said that (almost) no form of poetry can do without mathematics.[38] In the Author's Note in Roanoke Review he mentioned that they both have symbolism, algorithmic basis, structures, formulas, and symmetry. Combining the two is completely natural, as is reading and studying their patterns.[39]
Rochallyi claim that the ambition of Equation Poetry should not be to preserve the meaning of the equation, but to preserve the form, formula and symmetry as accurately as possible.[40] Preserving its full meaning would define the content of poetry and not just form. In such a case, we would not even be making poetry because the resulting poem would be a cluster of precisely positioned words, but without the general meaning. And we wouldn't be creating anything mathematical either; the resulting equation would simply not make sense.[41]
According to Rochallyi's article in The Minnesota Review, Equation Poetry is characterized by a greater freedom of writing, or at least the possibility of choosing the equations used, which in itself defines the freedom of its creation. And this is a freedom much greater than that provided by most of the strict structural forms.[42]
Vector Poetry
For Rochallyi, 2022 and 2023 are the years of answering whether vector poetry can provide an extended visual interpretation of the language unavailable through traditional notation and interpretation. The combination of time, space, movement, and direction can expand all aspects of a text and its meaning. His endeavor aims to investigate the semantics/semiotics of vectors in poetry as a response to the problem of creating meaningful patterns. Rochallyi believe that Vectors can be used to create a sense of movement in a poem. For example, words can flow smoothly from one to another, creating a sense of rhythm and movement. It can add another layer of meaning to the poem and make it more interesting to explore.[34][43] Vector Poetry replaces words or partial phrases with vectors. In vector poetry, words are arranged in a specific way to visually represent the poem's meaning. Just as a vector is defined by its direction and length, each word or sentence is represented by a line that points in a particular direction and has a certain length. Vector poetry is a form of mathematical expressionism in art. It can capture words, emotions, movement, and location.[44] In an essay entitled Classification of Mathematical Poetry in Hyperrhiz Journal, Rochallyi described vector poetry as a method of creating poetry and vectorizing poetry through vector space-VSP. His vector poetry captures states, space, and time to showcase a concise but poetic expression.[45][46] It achieves an emotional effect by moving a word or phrase across a grid of vector space, creating a visual and especially emotional effect, or by using mathematical equations to create shapes and movements.[47]
