Morphology by Ruth Lepson & Walter Crump
PoetryIn the first image of Ruth Lepson and Walter Crump’s Morphology, the eye follows train tracks into a distant background of earth-meets-sky, the sky a near circle of light, presenting at the same time an enclosure and an eternity. The first text suggests a linkage of thinking and seeing: if I think it, it appears. This book is magic. I want to read it a thousand times. - Charles Alexander$18.00 -

SHE, A BLUEPRINT by Michelle Naka Pierce and Sue Hammond West
PoetryIt is an ekphrasis of the female form, one which writes a woman into being where the woman cannot be. It is a reverse-ekphrasis of the formal female, one which images what might be a woman were woman not imagined. Pierce and Hammond West’s She, a Blueprint underscores that every grid is someone’s narrative, and there is only necessity in the thrust of us. —Vanessa Place -

It's such a winning work of word art in its modernist and pomo impulses that it seems it should have already been with us for decades, like the recently discovered experiment of a lost Oulipo genius. —Ted Pelton$16.00 -
