My recent kinetic poem 'As Above' is featured in Issue #8 of the Surrealist Journal, Peculiar Mormyrid #8.
The poem maps the correlation extreme phenomena has to the unreliability of perception as it plays to one's emotional state.

Jack Bruce ~ One
#JackBruce

Even in the grip of heroin addiction, Bruce was able to create an incredibly focused masterpiece in Out of the Storm. One's complex chord structure and Bruce's soaring vocals that build to an amazing crescendo is something to behold.

Jim Jarmusch’s Collages
(Luc Sante - The Paris Review)
#JimJarmusch #Collage

Jim Jarmusch’s small, eerie collages are all about faces. And about the bodies attached to those faces. And about what happens when faces get switched off onto other bodies.

Jim Jarmusch’s Collages by Lucy Sante
September 7, 2021 – “You could say that Jarmusch, ever the director, is engaging in exploratory casting,” writes Lucy Sante in her foreword to a new collection of Jim Jarmusch’s collages.

I saw the Warhol Screen test show they did at BAM that also featured Tom Verlaine and Bradford Cox of Deerhunter, among others, adding their own soundtracks to the films. Outstanding!

illustration of Welsh supernatural author & mystic the great Arthur Machen (1863-1947) who was an influence on Lovecraft & whose work has never been equaled for its uncanny transcendence. The Fall's Mark E. Smith was also a fan of the man who wrote 'The Great God Pan.' (art Smoky Man)

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
