| And Still, the Navigators... | J.Karl Bogartte | What images germinate between the real and the imaginary? And Still The Navigators... is a book-length random sequence of prose poems/aphorisms that explore the sense of a deeper space, a primal fascination with language to the point of unsettling discovery. Situated between exterior and interior, and often blending into a metamorphic landscape for a more inclusive reality. "Grace is the art of luring ravenous dogs into a state of springtime."

| Mythologies | J.Karl Bogartte | Mythologies is a book of mysterious transformations, between the real and the imaginary. A contemporary surrealism, steeped in myth and the marvelous, to reveal what is only glimpsed in dreams. These images are the result of a descent into the unknown domain of a purely automatic exploration. Images that are inspired by the occult, alchemy, magic and sexuality joined in the always intoxicating realm of the Royal Art of the alchemical wedding. With Introduction and Preface by Leon Marvel and Jon E. Graham.

| The Spindle's Arch | J.Karl Bogartte | A sequence of poetic fragments, unexpected gestures of consciousness. These notes are the "visible invisibilities" of sudden confrontations between what language can clarify and what it cannot, when the mind confronts itself through the imagination... when the imagination forms the body of many dimensions coming together at the point of no return. "And your veins filled with panther dust."

| The Mirror Held Up in Darkness | J. Karl Bogartte | "A surrealist edition in every sense of the word, these early poems radiate with the surréalité of a midnight stroll, of a reconnaissance fueled and inspired by the spector of consciousness undergoing metamorphose, in broad daylight! Playful in a sense of wonder and exaltation, as if often grasping for just the right words; erotic in spirit, seeking the glow of sensuous experimentation and discovery; crystal clear in words that betray the mystery of a dark and mysteriously unfolding world just beneath the surface of ordinary reality..." - Arthur Koenig

Following in the traditions and legacies of the surrealists, this a collection of prose poems celebrating both love and conspiracy, eroticism and revolt in the ferment of a dialectical forge." - Arthur Koenig

A selection of images exploring the drama play of objects and model, the interaction of the female form and persona with her environment.

| Excavations | Richard Misiano-Genovese | Excavations are collages made using a method developed in 1985 by Richard Misiano-Genovese, in which pictures or images are glued together in layers, and then a layer or layers are ripped in places, revealing the underlying image. "One may at first think that Misiano-Genovese invites us to the questionable pleasures of vandalism. But that’s not the case. [...] Because when looking closer, one reaches the evidence that what is violent and destructive in Misiano-Genovese’s art always finally reverses itself in a shimmering of innocence. In the depths of his tearings, how devouring and raging they may be - and are - always the silky shadow of a dawn is passing." - P. Petiot

| Masques 1985 | Richard Misiano-Genovese | The masque is an oneiric object. As much, it is the objectification not so much of a dream as of what Sigmund Freud called the dream work. It marks the welling up in conciousness of liberative forces that have succeeded in evading inhibitve censorship of the creative impulse." — JH Matthews.
