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."

Paperback, 98 Pages

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.

Antibodies


A surrealist novella, in 22 chapters, as a vague analogy to the 22 cards of the Major Arcanum of the Tarot, but more related to an unsolvable mystery. Recorded in the midst of exploration of that "vantage point" in the mind where the real and the imaginary "cease to be perceived as contradiction."
English and French texts, side by side, with an afterword by the translator,
Jean-Pierre Depetris.

couverture aure


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."
