Poets/writers/artists have said these things about mine and Julia Rose Lewis's new collaborative book, POSTCARDS FROM MENTAL STATES to be published by Hesterglock Press, March 31. |

“A collection of city scenes at once familiar and alien, out of focus and timeless, they capture the madness and the frenetic pace of a city’s wonder and menace all at once”
- Len Germinara
“The pages leap forward in the day-glo static of thought and collaboration, of conversation and creation; processing the overwhelming influx of information into a suite of captivating 21st-Century thought balloons.”
- Derek Beaulieu
“Here's a collaboration of extraordinary power value love sight poetry for you to see and read, to resee, that will be your eye for you. It's also beautiful, and off. It's better. Get this and you can't complain."
- SJ Fowler
“I loved how poetics are seemingly grown within this delicate and coherent work that enabled To undergo me complete rewiring of the Arc(hive)s”
- Rushika Wick
“When you add an oblique caption to an altered image, you add another degree of alterity. These Postcards give me a sense of a self split into a little bit here and a little bit there and a little bit elsewhere at the same time.”
- Tim Gaze
“The words read like intercepted communiques, warped Zen Koans or the contents of dystopian fortune cookies. Put together, they frame a microworld of elliptical unease, conjured by the alchemical negative gravity of two writers and artists at the top of their game.”
