FINALLY!

2010-05-24T08:51:00.002-07:00

With the initial print runs of our first two books running out, we are moving to Lightning Source. Maryrose Larkin's THE BOOK OF OCEAN will come into print concurrent with the publication of her second book. Ray Bianchi & Traudi Haas' IMMEDIATE EMPIRE *might* be issued in a bilingual edition (it is coming out in Portugese in Brasil!). Therese Bachand's DAUGHTER OF THE EPHEMERAL WORD is getting laid out now.

What's the hold up? The publisher of course. But we've moved to Adobe Design Studio. What next, Flash?

**New Poetry from i.e. Press**

THE BOOK OF OCEAN
Larkin, Mayrose
$12.95 / PA / 80pp.
ISBN: 978-1-934299-00-5
i.e. Press 2007
Poetry. The first book to surface by Portland-based poet Maryrose
Larkin, THE BOOK OF OCEAN is "informed by a counterpoint between time
& vision"--Andrew Joron. Larkin's delicate, intelligent line is an
enabling environment in which "time conflates" and "language is the
connective by which vastly disparate concepts - love, snow,
mathematics, gravity - flow one to another, reported with meticulous
grace"--Judith Roitman.

The New Talkies:
Portland–San Francisco Neo-Benshi Cabaret

The New Talkies: A Portland-San Francisco Neo-Benshi Cabaret

Inspired by the film-tellers, or benshis, of the silent era in Japan, neo-benshi invites
contemporary artists to turn off the sound and perform their own scripts to brief scenes from films of their choosing. Previous installments of The New Talkies have brought together diverse audiences of poetry, performance, and film fans in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

MARYROSE LARKIN & DONNA STONECIPHER

“Am a detective of tangents,” writes Maryrose Larkin in her new collection, The Book of Ocean ($12.95 i.e. Press). The tangents she discovers – in sound and meaning – make for lyrically inventive poems that awaken both mind and heart. Imagery of the natural world, science, and religion appears in language that is fragmented yet rich, and often richly musical – “I am oxygen sentence a mouthful of mercury / calcium invention of hollow and ocean.” The connection of human perception, of language, to world is a thread throughout – “eye opens the idea of sky,” she suggests in “Prime,” the first poem in the spare and graceful series “Book of Hours.” An acknowledge-ment of loss, too, gently colors the volume – “we are wholly absence swung” – though the poems continually convey engagement and embrace, a desire to “edge / even closer see / inside out.”

Where to find a sample of Maryrose Larkin's work?
