Tantra really encourages people to consider buying her art books. "I put so much effort, not to mention money and time, into making my art available in an affordable consoladated format, liminal art, ineffable, enigmantic, abstract but suggestive of the natural world, doorways, tunnels of enlightenment, furry entities, lit up consciousness, portals to other parts of the self beyond the rational conscious beta brainwave mind."
- Tantra has art accepted to CameraArts Showcase Edition, a big deal book.
- Tantra's art is showing regularly at Aspect Gallery in San Francisco.
- Rose and Thorn Magazine nominated Tantra's poem Meditation on the Breath for the Pushcart Prize.

| "In an expansive milieu of sound poets and their retinue of aural encomiums that ring with tired anomie or just flat concepts, the aural ebullience of that powerful duo - the legendary Penn Kemp and the musical interludic freshness of Chris Meloche - capture and hold us by both ears. Very rarely do collaborations of this sort outlast the scope of the limited borders set around a single project, but the vivacious and vibrant continuity of this pairing has the distinct quality of crossover enhancement and complementarity that one may fain to declare, despite our weary Gen-X solicitude, visionary, a veritable cathedral of sound and word collage that harmoniously weaves together into scrumptious ear candy."

Filled with edgy and formally innovative work, the latest issue of The Mad Hatters’ Review is a treat for readers of fiction, comics, and poetry alike. Many of the works included in this issue are difficult to classify as “prose poetry,” “short story,” or “flash fiction,” but instead play by their own rules, often gleaning aspects of multiple genres. Custom artwork and songs are included with each piece and initiate an interesting dialogue between different artistic disciplines, proving to be a striking way to present visual art, musical compositions, and literature to readers. In abandoning these traditional distinctions, The Mad Hatters’ Review provides a unique forum for writers to experiment with form, narrative, and the relationship between text and other mediums.

Lewis Carroll, patron saint of the unsaintly and unpatronized, in bestowing such idiosyncratic mirth to the Hatter's position at the tea party, sets the parameters for Mad Hatters' Review and its Internet and Outernet world. Adorned with Carroll's 19th century vision of the demented hatter as "victim of mercury poisoning" (the poor, working-class hatter "worked with hot solutions of mercuric nitrate, in poorly ventilated rooms"), the Review makes contemporary and metaphorical the plight of the hatters, who suffered "neurological damage, resulting in such symptoms as tremors, slurred speech, irritability, and depression." This enfolding of legacy bestows Mad Hatters' Review with a new canon particularly interested, as publisher Carol Novack says,
"in edgy, experimental, gutsy, thematically broad (i.e., saying something about the world and its creatures), psychologically and philosophically sophisticated writings."

Work of the Day - A Poor Excuse for a Widow by Juan Jose Millas, translated by Peter Robertson.
A Poor Excuse for a Widow, by Juan Jose Millas, and translated (from the Spanish) by Peter Robertson, can be found in the most recent issue of Mad Hatter's Review. And not only is it there for your reading pleasure, but when you go to the site, there is instrumental music by Guthrie Lowe and art by Peter Schwartz, which only enhances the reading pleasure.
An interesting story from the viewpoint of a widow, and one for less than a year, as the new year is ringing in and she remembers performing a certain ceremony with her husband the previous year. The story deals with grief, lonliness, and self-introspection in interesting ways. It ends:
"The next day, with dawn breaking, she made her way home. As she got into bed she felt a sudden onrush of joy. She sensed that, for the first time in her life, she was truly alive." How the widow got to that point, you'll need to read on your own. www.emergingwriters.typepad.com |
