New: Several Gravities by Keith Waldrop
Several Gravities by Keith Waldrop
For nearly four decades, Keith Waldrop has been creating a body of visual art that---while mirroring his acclaimed oeuvre of poetry, fiction and translation---has lived largely outside the public eye. Several Gravities, the first collection of his radiant collages, illuminates an essential aspect of Waldrop's work as well as reveals a mesmerizing world in which the invisible and the absent are roused and rise to the surface. Edited by Robert Seydel, Several Gravities features collages as well as an essay by Waldrop that explores the relationship between his distinctive visual and poetic practices.

Available Now: The Nancy Book by Joe Brainard
Brainard was a master of life's microcomedies, the unheard laughter that courses through any truly alert consciousness. And Nancy, with that bow like a pulsating noodle in her frizzy hair, is as good a Descartes as any for our age. ---Albert Mobilio, BookForum

From 1963 to 1978 Joe Brainard created more than one hundred works of art that appropriated the classic comic strip character Nancy and sent her into an astonishing variety of spaces, all electrified by the incongruity of her presence. Read more...

 
Forthcoming: Torture of Women by Nancy Spero
Completed in 1976, Torture of Women by renowned artist Nancy Spero juxtaposes first person testimony by female victims of torture with imagery drawn from ancient mythology. This startling and nuanced collage is not only a seminal feminist work, but also an art work that indicts the abuse of power and bears witness to the resiliency of the human spirit. Siglio's publication will feature the 125 ft. work in great detail so that it can be experienced with immediacy and intimacy. As Torture of Women speaks potently to an array of subjects within and beyond the art world, this book will serve as a centrifuge for conversation and include a selection of provocative and perspicacious essays. Release: 2010.
