INVITATION: BIBLIOTHECA INVISIBILIS
Eileen Tabios has inaugurated a new project and you are invited to visit and/or participate!
Eileen is the Library Director for BIBLIOTHECA INVISIBILIS, an online library of conceptualizations of the invisible. The Library consists of books and publications as well as other media.
Marsh Hawk Press authors participating, to date, are
Eileen R. Tabios: HERE and HERE (the latter being the "footnote poems" from her 2005 Marsh Hawk Book, I TAKE THEE, ENGLISH, FOR MY BELOVED).
Tom Beckett: HERE
You are invited to participate by sharing your work(s) that presents the Invisible (including but not limited to invisible or erased text). The Call for Participation is HERE. There is no particular deadline; the Library blog will be updated as information is sent in. We replicate the Call here for convenience and because I truly hope YOU will participate:
Your works can exist (and if there's a link I'm happy to link to it), or be imaginary. The key is to share the work with (some of) its underlying conceptualization.
If you would like to participate, please send the following:
1) Title or name of work
2) Write-up on the work's concept
3) An illustration (e.g. book cover, interior text, or whatever you deem appropriate)
4) Bio and Author photo
Send information to, or ask questions of, me at Nalanda10@aol.com
Eileen R. Tabios
Library Director, Bibliotheca Invisibilis
As it turns out, the project already has garnered interest from notable poets and artists from around the world!

A REVIEW OF TOM BECKETT'S NEW BOOK!
Richard Lopez provides a wonderful write-up on Tom Beckett's just-released Dipstick/(Diptych) over at Really Bad Movies blog. Here's an excerpt:
these texts are tombeckettian at their finest. they are acute metaphysical constructs of our quotidian world as contemplated by a clown with a massively sized IQ.
by clown i mean an artist of the first rank who works from failure only to succeed thru that time-honored art of having a pie thrown at his face. the poet's frenetic yet lucid texts move into territories of strangeness and utter delight.Congratulations Tom!
Go HERE to see entire review.
