Über den Autor
Toni Simon is a multimedia artist and writer living in Brooklyn with her husband, poet Nick Piombino. Her work encompasses the ways in which the future might appear, the shape of things to come, accessed through trance states. The process of channeled, automatic writing led to Simon's illustrated book and animated videos of experimental prose poetry Earth After Earth (Lunar Chandelier Press, 2012) and to Telescope Highway. She collaborated with Joanna Fuhrman on Dear Air, a combination of photography, sculpture and poetry. Simon's drawings have been exhibited at the Drawing Center in NYC. tonisimonart.blogspot.com
Klappentext
Telescope Highway is a great-grandchild of Breton and Eluard's Magnetic Fields and is also akin to the wild vision of Philip Lamantia's poetry and the gnomic magic of the Wizard of Oz. Transmitted in trance and notated with drawings, Toni Simon's apocalyptic "songs out of salt shakers," "appearing within, hidden in a package, the thread, and a mesmerization mirror" are conveyed in a series of profoundly enigmatic, metaphoric communications.
