TIME ON THE MOVE
poetry by Barry Wallenstein, photos by Barbara Rosenthal
The collaboration between you and Barbara Really works — the photos complement the poems precisely because they do not try to complement the poems. But on second or third reading and looking, there are many subtle correspondences. Just one example: “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” — that “aerial steed flying joyfully” is brightly evoked by the top photo on the facing page, a rearing carousel horse from the country of childhood. —- Mikhail Horowitz

PARTY EVERYWHERE
by Jeffrey Cyphers Wright
20 pgs
First edition inkjet , saddle stitched, June, 2014.
First edition offset, printed spine, Fall, 2019
Second edition, January, 2020
A 34-page single-poem book of serious fun and autobiographical hints, it contains dozens of Jeffrey Cyphers Wright’s color collages comprising his words among variously shaped portions of appropriated wallpaper, stamps and insignias on which he has scribbled, painted and pasted. The first edition was produced in 2014 while Wright was recipient of a Creative Projects Grant at eMediaLoft, NYC. For this second edition, each page has been re-designed in brilliant color, including the text. The colors and sizes of Wright’s phrases speak them to the reader in various voices: loud, soft, public, private, dialog and narration.
This poem is a manifesto for the nascent ‘eventworks’ movement that stresses collaboration, community and cause-based art. Welcome to the new world ardor —- Michael Andre
Jeff Wright is always running for Mayor of the East Village. -- Richard Hell

Rosenthal discussed the 38-year process of her novel in relationship to the other 70 image/text/performance/media works by her that Printed Matter offers, and what she means by "Media Poetry." She also spoke about how her art and literary work in overlapping media fits together. All four artist/writers, as well as video artists such as Coleen Fitzgibbon and other mediated thinkers were present to talk about the works they produced or screened at eMediaLoft.org during the past year.
