Condensed Matter and Other States of Mind
- A Collection of poems
by Douglas A. Fowler " The average density of
the universe is something like 0.0000000000000000000000000001
kilograms per cubic meter (10-28 kg/m3). One
cubic meter of granite weighs some 2700 kilograms.
This book's density is 550 kg/m3. Your body
weighs in at about 1100 kg/m3, a density that
is some 10 million trillion trillion times that
of the universe. Our condensation from the void
would seem to be the exception; not the rule."

No War No More -Edited
by
Arya F. Jenkins "We take a
stand for peace, independently and collectively,
artistically and politically. In these times
it is imperative not to let slip through one's
hands the opportunity to say again and again,
with whatever means possible, creative and peaceful,
that war is wrong, that love is the only path
to peace, justice and freedom, and that we will
not veer from this path no matter the consequences.
This idea fed this project and I hope will feed
the minds and hearts of those who share in our
efforts by reading this book."

WNWG Presents -
"The WNWG is a unique writing
club based in Youngstown Ohio. Four authors
and friends, each specializing in different
genres and styles, have come together to form
the Wednesday
Night Writing Group. Together, we will
take you on a journey into the funny, twisted,
macabre and at times surreal realm of our imagination.
Join us as we explore the mysterious, the magical,
and the utterly absurd as we take you on an
adventure through our oft-twisted mindscape."

The artistic philosophy of
the artist:
"The barely controlled chaos and violence of the nature
we live in and the nature we are is the only thing left
to put on paper and surfaces for me."
Her work is an attempt to grasp the conglomerations
of activities of living creatures. She likes creating
graphically rich surfaces with lively mark-making to
capture the gritty energies of these scenes. The media
she uses include acrylics, watercolours, dry and oil
pastels, transfers of different types, vinyl and plaster
spackle, crayons, graphites, gesso, polymer, pencil,
wax and water-soluble coloured pencil, cyanotype printing,
ink pens, gelly pens, metallic leafs, collage, bleach,
soot, charcoal, coffee, found objects, and latex paint.
The artist has a fine arts degree with an emphasis on
drawing along with a minor in art history from Kutztown
University.
Spending seventeen years in chocolate factories has
given her talents ranging from running a molding line
to producing the liquid chocolate to creating fine European
truffles by hand. She has circumnavigated the perimeter
of the state of Pennsylvania on a solo bike-packing
trip, solo-backpacked across the mountains (small ones)
of this most favorite state for 2 weeks at a time, assisted
in the cave survey of Wind Cave National Park, and performed
renovations of planetarium domes.
Ludwig is an artist who is happiest outdoors and a lazy
bibliophiliac, who spelunks, rollerbades, picks up red
efts, wintergreen berries, ox-eye daisies, x-c skiis,
talks to barn owls, watches birds, foxes, antelopes,
butterflies, toads, praying mantises... snowdrops along
the Clarion and bald eagles over, foxgloves down the
Belltown way, scrumbles around, planting, drawing, hiking,
bogging, botanizing, stargazing, snowshoeing, herbing,
looking for bats & salamanders, backpacking and camping.
When that's done, she reads, writes, paints & does other
mixed media art, takes hours-long cyanotype photos,
& plays with cats. |
