It has MILABs, reptilians, a lugubrious house, a woman from Sirius, little dolls with pins, and the drawer is slowly closing, which allows the stories within it to be read.
ISMs Press now has my chapbook, The Cabinet of What You Don't See, which you can order for 5.50. It's hand made with beautiful paper and color, full color art cover, and includes a story the other stories are in included in (you'll have to see it to understand.) It's dark, surreal, expressionist, in the usual Sein und Werden style. In fact, if you order the current issue, my chapbook comes with it. It has MILABs, reptilians, a lugubrious house, a woman from Sirius, little dolls with pins, and the drawer is slowly closing, which allows the stories within it to be read. Want just the chapbook, for 5.50? Or want the current issue of Sein Und Werden, for 8.50, including the chapbook? In any case, check it out here! Of the chapbook, author Alana Capria says, ‘ In Tantra Bensko’s The Cabinet of What You Don’t See, the dreamlike stories build upon one another slowly, as the cabinet drawers open to reveal the many surreal, mythical, and dangerous parts. Delicate owls exist in conjunction with reptilian things that invade our beings and little winged dolls prance across the page, ignorant of their sexuality. Bensko’s writing is methodical in its lyricism. Her stories read like poems, beautiful sentences woven together that churn like waves as dog bodies eat and vomit one another over and over again.‘ Liminal and on the first page there, on the site, you see one poem about the quantum paper wad theory, as a teaser toward the chapbook itself. |
