Review of Soham Patel’s to afar from afar

by The Accomplices September 28, 2019
written by The Accomplices

A great review of to afar from afar by Soham Patel is up on The Bind.

From “The Apparitions of Language: Reading Soham Patel’s to afar from afar“”

6. Meanwhile, the poem “in airplane” finds chaos and confusion in the presence of violence. Drone patterns interrupt the structural integrity of language. Thoughts form in strata. A triangle breaks the poem into clusters. Lines are arranged in ambiguity. I felt briefly lost. I didn’t know in which direction I was supposed to move, what path my eyes were supposed to follow. “in airplane” evokes this feeling of uncertainty, brought on by the presence of a foreign object. More than that—a drone, a symbol of American intervention, the icon of globalization, of violence committed from a distance.

Review of Laura Hyunjhee Kim’s Entering the Blobosphere

by The Accomplices September 28, 2019
written by The Accomplices

Laura Hyunjhee Kim’s Entering the Blobosphere is reviewed on Empty Mirror.

Mike Corrao, author of Man, Oh Man, writes:

Entering the Blobosphere reads like cultural theory that has been infected by an unknown organism. The subject of this investigation manipulating its own description. Much talked about, but its presence spectral, looming behind the writer’s ear. In the same manner as bell hooks, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Serres, Laura Hyunjhee Kim approaches theory not as an explanation of other art forms, but as an art form of its own.

The text’s movement is arrhythmic yet soothing. It shifts between investigation, explanation, and musing. Each transition introduced by large typesets and mutated epitaphs. The movement of the text never feels unwarranted or dishonest. It behaves in the same manner as its subject. The cellular blob attempts to understand itself. Beginning with confident dictations, then moving into an exploratory phase, then defining the details of its ontology.

Gabrielle Civil Talks with Ilana Masad on NYLON

Yesssssss!

Gabrielle Civil is featured on NYLON magazine. She speaks with Ilana Masad about her work, her book Experiments in Joy, art, and performance.

From “Gabrielle Civil’s Art Is an Experiment in Joy”:

What happens for me when I’m making a performance, is that I create the box, the frame, the context. I create a space in which I can do whatever I want to do and be whoever I want to be, for however long that performance is, whether it’s three minutes or an hour or two.

Yahoo!

Our very own Peter Woods is profiled on VoyagerLA as the amazing, prolific, community building human being he is.

And of course, he is an Accomplice.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Every journey has its ups and downs. There were struggles. Money. Relationship issues. Time management. Racism lol (for real though). As for Writ Large Press, we supported each other and dove head first into creating books that amplified marginalized voices and created events that engaged and recognized our community. The struggle made us simplify and streamline our processes. They made us become better at what we do.

And about what The Accomplices do:

We call ourselves The Accomplices because we are dedicated to supporting each other in the mission to center marginalized voices and transform the publishing and literary landscape. There is a power in publishing, in sharing our words with our communities and declaring them for all the world. We believe that through publishing we can move the center and practice living a bold, radical, sustainable future.

Megan Kaminski Is Reading Janice Lee

by The Accomplices September 28, 2019
written by The Accomplices

Megan Kaminski, author of Deep City, is reading our very own Janice Lee.

The Sky Isn’t Blue offers insight into the very nature of perception and observation. The themes of longing, connection, and loss play out in various permutations throughout the book, through remarks on color, episodes of Agents of Shield, and interactions with human and non-human persons.

It’s definitely a book that should be on everyone’s list. Grab yourself a copy.
