Our soulful masks which radiate from all of the kaleidoscopic experiences of life are embedded in us. These individual masks of our experiences lift our soulful flesh and bones of our being and carry us forward through the days and nights within this mortal world and then beyond into the mysterious and boundless future~**~

Good to see and feel everybody’s energy! Thanks for your recommendation, Patti ~**~

Dear MadBeautiful, I’ve been a songwriter for about 50 years, with escapes from the aspect of the loomin “music Biz” being successfuly dodged now and then ( I taught figure skating for 12 years and learned to edit music for competitions and our club shows ) .I live in Massachusetts, and the university of MA has a radio station that sponsers and sets up summer music camps for adults. I spent 13 years scuffling in Nashville and Greenwich Village, San Francisco, Oklahoma and Berklee. The current classes are at a site called “SongTown”. Just keeping up with the changes in the “Biz”, and engaging in solving the puzzles that songs are. If you are interested in writing songs yourself, SongTown is my favorite to date. Nobody telling me I’m going to be rich ‘n famous. That gets old……

Dear Patti,

We are pleased to know that 'A Sinister Assassin' reached your OK and that you enjoyed it. We thought you would.

Huge thanks for sharing your thoughts about the book, it means a lot!

And thank you everyone for your orders - they were streaming generously since yesterday morning.

The book is available from our website https://www.infinitylandpress.com/shop

(The one coming out in April is from another publisher. It will be a small softcover with no photographs, drawings or archival material, although the text will be the same)

With much love and gratitude,

Karolina & Martin from Infinity Land Press

Love these pop up jewels.

Artaud is very mysterious to me.

I was exposed to his works while living in Paris.

I guess it's Artaud time again!

Hugs to you and Cairo.

Jim,I'd gladly contribute to keeping you here with us.

Love you,Patti, Cairo and you all

Thanks Cynthia. You may have seen by now that Patti has taken care of it. The kindness and generosity of Patti and the people in her Substack community have floored me. So amazing. And your offer is the perfect example. My deepest gratitude. Happy Lunar New Year. Take good care. And, yes, these pop-up jewels are fantastic.

You can find hard-to-find books at bookfinder dot com. (I spelled it out because otherwise a big link to the store appears.) It goes through a data base of mom/pop stores around the world that are registered here. Both old and used copies. I have found great books here. AbeBooks is a good carrier.

Anyhow mostly there are the paperback copies of the Artaud book. Different prices from $15 on up. However there is one -only one -place that has a hard copy, new. It’s expensive $69. But worth if you have money and like Artaud and rare books.

You can buy it here, Amazon free:

https://bookshop.org

You can buy anything, I think, that is in print and you can pre-order books. (I checked, and you can pre-order A Sinister Assassin in paperback.) Also, enter your favorite independent bookstore, and they will receive some proceeds, even if they do not carry the book.

Thank you so much Patti ❤️💫 I must read Artaud and this is a good reminder to do so - it is cool/inspiring that his literature was so influenced by the great French (post structural) philosophers: Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida et cetera. I’m currently writing about Deleuze as a sociologist and love finding connections between him and more creative/less academic authors.
