Cervena Barva Press Announces a New Book
Van Gogh's Ear by Pamela L. Laskin
Pamela L. Laskin, a teacher, writer, cyclist, swimmer and avid reader, has had many poems, short stories and children's stories published in journals and magazines. She is a lecturer in the English Department at The City College, where she directs The Poetry Outreach Center. Central Station, her first book of poetry, was the winner of the Millennium Poetry Prize. Remembering Fireflies, her second collection, was published by Plain View Press, and Ghosts, Goblins, Gods and Geodes, her third collection, was published by World Audience Press. In 2009, Plain View Press published her fourth collection, Secrets of Sheets. Three poetry chapbooks, five picture books and two young adult novels have been published as well. She edited a collection of original fairy tales, The Heroic Young Woman, published by Clique Calm Books. She lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband, Ira, while her children, Craig and Samantha, are away at school completing their degrees.
Pamela Laskin is equally able to grasp the big picture -- “born/ out of millions of years/ of old thumbs and cortexes” -- as well as the small, luminous detail. She writes with vivid immediacy about the people and places around her, so that each poem, “Each bead is like the cell of a body/ passing through a busy street/ on a quiet day.” It is a pleasure to spend time with and have one’s senses sharpened by this book.
-Elaine Equi
Pamela Laskin’s new poems move richly and swiftly through memory and presence, through family, romance, friendship, and art, through Brooklyn and the rest of the world. They are passionate, quiet, thoughtful, intelligent. I want to say there is something modest about them, but it’s the modesty of someone who knows she knows and will lift the screen for a second if only to see if you can figure it out. Van Gogh’s Ear is a fine and generous collection.
-Mark Statman
In a Glass Ball
Clouds stuck in the sky
summer has evaporated
anorexic trees,
children gone from the streets.
Soon I will be snowed under
as I am, perhaps, already
staring out the window
like the woman trapped in a glass ball
which people turn over, indiscriminately
watching the tiny flakes
scatter haphazardly
observing
the unsettling appearance
of a woman
going nowhere.

The Choir Boats
by Daniel A. Rabuzzi
London, 1812 | Yount, Year of the Owl
What would you give to make good on the sins of your past? For merchant Barnabas McDoon, the answer is: everything.
When emissaries from a world called Yount offer Barnabas a chance to redeem himself, he accepts their price -- to voyage to Yount with the key that only he can use to unlock the door to their prison. But bleak forces seek to stop him: Yount's jailer, a once-human wizard who craves his own salvation, kidnaps Barnabas's nephew. A fallen angel -- a monstrous owl with eyes of fire -- will unleash Hell if Yount is freed. And, meanwhile, Barnabas's niece, Sally, and a mysterious pauper named Maggie seek with dream-songs to wake the sleeping goddess who may be the only hope for Yount and Earth alike.

GUITARIST/COMPOSER
TERRENECE MCMANUS
UNVEILS "FIRSTBORN"
Featuring Ellery Eskelin, Mark Helias, and Gerald Cleaver
On Saturday, February 6, Terrence McManus will be premiering a new ensemble at the Cornelia Street Cafe in Greenwich Village, entitled "Firstborn".
Guitarist and composer Terrence McManus has made a serious name for himself in improvised and contemporary music, with an unmistakable sound and truly new approach to the guitar. Described as "a visionary guitarist" by guitar legend Gene Bertoncini, Terrence's unique style and approach have also been heralded by guitar greats Bill Frisell and John Abercrombie. His much sought after sound can be heard in the Gerry Hemingway Quintet, Kermit Driscoll Quartet and Trio, and the Herb Robertson Ensemble.
At the heart of this new ensemble, "Firstborn", is the revisitation of a more conventional quartet setting. However, the resemblance will be purposefully blurred, as the familiarity of the quartet sound will interlaced with stretches of multiple independence, electronica, and industrial sounds.
The ensemble will feature some of the absolute top musicians in improvised music today. Performing with Terrence will be saxophonist Ellery Eskelin, bassist Mark Helias, and drummer Gerald Cleaver. Sets at 9pm and 10:30pm.
Terrence's other recent ensembles have included Tim Berne, Herb Robertson, Mark Helias, Gerry Hemingway (The Weathly Industrialists), and Ellery Eskelin, Mat Maneri, Russ Lossing, Gerry Hemingway (The Dream of the Ants).
