Add to basket12 x 9 1/4 x 3 1/2 in. cloth-covered clamshell box, with 79 loose pages laid in. The second volume of poet Will Alexander and artist Byron Baker s collaborative project of telepathic eruptions,Anonymous Stellar Ravinescomprises 77 verbal/visual works featuring Alexander s poetic responses to Baker s ink drawings. The works within engage the geological world, hewing towards the mineral, the botanical, and the animal, exploring an alchemical world in conversation with, yet distinct from, the first iteration of this project. Of the project, Alexander writes: "Anonymous Stellar Ravinesformed within the scale was telepathic autoignition. It ignited via no externalized scripting evolved from super-imposed density. Not unlike Sri Aurobindo s psychic identity via the Adesh. A telepathic self-governing that spontaneously erupts from the mind terrestrially applicable to lock and key. My condensed written inscriptions were simultaneous with Byron s visual insights. Thus, inner audition became one with the visual field at sempiternal scale. There existed no psychic residue, no foreclosed drafting by mistake. There was no irregularity within our collective mental field. What persisted was an unforeseen genetic bonding that persists within nature. Not a superimposed hallucinatory amalgam but instantaneous yield not unlike sharks in water or trees from soil being telepathic inevitability that formed sempiternal lightning on Earth." In addition toAnonymous StellarRavines, Alexander and Baker have previously collaborated onThe Codex Mirror(2014), which Cornel West described as "powerful and poignant," bringing "together two great artists who take us on a journey so badly needed in our dark times." Alexander s recent book,Refractive Africa, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2022. The first volume ofAnonymous Stellar Ravineswas published in 2024 by Granary Books. The pages were printed in Los Angeles by E&T Graphics, including tipped-on digital prints of Baker's drawings. The title and colophon pages were printed by Aardvark Letterpress. One page within is printed on red Hiromi paper. The gray buckram-covered clamshell boxes were fabricated by Charlene Matthews. This is from an edition of 25 copies, plus 2 copies hors commerce, numbered and signed.
