Title: Engines of Desire
Author: Linton Robinson
Trailer Creator: Linton Robinson
Blurb:
This re-issue of the fabled X Press edition of ENGINES OF DESIRE has already created a wave of renewed interest in Robinson, and the rings of poets in Seventies Seatttle and Nineties Baja California. We're glad to make this available in this inexpensive pocket format, and to include some more recent work.
These are poems that cut on several edges: anti-academic in approach, working the borderlines between poetry and rock lyrics, oral readings, "slams" and journals. Coming out of the reading series/street performance ethic of getting past referents and visual images to return to common emotions and auditory sounds, these poems still stand within the canon of "book poems" worth reading off the page. The stripped-down status, the unleveled gaze, the commitment to post-modernism without the self-consciousness are all directions being taken by contemporary international poets who work the internet rather than seminars and state presses.
ENGINES OF DESIRE contains poems that Robert Bly called "Inquiet. Struggling to come forth and be born" and Alan Ginsberg compared to "a machine doing a striptease". They deal with the heart as a wandering machine, the world as a setup, the body as worthy of notice. It's surprising that most of these poems were written thirty years ago, and high time they were once again available.

Congratulations December 09 Second Place Winner! Spanish Eyes
Title: Spanish Eyes
Author: Phyllis Campbell
Creator: Ginger Simpson
Blurb:
In a world when women must fight for every right, Rebecca Wakefield is determined to become a Pinkerton Detective. Her plan? Capturing the notorious thief, Anton Carerra; a man known as much for his womanizing as he is for his brilliant criminal mind. Will he steal her heart, too?
Lady’s man, Anton Carrera is smitten with Rebecca from the very beginning. He wants nothing more than to seduce the stiff Miss Wakefield, until he learns she is investigating him for a crime he didn’t commit. She is innocent and naïve; convinced he is the villain her superiors have painted him. But her over-zealous determination places both of them in danger and he is forced to play the honorable rogue.
Sweeping her away to Padre Island off the coast of Spain seemed like a clever idea at the time. But how can he protect them both from his own uncle’s murderous games when Anton’s heart falls victim to a woman as full of independence as she is desire…

Congratulations December 09 Third Place Winner! Counting the Cost
Title: Counting the Cost
Author: Liz Adair
Video Creator: Terry Gifford
Blurb:
Heck Benham understands life on his terms. He understands cattle. He understands hard work. He understands family values. But everything he holds sacred is about to be challenged when Mrs. Ruth Reynolds drives her way into Heck's life.
From the moment Heck and Ruth meet, the reader's own perception of right and wrong, good and evil will be questioned. In a uniquely objective portrayal, Ms. Adair lets the reader feel both the shame and the joy of choosing love and sacrifice over honor and social mores.
The characters are at times likable and other times disagreeable as they attempt to balance love and selflessness with the confusion of living under unfamiliar circumstances. But even the sometimes irritating choices the characters make cannot dispel the very real and powerful love between the characters.
This is the story of opposing fronts: man/woman, natural instinct/societal expectations, contrasting lifestyles, and joy/pain. At times the reader will find they are cheering for the triumphs of the characters, only to be swept away as they share in their pain of the characters. Ultimately, the reader will find themselves counting the cost they would pay to experience true and abiding love.

Title: Engines of Desire
Author: Linton Robinson
Trailer Creator: Linton Robinson
Blurb:
This re-issue of the fabled X Press edition of ENGINES OF DESIRE has already created a wave of renewed interest in Robinson, and the rings of poets in Seventies Seatttle and Nineties Baja California. We're glad to make this available in this inexpensive pocket format, and to include some more recent work.
These are poems that cut on several edges: anti-academic in approach, working the borderlines between poetry and rock lyrics, oral readings, "slams" and journals. Coming out of the reading series/street performance ethic of getting past referents and visual images to return to common emotions and auditory sounds, these poems still stand within the canon of "book poems" worth reading off the page. The stripped-down status, the unleveled gaze, the commitment to post-modernism without the self-consciousness are all directions being taken by contemporary international poets who work the internet rather than seminars and state presses.
ENGINES OF DESIRE contains poems that Robert Bly called "Inquiet. Struggling to come forth and be born" and Alan Ginsberg compared to "a machine doing a striptease". They deal with the heart as a wandering machine, the world as a setup, the body as worthy of notice. It's surprising that most of these poems were written thirty years ago, and high time they were once again available.

Title: Counting the Cost
Author: Liz Adair
Video Creator: Terry Gifford
Blurb:
Heck Benham understands life on his terms. He understands cattle. He understands hard work. He understands family values. But everything he holds sacred is about to be challenged when Mrs. Ruth Reynolds drives her way into Heck's life.
From the moment Heck and Ruth meet, the reader's own perception of right and wrong, good and evil will be questioned. In a uniquely objective portrayal, Ms. Adair lets the reader feel both the shame and the joy of choosing love and sacrifice over honor and social mores.
The characters are at times likable and other times disagreeable as they attempt to balance love and selflessness with the confusion of living under unfamiliar circumstances. But even the sometimes irritating choices the characters make cannot dispel the very real and powerful love between the characters.
This is the story of opposing fronts: man/woman, natural instinct/societal expectations, contrasting lifestyles, and joy/pain. At times the reader will find they are cheering for the triumphs of the characters, only to be swept away as they share in their pain of the characters. Ultimately, the reader will find themselves counting the cost they would pay to experience true and abiding love.
