The Tales of Scheherazade
Thursday, May 20, 2010
The 10th issue of Scheherezade’s Bequest is now online, containing some true gems for fans of fairy tale arts. Scheherezade’s Bequest is a tri-annual offering of fiction and poetry from the good folks behind the Cabinet des Fées website and journal: Helen Pilinovsky, Erzebet YellowBoy, Donna Quattrone, and Nin Harris.
Erzebet YellowBoy has a new website up, by the way: Tria Prima, which is filled with beautiful art and objects like the piece below. (To view the art, the navigation bar is at the bottom of the first page. I mention this because on some laptime screens, like mine, you have to scroll down to see it and it took me a while to find it...but maybe I just haven't had enough coffee this morning....) The image below, writes Erzebet, is a "collaborative work including Sonya Taaffe's poem, Carne Vale. Coffee stained frame encloses a book cover overlaing a collage of binder's materials. The spine has been replaced with bone and coffee stained pages are bound to it with sinew."
Hmmm, coffee seems to be a theme this morning. Time to go brew a fresh pot....
