On the bottom layer, bright orange and blue paints are scribbled violently across a white surface, with drips splattered across the end of the strokes. Over this, a layer of black and red paint is stroked on with equal violence, and then a layer of light cool colors (whites, yellows, and greens) are selectively smeared over it as if by hand. A splattering of blue sand and flue streaks across the center from the lower left-hand side to the upper right. In the center, Amanda has gone back with a sharp tool and scratched marks down through the lighter colors, leaving jagged black and red lines that one may imagine to resemble hands waving back and forth over a distressed figure. https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/amy-cohen-efron-issue-6 daily 0.75 2018-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1521605393524-GR8H7VUY9Q40MP4KUWTB/Efron_DPS.jpg Amy Cohen Efron - Art, Issue 6 - Teeming of Pussies [Image Description: On a sumi-ink cliff stands the black silhouette of a girl and her dog. She holds a sign and wears a pink "pussy" hat (referencing the Women's March of 2017). Below the cliff stretches a vast field filled with tiny figures in pink hats and dotted with white protest signs. In the distance, the pink hats fade into abstracted pink and black dots that begin to resemble flowers. On the far horizon, a great emerald city rises, and at its center a White House-shaped mansion (also green) and a towering white Washington Monument. The watery blue halo around the city is a final visual clue, meant to remind the viewer of that iconic 1939 movie scene in which Judy Garland (as Dorothy) prepares to cross a field of poppies to challenge the Wizard of Oz.] https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/anastasia-keck daily 0.75 2016-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1469309398650-1A55XG8SIQRBKIYVHW78/image-asset.jpeg Anastasia Keck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1469309603889-BH9BFRF3FK6RILAB0PUU/image-asset.jpeg Anastasia Keck https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/andrea-carter-brown daily 0.75 2017-01-08 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/andy-jackson daily 0.75 2016-08-02 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/angele-ellis daily 0.75 2016-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1469162733406-4TR663FPHG0LC516XAJP/Angele+Ellis_red+headshot+with+Buddha_by+Vaschelle+Andr%C3%A9.jpg Angele Ellis https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/angus-english-issue-6 daily 0.75 2018-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1521605706618-Y4GES39L82MG2R7LV3O2/English_DPS.jpg Angus English - Art, Issue 6 - "Swift Spirit" (8.5"x5.5") Ballpoint pen on toned index card.

The distended tongue is inhumanely long, shoving into the center of the page where it twists and distorts into a warped mask of a second face.

A the bottom of the painting dissolves into a thick flow of yarn that spills out onto the floor. The painting itself shows a naked gender-ambiguous figure intentionally dislocating their own arm. The background is filled with chaotic multi-colored shapes and words. Some of the visible words include “Hysteria,” “Fuck your representation,” “gaslight,” “evolution works,” and (crossed out) “No excuses” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1536009364051-612HSFNS1Z50SVFAQZ9Y/20180811_192735_HDR.jpg Art Editors' Note - Issue 7 - "Humpty Dumpty Rehabilitation Plan: #1–6" by Anthony Tusler at "Artists Undeterred" The wall installation of the six framed “Humpty Dumpty Rehabilitation Plan” images (featured in this issue) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1536009363692-C8APYG0M4I2G8NW02WG8/20180811_204724_HDR.jpg Art Editors' Note - Issue 7 - "Union for the Useless" by Laura Cowley, at "Artists Undeterred" The wall installation of the “Union for the Useless” banner (featured in this issue).

A mixed media / oil painting. A person of indeterminate gender stares with great intensity from the dark canvas. They are resting their chin on their hands and under this pressure the wrists bend with extreme hypermobility (indicative of a connective tissue disorder) until their crooked fingers press against their inner arm. The portrait is cropped right above the ears and shortly above the elbows, and though the figure is clearly unclothed, their chest is lost in shadows. The image has intense chiaroscuro, with a bright warm light coming from the upper left and a softer blue-green light coming from the lower right, creating a cinematic and somewhat unsettling mood. In places the painting has classical elements, but around the eyes it appears photorealistic. https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/art-editors-note-issue-3 daily 0.75 2017-01-09 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/art-issue-2 daily 0.75 2016-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1475669360877-AMJ6R6OR4PRY9HBY2K1W/image-asset.jpeg Art - Issue 2 "Bolivian Houses" An acrylic painting. This painting shows four identical boxy white houses, each on its own hill. Their doors and windows are arranged so as to resemble little faces looking out in surprise. Squarish blue and gold splotches on the hills reference farmland, and the sky is a subtle blend of golden tones, with broad horizontal strokes resembling layers of cloud. The painting seems at once primitive and well crafted, with simplified shapes and masterful color and brush handling. https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/ashley-young daily 0.75 2016-07-24 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/author-and-artist-biographies-issue-2 daily 0.75 2017-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1475605233084-T4DTCUJQRH2F00ZTYGOX/MDK+Headshot.jpeg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 2 A snapshot showing a paper ghost emerging from a bathtub is held by a white woman obscured by the photo except for part of her hand, a black shirt, and curly brown hair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1475541253067-C73XA4AY9RL2LNJ44BKV/AmandaFrench.jpg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 2 A close-cropped color photograph of the painter Amanda French.

Her mysterious smirk is reminiscent of the Mona Lisa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1483508130191-7X44GRPYK4B18I1DIS75/image-asset.jpeg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1479675060369-0K1EYPXP5S81CE6MV76M/undercutside.jpg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1479674899315-YRXZ24VQGQGVWCC3F8EP/E+Eileen+Murphy.jpg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 A snapshot showing a paper ghost emerging from a bathtub is held by a white woman obscured by the photo except for part of her hand, a black shirt, and curly brown hair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1483509021333-SWVNZFAZW8HV169AZCF7/image-asset.jpeg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1479674496163-JMYCLKCQ2HDA3B5CK6TE/image-asset.png Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 In this black-framed instant photo, a white man visible in profile from chest to forehead leans his arm against the pane of a large window. He wears glasses with thick rectangular frames and a lightweight gray hoodie with the sleeves torn off. He has a short, light-colored beard. The picture has a pensive, dreamy feel, and by a trick of the light it appears that the windowpane is bowing slightly toward the man where his arm rests against the glass. (The image is a self-portrait). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1479674598673-Q7X4YYONVKT78IFUPD8Q/image-asset.jpeg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1483934709911-MSQQFIOWBWPYOIT69352/image-asset.jpeg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1479674810716-0P399YBEZSVYYJQW898Z/new+profile+pic+march+2016.jpg Author & Artist Biographies - Issue 3 A color film photograph by Harrison Swan that focuses on a bearded figure set against a green wall.

"Drifting light" (Manipulated photo, landscape orientation, with many filters superimposed.) This is a beach scene, with ice plants and other vegetation and driftwood on sand. The tops of many of the plants and pieces of wood are electric cobalt and azure, this color is echoed in sparkles on the sand. Atop all this are swirling light trails, (predominantly in fern, shamrock, pear shades of green) which appear to emerge from the sand and make ovals over and with the wood and plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1474829139957-4QR3GB8YFXLTM4E8Q4F1/sacrificial+altar+2400x3000.jpg Barbara Ruth Issue 2 - "Sacrificial Altar" (Manipulated photo, landscape orientation.) This began as a picture of a tree. I used a mirror filter, so the entire picture is symmetrical. The picture as a whole has an oval shape created by blacking out all the edges. At the top center of the picture, the background/sky ranges through bands of yellow: lemon, banana, corn. At the center is a large black figure with antennae on top, a large body with wings, and two yellow eyes low in the face/body. Below the face, the ground is crimson with white streaks. Below the figure is a smaller figure, upside down, with arms stretched and elbows bent. Black branches are on all sides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1474829148941-V47UPP10XH2O08WRGH0A/sun+through+the+trees+and+in+the+water+2400+x3000.jpg Barbara Ruth Issue 2 - "Sun through the trees and water" (Manipulated photo, portrait orientation.) Lake, trees, sky. From the left, a large oak branches over a lake, stretching across the top of the page. Through and past, we see the cloudy sky, textured in shades of bone, graphite, flint. Silver and bone clouds hover above the darkened treeline on the far side of the lake. To the left, sunset colors of blush and lavender appear faintly in the branches.

[Image Description: Numerous triangles and quadilaterals in alternating colors (blue, orange, purple, red, and black) surround an orange hexagon. In the center of the hexagon is a purple rectangle. The fill colors appear to be done with the same pigment, but vary in transparency.] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1503205665716-9LPQZW90QEXCOKD3YC01/vibrant_Bowlby_GeometricNo2.jpg Carl Bowlby - Issue 5 Art - Geometric No. 2 Acrylic and pencil on canvas by Carl Bowlby. [Image Description: The illusion of perspective is created in this piece by alternating darker and lighter trapezoids in strips along the bottom and sides of the piece. In the center a bright orange square may appear like the bottom (or top) of a structure. The top of the image has aligned trapezoids of matching color that begin to meet in the center, creating the sense of another angle which is not, however, represented by a fifth side on the orange square, leading to a disorienting shift in the perspective as one reaches the center of the page.] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1503205674065-R7E0D8JT967MQMN5R96B/vibrant_bowlby_GeometricNo3.jpg Carl Bowlby - Issue 5 Art - Geometric No. 3 Acrylic and pencil on canvas by Carl Bowlby. [Image Description: At first glance this appears to be a non-repetitive pattern made up of multicolored (black, green, red, orange, and maroon) triangles and quadrilaterals, with yellow circles overlaid on them. Closer analysis shows that the circles are not in fact perfectly mapped over the underlying shapes and are in many cases being distorted by them. For example, on the bottom left circle the right hand edge has been not only bisected by a triangle but has also been shifted upward a slight amount, with the bisected section moving along the angle of the triangle towards the top. The yellow circles are not transparent to the underlying colors, but the edges of the shapes can be seen making a visible line along any intersection.] https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/carolyn-lazard daily 0.75 2017-01-09 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/carrie-addington daily 0.75 2016-10-04 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/chelsea-grimmer daily 0.75 2017-01-08 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/chrystal-robinson-shofroth-issue-6 daily 0.75 2018-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1521605605319-RSSJ4UHRW5Z2KK80OJD1/Robinsonshofroth_DPS.jpg Chrystal Robinson-Shofroth - Art, Issue 6 - “Ascend: they thought they could bury us they did not know we are seeds" (36"x48") Mixed media on canvas, 2016. [Image Description: Centered against a dark background stands a woman-shaped tree. She encircles the earth with her roots and embraces the spiraling, labyrinthine stars with her branches. Blue streaks like emotive rain fall from her branches into the waves of blue and green that rise to meet her roots. In the golden center of the earth, a heart-shaped seedling sprouts stalk and roots.] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1521605608257-BTEIHANJJUHJDTRM8GXX/crobinsonshofroth2_DPS.jpg Chrystal Robinson-Shofroth - Art, Issue 6 - “Doorway into my soul” (24"x32") Oil on canvas, 2017. [Image Description: A portrait of the artist as a woman in bright red. Her body dissolves into a multicolored flowing aura, which curls around the page and surrounds her heart. The heart itself is a hybrid of the traditional symbolic heart shape and an anatomically correct organ, as if to represent a dual symbolism of emotion and physical body. A doorway opens in the surface of the heart and an eye pears out. Chaotic darkness overwhelms the edges of the image, pressing against the shadow-blurred edges of the figure and the heart, like the floating tunnel vision of an on-coming stroke.] https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/ciel-saintemarie-issue-4 daily 0.75 2017-05-05 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/cinthia-ritchie daily 0.75 2017-01-09 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/cj-valasek-ideas-issue-9 daily 0.75 2020-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1587239762152-WTSM23ZKFRBCKNKV3J36/IMG_0599.jpg C.J.

All the images have an second artifice to them: a digital simulacrum of photographic noise that references the era of silver nitrate and alchemy.] https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/eddie-swayze daily 0.75 2016-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1469307894453-Q2USRZ069A8K43BUE4LY/image-asset.jpeg Eddie Swayze https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1469307046914-9TQX89VXZN60NLG9BBN2/image-asset.jpeg Eddie Swayze https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/eddie-swayze-issue-6 daily 0.75 2018-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1521605525694-EQ7XI84AWIJSRZ3DVBDR/Swayze_DPS.jpg Eddie Swayze - Art, Issue 6 - ASL [Image Description: In the center of a sold red rectangle there is strip of bold black.

With one hand she holds her red hair up onto her head, creating an s-curve with her shoulders and back. She glances back through the curve of her arm, almost making eye contact with the lens.

Red and white fabric wraps around limbs and ribs that are at first difficult to make out, then slowly resolve into hips, thighs, an elbow and a protruding rib-cage. The artist's tattooed hand reaches across to obscure her breast, and her jet black fingernail polish reflects the same colors as the polished black object she cradled against her breast (a remote? a stone?).

There is a hint at being my own master there, as the dog is holding its own leash. I may be a dog to many, but I OWN MYSELF. The dog is quoting Sigmund Freud (from Future Of An Illusion). At the bottom there is a caption describing this rescue dog’s obsession with Freud’s essays. The portrait of this scholarly dog gets into some of my obsessions--- dogs/animals, anti-religion, and the work of Sigmund Freud. This also hints at my Autism and the mentality of being my own rescuer. Did you know the term "little professors" was first coined by Viennese child psychologist, Hans Asperger to describe the children with Autism under his care? The intellectual-informative tone of this piece, reminds me of that.] https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/holly-morningstar-issue-4 daily 0.75 2017-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1493894880982-XWB2AATQPRF55IFOOPRM/HollyMorningstar_Aurora.jpg Holly Morningstar - Issue 4 - Aurora Watercolor by Holly Morningstar.

[Image Description: 18"x30" watercolor, with a lacy green wash across the paper. In the bottom third, we see the bare shoulders and unconcerned face of a feminine figure with a metallic helmet-like contraption on her head. The brow of the helmet has an iris-like opening from which a rose bud emerges, as if from insider her skull, scattering petals across the page. A large bee flies upward in the top third of the page, tethered to the helmet by a taught wire which it appears to pull from inside her head. (Despite the awkwardness one might expect of such a scene were it taking place in real life, the image has a charming and reassuring quality to it). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1493894716796-YLCOFKRUKNKJGM0RPQGM/HollyMorningstar_the_detonator.jpg Holly Morningstar - Issue 4 - The Detonator Watercolor by Holly Morningstar.

[Image Description: A portrait of the artist as a woman in bright red. Her body dissolves into a multicolored flowing aura, which curls around the page and surrounds her heart. The heart itself is a hybrid of the traditional symbolic heart shape and an anatomically correct organ, as if to represent a dual symbolism of emotion and physical body. A doorway opens in the surface of the heart and an eye pears out. Chaotic darkness overwhelms the edges of the image, pressing against the shadow-blurred edges of the figure and the heart, like the floating tunnel vision of an on-coming stroke.] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1521749463033-5UMCJTKHKWVLPU2MWKNC/Robinsonshofroth_DPS.jpg Issue 6 'Ascend: They Thought They Could Bury us They Did Not Know We Are Seeds' by Chrystal Robinson-Shofroth.

However, nothing dispirits, and nothing seems worth while disputing. He bolts down all events, all creeds, and beliefs, and persuasions, all hard things visible and invisible, never mind how knobby ; as an ostrich of potent digestion gobbles down bullets and gun flints. And as for small difficulties and worryings, prospects of small disaster, peril of life and limb; all these and death itself, seem to him only sly, good-natured hits, and jolly punches in the side bestowed by the unseen and unaccountable old joker."] https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/kaitlyn-brennan-student-artist-issue-5 daily 0.75 2017-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1503202978574-RA1H0PQLPCUMPD6ILYKW/IMG_8634.JPG Kaitlyn Brennan, Student Artist - Issue 5 Photo by Kaitlyn Brennan (artist/model) / Sophie Perry (photographer).

This painting shows four identical boxy white houses, each on its own hill. Their doors and windows are arranged so as to resemble little faces looking out in surprise. Squarish blue and gold splotches on the hills reference farmland, and the sky is a subtle blend of golden tones, with broad horizontal strokes resembling layers of cloud.

The abstract background fades from blue-green at the bottom to bright gold in the middle and on to a subtle mixture of blues and pale yellows along the top. In the top left, expressive circular strokes in white, gold, and red define a sun that seems to spin in the sky. Along the bottom, simple white flowers sprout on dark stalks, defining the ground with their presence.

This small painting shows a field in shades of blue and green, with stylized gold and white flowers sprouting across its expanse. The bright blue birds peck at the ground. In the sky above a a flock of gestural birds flies across an expressionistic yellow sun, while waves of blue, pink, and white blend together in the clouds.

Over this, a layer of black and red paint is stroked on with equal violence, and then a layer of light cool colors (whites, yellows, and greens) are selectively smeared over it as if by hand. A splattering of blue sand and flue streaks across the center from the lower left-hand side to the upper right. In the center, Amanda has gone back with a sharp tool and scratched marks down through the lighter colors, leaving jagged black and red lines that one may imagine to resemble hands waving back and forth over a distressed figure. https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/prose-editors-note-issue-2 daily 0.75 2016-10-05 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/prose-editors-note-issue-3 daily 0.75 2017-01-07 https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/prose-issue-1 daily 0.75 2016-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1469390745264-ROFNTR0JUGXI4TLJLF2L/Anastasia_Keck_The_Tumble_Down_and_Up_Again+6.01.46+PM.jpg Prose - Issue 1, Editor's Note https://www.deafpoetssociety.com/prose-issue-2 daily 0.75 2016-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57325754f8508218bb9dac4d/1475669257973-0H93NC63WHIGHQA1SJ8L/image-asset.jpeg Prose - Issue 2 Karrie lies at the bottom of steep, concrete stairs as though she has fallen backward. Her feet are partially on the stairs, and her body is twisted. In her right hand, she grips a NASCAR checkered racing flag (signaling both the start of a race and the winner crossing the finish line); in her left hand, an empty prescription bottle. Her red walking cane appears to be falling down the stairs after her. Red in NASCAR signifies the race must be stopped immediately, usually due to danger on the track.
