Instead of completing that book, Dennis and Warren leapt into writing their first play together, and over the intervening years they collaborated on three books including \u003cem\u003eFrench Fries \u003c\/em\u003e(now considered a classic in experimental literature and expressive typography). A few years ago they began collaborating again on poems. Dennis’ writing. Warren’s visualizations. Now, on the 40th anniversary of their original effort, they have completed the book of poems. Comprised of 225 poems (including a dozen or so from the original effort), \u003cem\u003eFive Oceans in a Teaspoon\u003c\/em\u003e reflects Bernstein’s life experiences and the artistry of Bernstein and Lehrer at the height of their creative powers. As with his journalism, Dennis J Bernstein’s poems reflect the struggle of everyday people trying to survive in the face of adversity. Divided into eight movements, the book reads like a memoir in short visual poems. It spans a lifetime, lifetimes: growing up confused by dyslexia and a parental gambling addiction; graced by pogo sticks, boxing lessons and a mother’s compassion; becoming a frontline witness to war and its aftermaths, to prison, street life, love and loss, open heart surgery, caring for aging parents and visitations from them after they’re gone. Warren Lehrer’s typographic compositions give form to the interior, emotional and metaphorical underpinnings of the poems. Together, the writing and visuals create a new whole that engages the reader to become an active participant in the navigation, discovery, and experience of each poem. As the title suggests, \u003cem\u003eFive Oceans in a Teaspoon\u003c\/em\u003e distills a wide expanse of territory with minimal means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column book-image\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"padding\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Center for Book Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45024353910940,"sku":"S-D2-05","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3861\/files\/3687f971-02_Lehrer_Bernstein_Five-Oceans-Book_Cover_from-angle_web.jpg?v=1748996315"},{"product_id":"god-is-die","title":"God is Die","description":"\u003cem\u003eGod is Die\u003c\/em\u003e by Jess Underwood is a meditation on chance, multiplicity and the mutability of reality.\r\nSoft cover, saddle stitched book.

With time, I’ve realized that through photography, I can subvert the dominant structures of power that for years have separated people from one another.

The contents—an unlikely mix of Hugo Ball, W.E.B. Du Bois, Adrian Piper, Gertrude Stein, Sun Ra, Stokely Carmichael, Gilles Deleuze—formed a kind of experimental canon, realized through what Pendleton calls “radical juxtaposition.” In 2017, Koenig Books published the Reader in a hardcover edition, with newly commissioned essays and additional writings by the artist.\r\n\r\nA decade later, Pendleton has composed another reader, building upon the constellation of writers, artists, filmmakers, philosophers and critics that emerged in the first volume, and sketching out new potential forms and vectors for Black Dada. Along with new source texts—from Toni Cade Bambara to Piet Mondrian to Clarice Lispector to Achille Mbembe—Pendleton has included conversations with some of the figures whose writing and work were featured in the earlier Reader: Thomas Hirschhorn, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Joan Jonas, Lorraine O’Grady, and Joan Retallack.\r\n\r\nIntroduction by Adam Pendleton.
