g.spot press celebrates 1st release

February 11, 2008

g.spot press is pleased to announce the release of it’s first publication – Pillow Talk, the human comedy in erotic haiku by Marc Zegans with gestural abstract drawings by Gabrielle Senza.

A collaboration between artist Gabrielle Senza and poet Marc Zegans, Pillow Talk explores the human comedy through erotic haiku and graphite images drawn with sensitivity and light. Senza and Zegans’ collaboration unfolds as a conversation between form and text playing out across the pages of a pillow book, an intimate set of musings on eros expressed in raucous, tender, vulnerable human form.
Speaking different languages, male and female, line and word, sound and
shape, Zegans and Senza turn in to each other, gently, allowing life to find its balance in the shared, quiet moments of pillow talk.

Marc Zegans
Marc Zegans is a poet, playwright and author. His current work explores
waking dreams and human fragility in the post-industrial landscape. Marc’s play, Mum and Shah, co-written with Colby Devitt, was a Boston Globe “Pick of the Week”. His spoken word Album, “Night Work” was released by Philistine Records in August 2007.
Erin Cressida Wilson, author of the films, “Secretary” and “Fur” describes “Night Work” as, “erotic and sad, a logue of girls: broken-hearted, cruel and grieving – a celebration of love and naughty women…”

Gabrielle Senza
Artist-activist, Gabrielle Senza, is recognized as a multi-media artist whose work delves into social, psychological and political themes. The drawings included in Pillow Talk are rubbed, raw and erased – sharing many similar aspects one might experience during sex. Senza exhibits widely and has work in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, Fidelity Investments, Lifetime Entertainment, and in private collections around the world. She is the founder and director of Red Collaborative, a grassroots arts organization that raises public awareness and empowers survivors of abuse through a variety of creative public art initiatives.

    Where can I see sample of Pillow Talk? Sounds interesting. I live in Japan, and I’m interested in Haiku, but I’ve never heard of erotic Haiku. Sounds really interesting.

    Peace.

    What a delectable find! Picked it up at Dottie’s in Pittsfield and, since I’m 10 hours away from my wife, have been sending her (and a select few friends) the gems via email.

    Thanks for a great book. I look forward to seeing what else comes off the presses.
