Snake said let’s go on a quest in a magical realm to save our parents—how hard can it be? After all, we made it to The World Below. Pris had no idea what she was letting herself in for when she said yes. She certainly did not expect to be thrust into a magical maze heading towards a confrontation with a freaking minotaur! When Percival agreed to guide the two creatures from The World Above on their quest, little did he know the stresses of the maze would threaten to pull Pris and Snake apart, and that he would be tested to his very limits. Will the three creatures overcome their own demons, and the obstacles the maze throws at them so they can defeat The Minotaur and claim their prize?

Highlighting the interaction between myth and artist, word and image, Jacob Nyenthuis here presents a catalogue of these works, one that will enlighten Ayrton's British following while introducing him to an American audience."--BOOK JACKET.

A Readers Guide to ten of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges' best-known and most widely studied short stories.

This is a book about contemporary literary and artistic entanglements: word and image, media and materiality, inscription and illustration. It proposes a vulnerable, fugitive mode of reading poetry, which defies disciplinary categorisations, embracing the open-endedness and provisionality of forms. This manifests itself interactively in the six case studies, which have been chosen for their distinctness and diversity across the long twentieth century: the book begins with the early twentieth-century work of writer and artist Djuna Barnes, exploring her re-animation of sculptural and dramatic sources. It then turns to the late modernist artist and poet David Jones considering his use of the graphic and plastic arts in The Anathemata, and next, to the underappreciated mid-century poet F.T. Prince, whose work uncannily re-activates Michelangelo's poetry and sculpture. The second half of the book explores the collaborations of the canonical poet Ted Hughes with the publisher and artist Leonard Baskin during the 1970s; the innovative late twentieth-century poetry of Denise Riley who uses page space and embodied sound as a form of address; and, finally, the contemporary poet Paul Muldoon who has collaborated with photographers and artists, as well as ventriloquising nonhuman phenomena. The resulting unique study offers contemporary writers and readers a new understanding of literary, artistic, and nonhuman practices and shows the cultural importance of engaging with their messy co-dependencies. The book challenges critical methodologies that make a sharp division between the textual work and the extra-literary, and raises urgent questions about the status and autonomy of art and its social role.
