Stunning Lost Alphabet book, dra ihop Aztek glypher, After the Aughts, Marty Esworthy


A cascade of world lyrics.
Former noise-band gonzo, founder of the
New East Coast Literary Wave, Marty
Esworthy captures verbo-viz in a bottle
in a captivating new tome.

After the Aughts merges
graphics and poetry
to conjure illuminating non-sense
for a new millennium.
John Catalano, Marty Esworthy performing on the 2018 Lost Alphabet summer promotional tour.
Truly a requirement for any modern aesthete's
library. Esworthy's words come alive like
few versifiers. This poetry, coupled 
with esoteric and vibrant art, delivers a
tour-de-force of the human experience.
New world, new look.
Marty Esworthy and Erika Eberly, on the road for After the Aughts
In twenty years, all-- well, most poetry books
will look like this:
Going from "Fer Chrissake, Just 'Cos You
Don't Dream in Colour
Doesn't Mean We Can't Be Friends!"
to "Istanbul Not" will take you
backwards through half the book and
forward through life, and
I really don't think that I can recommend
any better way
to enjoy this art than to simply hold it close
and let the eyes wander gleefully.
Life is for the living.
