Classic Books

The Conquest of Fear is a very personal work by an author who had first-hand knowledge of the subject matter.  From a very early age Basil King suffered from poor health and eyesight, and had to live with the very real possibility that he would go completely blind and die young.  These debilitating fears plagued him throughout his childhood, and would return to haunt him in adulthood at crucial moments.  As King sought a reprieve from his suffering, he became aware that the answer lay not in physical cure or endurance, but in spiritual harmony with God.  The Conquest of Fear is an explanation of King's hard-won insights, which are as relevant today as when the book was written in 1921.

Poetry. Art. In 1992, Basil King began his long documentary prose/poem/media work, Mirage. Mirage paintings, watercolors, and pastels were exhibited for the first time at Gotham Book Mart in 1994, where King also read from his texts. THE COMPLETE MINIATURES is the next installment in King's Mirage. "This intimate yet ranging reflection mirrors its author in myriad and remarkable ways. Drawings compliment memories and bring us into a unique space where what is known can meld with what one is. Pure Magic!"-Robert Creeley.

<p>Poems. Art. These poetic devotions and intentions, accompanied by whimsical drawings whose apparent simplicity is belied by shadings of a vastly complex subtext, pay homage to various painters: Pollack, Seurat, Vermeer, Picasso, Gorky, Morandi, Degas, Manet, Monet, Van Gogh, Rothko, de Kooning, Guston, O'Keefe, Gaugin, among others. Ranging from intensely serious to intensely playful, the texts create an artistic lineate that allows Basil King to engage in his own explorations using these well-known imagemakers as a ground from which to create new work.</p>

Poetry

Poetry. Amiri Baraka calls MIRAGE "A fine book--important on painting." Basil King attended Black Mountain College as a teenager in the 1950s, and completed his apprenticeship as an abstract expressionist painter in San Francisco and New York. Since that time, his art has taken a different turn, reaching through abstraction back to surrealism and forward into a new approach to the figure. Although he did not begin to write regularly until 1986, an involvement with poetry has always been part of his life, first in doing art to accompany poems in books and magazines, later as a book artist, now as a poet/painter. Among his many books, THE EARTH SUITE by Carl Rakowsi, with drawings by Basil King, is available from SPD.
