In a few short years, Isaac Layman (b. 1977) has established himself as an exceptional talent. In Paradise, Layman expands his practice of constructing large-scale, psychologically charged photographic-based visions of the spaces and objects found in his Seattle home. His most recent photographic constructions explore the desire to fabricate escapes, destinations, and monuments and the role discontent plays in driving the need to create imagined perfection.

Fiction. Possibly the Northwest's first, full-fledged mock biography of a fictional CEO who created a coffee empire and sipped the soul out of a city. Authored by a twice removed hand, or, the truth laid bare through a series of fictions.

Poetry. "WE WERE WEREWOLVES uses constraints to open up the English language to deeper and darker humours than any your basic run-of-the-mill prosaic verse can begin to imagine. The insistent permutations of alphabetical sounds, the severe word love run through film noir-based tonalities, &amp; the small-to-epic scale of reordering found in so many of these Nuferian arrangements lay bare a gleeful prosody of the nervous system. Pleasure level herein: mighty high"--Anselm Berrigan.

Tangram Fury Bible Book (Tangram Fury Puzzle Book)

In this rueful tale, written under a simple but pervasive formal constraint, Olympic gold medal winner Ken Honochick and his girlfriend take a cross-country road trip to revisit his brief moment of triumph and his subsequent long haul on the promotions circuit. The result is a smart, flirtatious tour-de-force that’s as funny as it is inventive. Under all the comic gusto and technical virtuosity, however, there’s also some penetrating thought on our country’s obsession with private foibles and public image, individual achievement and the pressure to cash in on it.
