Description:

This is an exciting new work by Paul Murufas, author of Dystopian Codependent Syndrome (Mess Editions, 2014), and brought to you through the powers that be about it press. "I like this piece because it feels like a continuous piece and it feels distinctly like a Murufas piece. It has everything: longing, sex, drugs, politics, astrology, and a bunch of beautifully morbid and childlike collages." - Alexandra Naughton, Be About It editor Notes on the artwork: The three collages in this chapbook contain both found materials and writing/art in the author's own hand. The images and photographs used were poached from various sources. Special notations, in order of appearance: "not that long ago after all" Photos from internet image search "black tar heroin". The Narcotics Anonymous key tags were passed down to the author several years ago, per N.A tradition of "birthday chip" recipients gifting their key tags to a "newcomer" (roughly defined as anyone with less than 30 days clean, regardless of prior N.A attendance). "the cold planets and the small bodies" Found science books, Found greeting card. "the nihilist romantics" All photographs in this collage appear in We Are An Image From The Future: The Greek Revolt of December 2008 (AK Press) The collage's base is a Found Valentine's card.
