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.
