Skin Passion

Poems and Paintings by Frank Moore

By: Frank Moore

Frank Moore's second book of poetry, the beautiful full-color SKIN PASSION, is jam-packed both with his widely acclaimed poems and with striking reproductions of his oil and digital paintings, which have been exhibited around the U.S. and Canada. Moore's powerful and inspiring poetry dates from the early 1990s through 2012, while his big, bright oils date back to 1965, when he first started painting in high school with a brush attached to a helmet. His digital paintings date from the mid-'90s, when he started painting with the mouse keys and his head pointer on the computer. The cover art features an arresting blow-up of one of these vibrant rich digital pieces, “Toni”. As Moore wrote for the first edition of Skin Passion: “You don't even need drugs!” Moore was notorious for exploring and expanding freedom, magic, tribal reality, intimacy and deep human connection beyond the accepted limits, sex and love, play and passion, censorship in all its forms, and exploding the concepts and taboos that fragment and isolate us from each other, from ourselves and from unlimited possibilities. The poems in this collection reflect this full spectrum. Some of his poems have been seen as political, addressing the current state of things, but these pieces always bring the issues of the moment into a universal context (see Boundaries Kill, Locked In/Locked Out and That Goddamn Weed of Life). In the same way, his tribute poems to friends, students, and fellow artists take us deeply through the personal into the essence of being human together. In poems like “Falling Into Skin”, erotic human surrender opens vast intimate worlds within worlds. Many of the poems express this common theme, that everything comes from within the “smallness” of human intimacy and “being enough” for each other. “Within small caves/ of love,/ Personal trust,/ And passion/ Beyond taboo.” (from the poem Fuse). Moore's paintings take us on the same journey in colorful oils and with digital brush, pulling us into the same smallness: images from childhood, monsters, superheroes, nudes, and even his yearly xmas cards! Moore's xmas poem is included, “The Season of Hidden Hope”, which was performed for many years on KPFA in Berkeley. Skin Passion also features a number of poems that condense Moore's basic approach to life and art into a poetic infusion. Poems like Tribal Performance, Art of Reshaping Reality, and River Vision show Moore's deep and uncompromising vision of human liberation and art as a “battle against fragmentation”."one of the most heroic poets we've been privileged to know."– Jack Hirschman, poet“Frank, This is a masterpiece! Someone make a giant print of it and put in the museum of modern art immediately.”– Annie Sprinkle re: Frank Moore's digital painting, “Falling In Love”“Frank Moore's poetry is a beautiful set of contradictions, full of vulnerability and an irresistible strength, a mixture of frailty and titanium will ... a testament by a man not afraid to acknowledge imperfections, both in himself and in the physical world, but still standing by the human soul with an unshakable loyalty.”– Robert L. Penick, Editor Chance Magazine Press“I can't find words for how deep a level you take the painting art form to. They are so simple, but deep, like a childhood memory. Rough and raw but at the same time erotic and full of love.” – Mickie Monster, artist Sweden“I especially liked your poem 'That Goddamn Weed of Life'. You have an interesting ability for being tuned into 'the pulse of the times,' things that people everywhere are thinking and feeling...."– Joe Verrilli, poet, small press publisherBoth editions published by Inter-Relations.

Chapped Lap

By: Frank Moore

Chapped Lap is Frank Moore's first slim book of poetry, featuring poetry from the 1990s and 2000 (published in 2000). Originally a xeroxed and stapled “chapbook”, as the title suggests, this small collection is dense with pieces that have become classics. Not only did Frank perform these poems for years, but they were also often used in his interactive performances, read by audience members, and read by fellow poets, always adding new levels to the frame in which they were performed. Two of the pieces, “out of isolation” and “wrapping and rocking”, were both written earlier – 1986. These deep evocative pieces are the roots of what would become decades of Frank's evolving performances. “out of isolation” pulled the audience into the universe of a character named Jim, institutionalized and severely disabled, exploring what happens when a nurse, Jane, is assigned to treat him. Frank described it as “a surreal erotic examination of an intimate relationship of need.”“I only wish I was not the only soft fingers...I wish there was another soft fingers in my universe of the mat...someone to share in the bright colors and sweet sounds...someone I could laugh with, cry with, move with, share good feeling with...someone who would be with me on the mat, touch me not like touching my pillow, not like pulling things out of me or to make me different. But just because we are the only soft fingers in the universe of the mat.”“wrapping and rocking” in performance gave people the direct experience of oneness and intimacy: “the two nude figures sit in / time and space. / one upon the other. / rocking together. / rocking in their cave. two magic figures / rocking together against time. / rocking back through time. / back and forth. mother rocking her baby. / rocking against sickness and tears. / rocking back into love and peace.”“wrapping and rocking” is illustrated with great black and white performance photographs, and Chapped Lap is further illustrated with liquid erotic pen & ink drawings by LaBash, a few paintings by Moore, and other photographs.The poems in this first collection reflect a full spectrum of Moore's passions: exploring and expanding freedom, intimacy and deep human connection beyond the accepted limits, sex and love, play and passion, and exploding the censoring concepts and taboos that fragment and isolate us from each other, from ourselves and from unlimited possibilities. His tribute poems to his mom, Connie, to a student, and to a fellow artist take us deep through the personal into the essence of being human together. And poems like “their cuddling cocoon” and “rings of orgasms” explore the “smallness” of erotic human surrender and intimacy, while opening into the universal “heart of the universe”.But it is poems such as “i came to play”, “tortures”, “art is a bitch” and “mutation is evolution” that have become “signature” pieces for Moore's lusty way of looking at life, living life, enjoying life, his deep and uncompromising vision of human liberation, and his seeing art/life as a passion, an addiction … about surrendering and following. A lot loaded into a sexy small package!Published by Inter-Relations.

Meaning and Saying: Essays in the Philosophy of Language

Meaning and Saying: Essays in the Philosophy of Language

Second Edition

By: Frank B. Ebersole

[Frank Ebersole is a philosopher] whose contribution to philosophy . . . is the greatest of anyone this [the 20th] century, especially in the areas of philosophy of language, theory of knowledge, and perception.from Wittgenstein, Empiricism, and Language by John W. Cook (Oxford University Press, 1999). Meaning and Saying has five chapters that address philosophical problems about language and knowledge, and one essay (chapter 6: "Postscript") that provides insights into some of Frank Ebersoles basic ideas about philosophy. The five essays let you participate in his unique struggles to come to terms with such questions as: Is the meaning of a word central to the philosophy of language? Is the meaning of a word the part the word plays in speech acts? How does the action of making sounds fit into speech? Are conditions for knowing something the same as conditions required for saying one knows something? Should philosophers still be doing conceptual analysis? Can G. E. Moore really refute the philosophical skeptic by displaying his hand and saying "I know this is my hand"? This and its companion volume, Language and Perception, are not just other philosophy books about the philosophy of language. In both books Ebersole, by carefully using examples, convincingly shows that the problems are products of philosophical pictures. The examples also make the pictures less compelling. How the Second Edition Differs from the First Edition This edition differs from the first edition (University Press of America, 1979) in several ways. Two more essays are included: "Saying and Meaning" (chapter 4) is a revised version of an essay originally published in Ludwig Wittgenstein: Philosophy and Language, eds. Alice Ambrose and Morris Lazerowitz (George Allen and Unwin, London and Humanities Press, New York, 1972), pp. 186221. "Saying What You Know" (chapter 5) was first read as a paper in Coos Bay, Oregon on May 26, 1996 at the conference, "Where the Action Is." A modified version of the paper was then published in Philosophical Investigations, vol. 23, no. 3, July 2000. Now it has been expanded and revised. Material that was formerly part of the preface is now revised and placed as chapter 6 at the end, entitled Postscript. The text is improved. Throughout the book, Ebersole has made corrections, stylistic improvements, and changed wording to remove ambiguities. Summary Language and logic provide philosophers with a dual problem: (1) How is language connected to the world and (2) how can philosophers use language and logic with care so as not to contaminate their own thinking? Speech acts and the use of sentences are thought to be better ways for philosophers to understand language and logic. But do they do the job? Preface In the early 1920s philosophers argued that philosophy should be philosophy of language; but this was just old wine in new bottles; then the Wittgensteinian revolution occurred, which identified meaning as the use of words and thereafter identified the meaning of a word with the use of a word. The book addresses some problems with this revolution. Chapter 1: Meaning and Use

Automobile Manufacturers of Cleveland and Ohio, 1864-1942

By: Frank E. Wrenick,Elaine V. Wrenick

This comprehensive look at the heyday of automobile manufacturing in Ohio chronicles the region's early prominence in an industry that was inventing itself. More than 550 Ohio manufacturers are covered, from Abbott to Zent. There are familiar marques, such as Jordan, Baker, Peerless, and White of Cleveland, along with Packard, Stutz, Crosley and Willys. Less well-known and forgotten automotive ventures, such Auto-Bug, Darling and Ben-Hur, are documented, although many never got beyond the concept stage. Attention is given to the various ancillary industries, services and organizations which nurtured, developed with and, in many cases, survived the decline of Cleveland's automotive industry.

A History of American Magazines, Volume III: 1865-1885

By: Frank Luther Mott

The first volume of this work, covering the period from 1741-1850, was issued in 1931 by another publisher, and is reissued now without change, under our imprint. The second volume covers the period from 1850 to 1865; the third volume, the period from 1865 to 1885. For each chronological period, Mr. Mott has provided a running history which notes the occurrence of the chief general magazines and the developments in the field of class periodicals, as well as publishing conditions during that period, the development of circulations, advertising, payments to contributors, reader attitudes, changing formats, styles and processes of illustration, and the like. Then in a supplement to that running history, he offers historical sketches of the chief magazines which flourished in the period. These sketches extend far beyond the chronological limitations of the period. The second and third volumes present, altogether, separate sketches of seventy-six magazines, including The North American Review, The Youth's Companion, The Liberator, The Independent, Harper's Monthly, Leslie's Weekly, Harper's Weekly, The Atlantic Monthly, St. Nicholas, and Puck. The whole is an unusual mirror of American civilization.

Art of a Shaman

By: Frank Moore

Originally a lecture Frank Moore presented at N.Y.U. in 1990, Art of a Shaman explores performance and art in general terms as being a magical way to effect change in the world. Using concepts from modern physics, mythology and psychology, Moore looks at performance as an art of melting action, of ritualistic shamanistic doings/playings. By using his career and life as a "baseline", he explores this dynamic playing within the context of reality shaping. Art of a Shaman is filled with performance photos in full color, capturing the feeling of being at the performances! All in the size of a graphic novel. BUT DON'T BUY IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FEEL GOOD AND GET TURNED ON!Both editions published by Inter-Relations.
