Brooklyn Arts
Press
Brooklyn Arts Press, BAP, is a small literary press devoted to publishing
art monographs and poetry books by emerging artists. Experimentation,
innovation, and devotion to formal and historical aspects of art
are all honored here, as these traits supply the means by which all
works are created and diverge. We hope to serve the community by
placing books of varying aesthetics side by side, and by subverting
the current notion that artistic camps exist in vacuums, apart from
the culture in which they reside and apart from other camps. Language
and imagery will be used to whatever ends, by whatever means, by
the voices that manipulate them, which are by nature numerous and
diverse.
BAP was founded in 2005 as an organization designed to publish emerging
poets and artists. Our staff is comprised of unpaid loyalists, whose
editorial resolve, time, effort, and expertise allows BAP
to publish 5-6 new books a year.

New
Art Monograph
Anne Beck
state
state began with whimsical pictures & apocalyptic visions of
a high-tech synthetic mechanized culture. It became loose social
history & critique. The original manuscript is a handmade artist’s
book made of casein, acrylic, gouache, watercolor, ink, graphite,
collaged bits of etching & drypoint on watercolor paper, and
bound in found printed suede. Anne Beck sees her work as a visual
journal inspired by latent structures, indiscernible figures, forms
that wax and wane, and images and thoughts that coalesce and dissipate.
Underlying her work is a belief that the personal and universal are
not quite mutually exclusive, a reality that is vital to our ability
to communicate and connect. |
New
Poetry Book
Chris O. Cook
To Lose & to
Pretend
“[Cook's book] is evidence
of a fine mind at work, a collection of poems that never settles
for the obvious. His work probes the apathy and alienation of his
generation, wielding poetics like a cudgel to extract the essential
from the incoherence of pop culture vapidity that we have accepted
as our metaphor. Startlingly honest, unafraid of humor, these poems
force you to sit down and take notice.”
