OLIVER ANNOUNCES PUBLICATION OF
THE BOOK OF TRANSPARENCIES
POEMS BY
GREGORY MARSZAL
"Find love, keep it safe and anonymous;
spurn poison, drink water, sing to your chains. . ."
| |
 IN 2010, GREGORY MARSZAL PUBLISHED HIS FIRST
book with Oliver, and readers of that volume know the origin of its curious name. In the deep silence of a late-night poem, the speaker talks to the moon, saying "Moon, I caught you in my bathroom. / I was walking past, your silky fingers / were waiting on / the window sill." So late is the hour that no one else is awake: "All the others are asleep except the crickets; / all the windows are dark; your limbs set white / fire to the roofs."
And in the silence of that "white fire," the man listens as "You and the trees talk together," until he ends with these thoughts:
You make me sad with stories
of dead forests and beings;
but I am glad you waited
for me;
you tell me what a good
thing it is that I am not
dead.
These are some of the things readers will find in Marszal's poetry: Words that speak in silence, time that vanishes and yet is infinite, nothingness and somethingness that are one. By means of a poetic expression that's powerful, clear, and endlessly inventive, Marszal journeys to the very core of the experience of existing, travels also to its edges. The result is poetry that matters: Poetry that does not exist merely for show or style, not poetry that aims only to provide comfort through the familiar. This is poetry that takes us to places that, lacking it, we would not even know existed and could not possibly see, hear, or visit:
There is a man with two stumps
for legs singing in his wheelchair;
he is joyfully waving his hands
to music;
he is sparkling in sunbeams that pour
through the ferry terminal window.
There are flakes of prehistoric light
buried in his body; he prays to the
soaking dark,
there is no weeping.
I met a man once,
a man dauntless before
fate
and death.
He said,
Find love, keep it safe and anonymous;
spurn poison, drink water, sing to your chains;
be kind, it is true, the holy fire burns in everyone;
it burns in everything,
believe me,
it is true.
GREGORY MARSZAL, AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF TRANSPARENCIES
Marszal is a native of New York City who now lives with his wife of twenty-two years in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the author of the previous book of poetry, I Am Not Dead. |

OLIVER'S PUBLISHER CONTINUES ESSAY ON DR. JUDY WOOD
AND DIRECTED FREE-ENERGY TECHNOLOGY ON 9/11 |
IT'S A MATTER NOT OF THEORY OR conjecture but of scientific fact that 9/11 consisted, among other things, of a demonstration of the power of directed free-energy technology in weaponized form. Dr. Judy Wood's landmark book, Where Did the Towers Go? The Evidence of Directed Free-Energy Technology on 9/11, has been out now for over two years and, in that time, no part of it has been successfully refuted. The book's case is scientifically and empirically watertight. The form of energy known as free energy was well understood by Nicola Tesla (1856-1943). After Tesla's death, however, continued experimentation was undertaken only under the greatest military and state secrecy, while public knowledge was so rigorously suppressed that even today most people consider the very idea of free energy to be a matter purely of science fiction. The demonstration of its use on 9/11, however, was indelible for everyone and offered proof that this kind of energy, in weaponized form, is in the possession of undeterminate but highly authoritative powers that chose to demonstrate that fact to the entire world.
The integrity, irrefutability, and solidity of Dr. Wood's work, however, as well as its importance, have not protected it from programs of denial, disinformation, falsehood, and smear. In light of the seemingly indefatigable attack-and-disinformation campaign mounted against it, Oliver publisher Eric Larsen has embarked on writing a series of essays to defend Dr. Wood, expose her malefactors, and examine the significance of the book.
The first of the series was called "Dr. Judy Wood and the Future of the Earth, Part I," and the and the second, "Dr. Judy Wood and the Future of the Earth, Part II." These appeared, in May and June, in the important online magazine, Intrepid Report. Part III of the essay appeared there also, in July, while Part IV came out in September. Part V is expected soon.
Larsen has spoken out before in defense of Dr. Wood and her scientific work. He wrote a Foreword to Dr. Wood's book that can be read here, along with Dr. Wood's own and highly important Author's Preface.
Larsen also wrote a review of Where Did the Towers Go, as well as the essays "Serpent Songs in America" and "Delusional America and 9/11," all of which appeared in Intrepid Report.
Readers interested in the questions taken up in these various pieces of writing can find more examination of them in Larsen's 2011 book, The Skull of Yorick: The Emptiness of American Thinking at a Time of Grave Peril--Studies in the Cover-up of 9/11.
The book is available also in Kindle and Nook editions.
