Introduction by Matthew Rohrer

"Noah Gershman writes entirely from inside the imagination. And what most of us have forgotten is that the imagination, despite its name, is perfectly real, as real as football… Reading these poems is like collaborating with him to reconstruct something we all vaguely remember doing before, though whether it was while we were asleep or while we were 7 remains unclear".

-Matthew Rohrer

"In these poems it's as if each snow globe has its own society.  Gershman reveals the private moments of the players in a weird history.  His monsters have style.  To read these poems is to imagine all new occupations.  These are twisted old tales, written in 1708, but found recently and published.  Step inside them and rejoice"

-Rachel Glaser

Insouciance is a book, of drawings and paintings that span a decade of America Martin's work, covering series, styles and ways of working that set this artist apart from her generation.

Mary Steenburgen, Academy Award winning actress wrote the introductino to the book and recalls the first time she visited America's studio, "I will never forget that moment. I was looking at a pure creative FORCE the like of which I had never seen."

Malcom White, Director of the Mississippi Arts Commission, wrote the book's forward and says, "Here, you may see what one person's soul looks like, what language, tone and voice love speaks. Here, between these pages, you can look at how this woman thinks, how she breaks and what the voices look like."

Traditionally, at the close of each year I choose my favorite piece and create a signed and numbered limited edition print.
 
This year, the piece entitled "Blue" is one of my personal favorites. The original, in a private collection, measures 48"x 66” and is painted with layers of Oil & Acrylic on Canvas.
 
Each 18”x24” print is archival quality, printed in Los Angeles and sold exclusively for Snail Press LA. The run is a limited edition of 10. The price is $500.00
