Rituals Performed in the Absence of Ganymede is a new book by Mike Corrao. More info coming soon
"I don't know what to make of myself, I see, I repent, I perform the s ance, I birth the object, the
new object-to be of a larger collection-and then there is nothing, I give birth to the greater landscape, I die, I return, I resist my own inertia, I grow and shrink again, my body feels tainted, like that of a leper or a plague victim, but I remain,
and I give birth to these somethings, and they pour out of me, fusing into the collected subject or lying dormant, something wants to come out of me, something abstract, a string of words, but I don't know what they're supposed to look or feel like, what they're supposed to encapsulate."
