Oonah Joslin and Michael Lee Johnson share a deep sensitivity to time’s passing and to the luminous threads that bind thought  memory  and mortality.

Joslin writes from the thresholds of being--between circuitry and soul  between what is known and what is felt. Her work moves with quiet precision through the mysteries of consciousness  giving voice to the ache of awareness and the strange persistence of light.

Johnson’s poetry  rich with recollection and emotional clarity  turns toward the human heart’s endurance: love and regret  the fragile sanctuaries of faith and memory  and the subtle power of small moments reclaimed from loss. Together  their poems form a dialogue between star and soil  imagination and experience. They remind us that art  at its truest  is a form of remembering--a way to hold the vanishing world a little longer  and to find in its fading edges a reason to go on believing in beauty.

From Shadowed Pages to the Silver Screen

Before horror flickered to life in the cinemas of the 1930s  it whispered through the ghostly tales of Bécquer  Nodier  Gautier  and their Romantic heirs. Michael Wooff’s elegant translations restore those early visions of love turned spectral  of beauty shadowed by death  while Steve Zelnick’s new film reviews follow their echoes onto the screen. Together they trace the evolution of fear and fascination  from candlelit manuscripts to Technicolor nightmares  revealing how Europe’s haunted imagination found new form in Hollywood’s pre-Code age.
