Books: Mark Gonzales “Instead Of Eros Avenged”
As Nieves always continues to churn out quality publications, their latest effort ups the ante. “Instead Of Eros Avenged” is a new paperback book from Mark Gonzales, chronicling a number of photographs he has taken with his cell phone.
“Using Jerry Chadwick’s poem Instead of Eros Avenged as it’s jumping-off point (“Started to type / the first chapter / where green eyes / press into / grey eyes / like ivy on granite / and remembered / Lorca shot in spain / Richard Heakin beaten / to death outside / a tuscon gay bar / and decided / NO / there have been / enough deaths / already”) the pictures celebrate an improvised life with Gonzales posing with fans, training cats, hanging out with family and friends, doing wallrides, and even performing a boneless one sans socks.”
You can get the book from the Nieves store or from Amazon.
