We asked four new writers to compose aesthetic statements, and compiled these along with excerpts of their forthcoming poetry and prose. The writers in TrenchArt: Material pose aesthetic questions that used to be basic — what is beauty, what is mystery, what is human, what is absolutely necessary.

TrenchArt: Material is book number 1/0 in a five book series. Each book contains one of five original Stephanie Taylor designs inspired from Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Second Fig.” Line the books up and their back covers form a story of Chinese cooking.

Available in box-set only; set includes TrenchArt: Material, Dies: A Sentence, Grammar Of The Cage, Requiem, and A Story of Witchery.
