Night,Sleep, and the Dreams of Lovers revists Thomas Wolfe's Asheville 100years later. It is now a city of art and artists, and the people who see art and artists as away to become later day Medici, and put their mark on the world. What the history booksleave out is that these people are fully sexual and fully impassioned. . . and sometimestalk to their cats.

The art of Phil Kurz shows the history of Phil's journey into the art and writing world. Published by the Black Mountain Press as the exhibition catalog for Phil Kurz's opening exhibition at the Flood Fine Art Center in 2018. Written by Cynthia Hatfield, designed by Cynthia A. Potter.

"Asheville activist DeWayne Barton's resume reads like a template of commitment to and advocacy for his community, so it's not surprising that when his alter ego BLove collects his poetry together in the volume, Return to Burton Street, he produces a taut, jazzy, hard-knuckled drumbeat of personal and historical indignation. Consumerist society, colonialism, and still radically not post-racial America come in for some hard scrutiny. The street style is suited to the direct urgency of the matter, low on trope, high on grit, a known and necessary song sung to a familiar tune, all the better to dance to, as many of us will." -David Hopes Hopes is the author of Bird Songs of the Mesozoic.
