September 11
On this anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, we present some original etchings and poems by Michael Kuch from the 2002 Falling to Earth, a letterpress artist's book issued in Northampton, Massachusetts by Kuch's Double Elephant Press in an edition of 110 copies. The book is a reaction to the terrifying and tragic collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and the ensuing bombing campaign by the United States. Kuch responds with fourteen poems and twenty-one intaglios. The book's imagery uses the metaphor of falling to examine the human and spiritual costs of violence. Mythological and biblical narratives are evoked in a modern framework to provide perspective on the then raw and recent events. Using the metaphor of falling to evoke the human and spiritual costs of violence, the volume is also frequented by angels, giving a vantage from above.
The copper-plate etchings were printed by Michael Kuch and by Arthur Larson under the artist's tutelage, with Larson printing the text. David Wolfe of Wolfe Editions cast and set the fourteen point Emerson type. The paper is an abaca & cotton blend handmade for this project by Shannon Brock at Carriage House Paper in Brooklyn, New York. A prototype of the binding (below) was constructed by Shoshannah Wineburg and carried out by Barry Spence for this edition. Our copy is another gift from the estate of our friend Dennis Bayuzick.

CREED III (2023)
Grade: C
Very average plot/script/story. Literally the only thing that saves this movie is #JonathanMajors performance. Too bad he fucked up, he's a unique, powerful presence.

📽️ Love and Monsters (2020)
A stupid title, giant bugs, and a convoluted backstory— all things that should make a bad movie. But this is not a bad movie! Dylan O’Brien was great in this role. There are a lot of plot holes and some pretty ridiculous storylines, but it’s a really fun movie to watch anyway. I really don’t understand what made a movie that should be really bad, so good, other than the fact that you can tell the actors enjoyed making it and that comes through in their performances. I still can’t say it’s the best movie I’ve ever seen, but I highly recommend it.
Sex/nudity: 3/10 (making out, kissing, some talk of sex, a couple has sex in another room and can be faintly heard)
Language: 2/10 (several instances of mild language, nothing stronger than sh*t)
Violence: 3/10 (most of the violence is toward the giant bugs; there is one scene with leeches that’s pretty gross)
Overall rating: 8/10
