New book (with cover art): THE GIALLO CANVAS - ART, EXCESS AND HORROR CINEMA

The cover art has now been confirmed for my forthcoming book THE GIALLO CANVAS: ART, EXCESS AND HORROR CINEMA, now on pre-order!

Publisher blurb: “Beloved among cult horror devotees for its signature excesses of sex and violence, Italian giallo cinema is marked by switchblades, mysterious killers, whisky bottles and poetically overinflated titles. A growing field of English-language giallo studies has focused on aspects of production, distribution and reception. This volume explores an overlooked yet prevalent element in some of the best known gialli—an obsession with art and artists in creative production, with a particular focus on painting. The author explores the appearance and significance of art objects across the masterworks of such filmmakers as Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Sergio Martino, Umberto Lenzi, Michele Soavi, Mario Bava and his son Lamberto.”

Poems by Kay Sage:

AN OBSERVATION

The more I wonder,

the longer I live,

how much water

can stay in a sieve

THE WINDOW

My room has two door

and one window

One door is red and the other is grey.

I cannot open the red door;

the grey door does not interest me.

Having no choice I shall lock them both

and look out of the window.

CHINOISERIE

English, French, Italian,

I can write in all of these,

but, at best, they are translations.

I think in Chinese.

FRAGRANCE

I feel unexpectedly

delicious fragrance

a perfume full of memories

of youth, of spring

which seems to follow my smile

the motion of my hands.

I look in vain

I cannot find it

what can it be?

And then

in a flash, I’ve got it

I know

that’s it

that fragrance

is the memory

of me.
