ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: "Witness by Philip Lamantia"
Because the dark suit is worn it is worn warm with a black tie and a kiss at the head of the stairs When you hear the dark suit rip on the heart’s curb the hurt is big rose flesh caught on the orange woman’s buttons As you talk metropole monotone antique intelligence as you dress wounds by peyotl looming the boulevards women hunt their children from you who look out lit still inside of a dark suit

ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JEAN ARP "French sculptor, painter, collagist, printmaker and poet of German birth. The son of a German father and French Alsatian mother, he developed a cosmopolitan outlook from an early age and as a mature artist maintained close contact with the avant-garde throughout Europe. He was a pioneer of abstract art and one of the founders of Dada in Zurich, but he also participated actively in both Surrealism and Constructivism. While he prefigured junk art and the Fluxus movement in his incorporation of waste material, it was through his investigation of biomorphism and of chance and accident that he proved especially influential on later 20th-century art in liberating unconscious creative forces." © 2009 Oxford University Press SOURCE: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=11
ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: "Vulture" by Robinson Jeffers
I had walked since dawn and lay down to rest on a bare hillside Above the ocean. I saw through half-shut eyelids a vulture wheeling high up in heaven, And presently it passed again, but lower and nearer, its orbit narrowing, I understood then That I was under inspection. I lay death-still and heard the flight- feathers Whistle above me and make their circle and come nearer. I could see the naked red head between the great wings Bear downward staring. I said, 'My dear bird, we are wasting time here. These old bones will still work; they are not for you.' But how beautiful he looked, gliding down On those great sails; how beautiful he looked, veering away in the sea-light over the precipice. I tell you solemnly That I was sorry to have disappointed him. To be eaten by that beak and become part of him, to share those wings and those eyes-- What a sublime end of one's body, what an enskyment; what a life after death.

ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: "A Radio With Guts" by Charles Bukowski
it was on the 2nd floor on Coronado Street I used to get drunk and throw the radio through the window while it was playing, and, of course, it would break the glass in the window and the radio would sit there on the roof still playing and I'd tell my woman, "Ah, what a marvelous radio!" the next morning I'd take the window off the hinges and carry it down the street to the glass man who would put in another pane. I kept throwing that radio through the window each time I got drunk and it would sit there on the roof still playing- a magic radio a radio with guts, and each morning I'd take the window back to the glass man. I don't remember how it ended exactly though I do remember we finally moved out. there was a woman downstairs who worked in the garden in her bathing suit, she really dug with that trowel and she put her behind up in the air and I used to sit in the window and watch the sun shine all over that thing while the music played.
ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: "TRAILER OF THE DAY: INSIDE LLEWN DAVIS Inside Llewyn Davis is the new film from The Coen Brothers. It stars Oscar Isaac, Carrie Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, Garrett Hedlund, and Coen Brother regular John Goodman. It’s the story of folk singer Llewyn Davis and his attempt at being heard. The fact Oscar Isaac is starring in this is what really sold me. He did a film last year called “10 Years” in which he played a famous musician returning for his high school reunion. He has an awesome voice and actually has two tracks on the “10 Years” soundtrack. -Jake " Source: http://www.somethingobvious.net/post/45094427070/trailer-of-the-day-inside-llewn-davis
ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: ""Heaven" has different Signs—to me" by Emily Dickinson
"Heaven" has different Signs—to me— Sometimes, I think that Noon Is but a symbol of the Place— And when again, at Dawn, A mighty look runs round the World And settles in the Hills— An Awe if it should be like that Upon the Ignorance steals— The Orchard, when the Sun is on— The Triumph of the Birds When they together Victory make— Some Carnivals of Clouds— The Rapture of a finished Day— Returning to the West— All these—remind us of the place That Men call "paradise"— Itself be fairer—we suppose— But how Ourself, shall be Adorned, for a Superior Grace— Not yet, our eyes can see— Emily Dickinson
