Oonah Joslin and Michael Lee Johnson share a deep sensitivity to time’s passing and to the luminous threads that bind thought, memory, and mortality.

Joslin writes from the thresholds of being--between circuitry and soul, between what is known and what is felt. Her work moves with quiet precision through the mysteries of consciousness, giving voice to the ache of awareness and the strange persistence of light.

Johnson’s poetry, rich with recollection and emotional clarity, turns toward the human heart’s endurance: love and regret, the fragile sanctuaries of faith and memory, and the subtle power of small moments reclaimed from loss. Together, their poems form a dialogue between star and soil, imagination and experience. They remind us that art, at its truest, is a form of remembering--a way to hold the vanishing world a little longer, and to find in its fading edges a reason to go on believing in beauty.

From Shadowed Pages to the Silver Screen

Before horror flickered to life in the cinemas of the 1930s, it whispered through the ghostly tales of Bécquer, Nodier, Gautier, and their Romantic heirs. Michael Wooff’s elegant translations restore those early visions,of love turned spectral, of beauty shadowed by death, while Steve Zelnick’s new film reviews follow their echoes onto the screen. Together they trace the evolution of fear and fascination, from candlelit manuscripts to Technicolor nightmares, revealing how Europe’s haunted imagination found new form in Hollywood’s pre-Code age.
