Letters to Goya, Poems, Titles and Letters to the Dead

Description Additional info Product reviews

From the Middleword by Kerry Doyle:  "This book presents two bodies of writing by James Magee. The first is "Letters to Goya," a collection of twenty-three typo-filled letters written on a manual typewriter from the Waikiki Trailer Park in Sweetwater, Texas. Turning the book around, you will find a second collection, a selected compilation of titles from Jim’s artwork, representing decades of both writing and performance by the artist and his multiple selves. Reading this book is not unlike the act of trying to understand Jim’s life. It requires twisting, turning, reorienting. You can enter at any point and find the story changing and growing as Jim plays conductor to a symphony of voices familiar and strange."

El Paso, Cinco Puntos Press, 2019. 1st edition. Softcover, FINE condition, SIGNED by Magee.
