Jane Joyce just published her fifth book in as many years, and bookworms can get all over the new tome starting today.
With Portrait of the Artist — available online (and in about a month in physical form) at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and www.buybooksontheweb.com — the local writer, musician, and downtowner has departed a bit from her previous novelistic works that include Chicanery Absolved (2006) and her three-volume series The Totality of All Being.
According to Joyce, the first half of Portrait is composed of “raw, moody, sometimes shocking and humorous” poetry, while the latter parts include two short stories as well as two essays that the author describes as “philosophical explorations into human consciousness and potential.”
In the future, Joyce plans to continue the publishing hot streak with a new read in 2011. She’s also getting close to releasing Memeplex, the thirteen-song debut album by Scrupulous, Joyce’s duo project with Bodhisattva percussionist Shane Sittig.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
