Skeleton Keys is a hybrid work consisting of short pieces connected by memory, association, obsession, and language. Visual phenomena, thinking, writing, modes of apprehending the world. What we consider in the predawn hours, what we forget in harsh daylight. Personal mythology, tangential observation, shopping lists of the mind, an immersion in one’ s surroundings, a separation from one’ s surroundings. Written in a language that partakes of the character of poetry and prose. Insistent, subliminal, insidious, intentional.

About the Author

Steven Fraccaro is the author of two novels, Dark Angels and Gainsborough’ s Revenge, as well as of a book of essays, The Recalcitrant Scrivener. As the editor of Renegade Magazine, 19781980, he published writing by Walter Abish, Ron Silliman, Kathy Acker, Peter Seaton, and Constance DeJong, among others. He has also written the text for NY Pier 34, a book of photographs by Javier Domingo documenting the clandestine 1980s art project that was ultimately demolished. Skeleton Keys is the first in a series of works that are intended to inhabit the space between poetry and prose, fiction and nonfiction.
