"The concept started here with a new irritation, a bite of memory, and a triggered reference as a glimpse, with a ghost of an old idea. FALSE FICTION FRACTURED FACT ALTERED can be read, continuing in both directions, and so has two beginnings and possibly no end, spiraling around, as do most of MRR’s bookworks, and can be read in more than one direction. So seeing is both forward and backward, up, down and around. Broken unity, and hesitations in continuity, are so often concretely expressed by the fragmented circle. But, the complete circle does convey the absence of interruption, and many circles, whole and part circles are here. There are fish in various places, which for decades are the metaphors for groups, family or specific personalities. The name of a fish, the type of fish, gives the clue to its reason for being in the space it occupies. Calligraphic marks can recount one side of abstract conversations. Sometimes the open folio is one thought, but most often the facing pages are in dialogue, sometimes in heated contrast and possibly interacting or playing with the pages before and those pages ahead. Calligraphic drawing marks, indecipherable language, Ideogrammatic language, asemic poetry, is the language without known language, before written language, the language beyond any language. Varieties of Ideogram languages/ asemic narratives, tell abstract stories, of course. Interacting within themselves and with the viewer/reader, the pages do ask- are we filled with drawings or poems? Altered and added marks, layered, have hints of depth, space, and sometimes of darkness. Images of objects, and new marks together with those from this earlier series, develop new groups of visual and asemic poems/drawings. 2018 computer collages are 90, or so, pages in this edition artists' book - FALSE FICTION FRACTURED FACT ALTERED."

A dynamic and liberating journey that takes us far beyond
the
neat and disciplined ranks of book typography into the
unknown.
—Simon
Morley, author of Seven Keys to Modern
Art
I’ve known Marilyn R.
Rosenberg’s work since the mid-80s and
have had the honor of
publishing her work as an issue of the visual
poetry magazine Xerolage. In the era of fact
facts and fake fakes
these gestures of pen,
pencil and brush expose the pre-cognitive
gestures of a mind
always moving thru a landscape populated by
the enigmas of
language yet to be understood. We open the
notebook to remember,
to project, to learn how to think again. The
never-ending story
never ends, or so we are led to believe. Believe
in the marks your hand
makes when no one is watching. They will
never lie.
