“Igor’s “Illuminated Book” is like a new genre.  It is a wonderful ekphrastic expression; a fusion of the arts.” — Poet Mel Takahara “His collection Is She Available? has the feel of an artifact from the near future – a seminal work of a new genre-fusing poetry, graphic art, music, and animation.” —(San Diego’s) City Beat “Is SHE Available?” is an experiment, and reading it feels more like an act of discovery… nonetheless, there’s a thrill to scrolling through its pages. It’s an ambitious step toward what digital media can (and will) be.”   —The Chicago Tribune IS SHE AVAILABLE? is a genre-fusing web-nurtured collaboration between Igor Goldkind and 27 artists, sculptors and musicians from the world of Comics, Fantasy, Fine Art and Jazz. Each artist interprets the written work of their choosing. This illuminated manuscript is a contemporary Dante’s Divine Comedy; It uses poetry as emotional signposts in an overarching story of one man’s response to the themes of Death and Loss, Sex and Love, and Modern American & Jewish identity while caring for his demented 97 year old mother… This is a road map to a journey from the depths of depression to the peaks of illumination.

Meandering reflection on the nature of expanded consciousness and psychedelics. my experience in my early use of psychedelics was that my arrival to the infinite moment at the true core of ‘normal’ reality is that the experience of the fact of eternity made it (nearly), impossible to reintegrate myself into this new insight and wisdom with the rest of my life.

The comparison between the European and US attitudes toward art is insightful

The connection forms when a young person approaches me after a reading. They genuinely express their appreciation for the ideas and images I put in their heads. These ideas changed the way they saw things. This is when I realize my work is effective. And it is worth a million times more than some contrived award or accolade. There is no greater enjoyment of humanity that I can muster.

A tribute to Allen Ginsberg’s Howl

An incantation for Allen Ginsberg The moon before the Ginsberg morning.Negro skies before a christian dawnMy voice itches for cigarettes and Tibetan hymns.I want the circuit of Blake, Whitman, Ginsberg and DylanTo course through my limbs Electrocuting my fears and lame desires for acceptance.I want to feel holier than a cantorOr a Muslim call to prayer.
