Unlikely 2.0


   I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? ...we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. —Franz Kafka

Peter SchwartzPeter says, "I paint to transcend everyday life. When I paint I am 100% occupied, so in a very real sense I inhabit an entirely different dimension. It is that total commitment that allows me to make work that at least pleases my own very judgmental eye."

Peter Schwartz is the editor of eye and the associate art editor of Mad Hatters' Review. His paintings have been published on such sites as HiNgE, Sutble Tea, and Mastodon Dentist and the print journals Orange Coast Review, Whiskey Island, and the Louisiana Review. He has poems in such journals as Porcupine, Vox, and Sein und Werden, and fiction on such sites as Pindeldyboz and Dogmatika. His last exhibition was through Aesthetica Magazine and featured a projection of one of his digital paintings on a busy street in York, UK. Currently he is working on paintings for an exhibit at the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in Chelsea NYC. His own site is http://www.sitrahahra.com/.
