The Black Table: A project

This blog is established to help potential contributors visualize and understand my hopes and intentions surrounding the development of an erotic art photography book project called The Black Table. In simplest terms I want to match pieces of poetry and prose with a substantial set of erotic photographs featuring female semi/nude images. My table is the visual tie that binds. The written pieces I'm pursuing span a broad range, from ancient to modern, funny to achingly deep, dirty to sweetly flirtatious... and everything in between. I hope to combine both a diverse range of visual looks in the imagery with with a wildly diverse set of written work. I believe if the pairings are thoughtful and wise we have the chance to produce something wonderful and lasting. For obvious reasons pieces collected from the public domain make life easier but I also seek permissions to include a broad range of re-published work from living poets and authors, or of some who have not yet passed the 100 year barrier into the public domain.

This blog is, at base level, a place for contributors to see what some of the images may be. I welcome your input and any and all questions.
