George Quasha

“The oneiropoeia of AINU DREAMS, involving a remarkable process of collaboration, transcription, and transformation, has generated these affectionate, quirky, and questioning pages. Fables retrieved from the borders of consciousness, dialogues with the infinite and what lies beyond. What a wild idea, what fun!”—Anselm Hollo. “There is a world of difference between the dream that is dreamed and the dream that is told. And maybe that difference is precisely the world we live in, the compromised latitudes between private dream and public telling. AINU DREAMS is an exciting book because it asks Who is dreaming? Who listens when who is telling? Negotiating issues of identity and absence, Quasha and Hasegawa weave and unweave subtle patterns of narrative—a story is not just what can be told, but also what can be distorted, transformed, forgotten!”—Robert Kelly.
