Tantra Bensko News!

Unlikely StoriesA new genre: Lucid fiction. Read Tantra's article and story at Unlikely Stories.

Tantra Bensko NewsTantra Bensko's literature has won awards before, such as the Academy of American Poet's Award and the Iowa Journal of Literary Studies Award, and now she has won the Cezanne's Carrot Editor's Prize for her short story, The Boy who was a Floating Flower. It exemplifies what she calls Lucid Fiction, addressing the various levels of reality.

  • Read Tantra's article in retort magazine calling for a whole new genre of literature. lucid fiction.
  • Visit Tantra's new online storefront for her new LucidPlay Publications.
    • She has two new books now with it. METAPORTALS and Tantric MetaPortals. She has a calendar too, and about to make another one for it. She also has a video that goes along with it coming out any day, called Tantra with the Whole World. Eventually, she plans to publish an anthology of Lucid Fiction. Tantra really encourages people to consider buying her art books. "I put so much effort, not to mention money and time, into making my art available in an affordable consoladated format, liminal art, ineffable, enigmantic, abstract but suggestive of the natural world, doorways, tunnels of enlightenment, furry entities, lit up consciousness, portals to other parts of the self beyond the rational conscious beta brainwave mind."
  • Tantra has art accepted to CameraArts Showcase Edition, a big deal book.
  • Tantra's art is showing regularly at Aspect Gallery in San Francisco.
  • Rose and Thorn Magazine nominated Tantra's poem Meditation on the Breath for the Pushcart Prize.
  • Tantra has a poem, !Drum! coming up in Unlikely Stories, and other poems, articles, and stories coming out in other magazines such as Alchemy Review. She also has some art and writing in current issues of magazines, such as Cosmopsis, Other, and a lovely one with full color art of the Metaportal Series in Ashe Journal.
Visit www.LucidPlay.com for a comprehensive list of links to Tantra's art, writing, healing work, lucidplay group events, publications, tantra teaching, hynotherapy, and political stuff.

Artist Fundraising

Mad Hatters' Contributing Artist
Vicki Daniel

I am a struggling painter in Northern California. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and am having a mastectomy and reconstructiveVicki Daniel surgery in a couple of weeks. I am asking for people to purchase my art note cards, paintings (at very reduced prices!), or make a cash donation to help me defray medical costs and living expenses. Every little bit will help keep me on my feet. The note cards of my painting are 5x7, mounted on matte white linen and are suitable for framing. They make beautiful gifts. There are 88 boldly colored, original styles to choose from. The cards are $3.00 each, plus shipping. The paintings are negotiable. Please consider helping. This is a disease that could touch your life via your lover, wife, daughter, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, child, grandchild, or your best friend. Thank you so much for your consideration. It is tremendously appreciated. ~ VICKI DANIEL
