CREDIT by Mathew Timmons. Blanc Press, September 2009. "Almost all of America's wealthiest citizens are poorer this year." CREDIT is an 800 page, large format, full color, hardbound book, released by Blanc Press in Los Angeles-the longest, most expensive book publishable through the online service, lulu.com. Divided into two sections, Part A: Credit-26 parts (a-z) and Part 2: Debit-10 parts (1-10), CREDIT is a highly revealing and emotional work chronicling a personal tale of credit. In late spring 2007 as an irrational exuberance and promise of financial fortune hung in the air, mailboxes were filled with generous and gracefully worded offers of credit. Just over two years later, in midsummer 2009, the shape of the financial environment changed radically and mailboxes still filled up with statements of credit. Something had to change, offer turned to obligation. Retailing for $199.99, CREDIT is a book the author himself lacks the cash or credit to buy. Mathew Timmons' CREDIT has been roundly endorsed by a number of artists, writers, editors and critics, including: Harold Abramowitz, Stan Apps, Marcus Civin, Brian Joseph Davis, Ryan Daley, Craig Dworkin, Brad Fliss, Lawrence Giffin, James Hoff, Maximus Kim, Matthew Klane, Janne Larsen, Matthias Merkel Hess, William Moor, Joseph Mosconi, Holly Myers, Sawako Nakayasu, Sianne Ngai, Ariel Pink, Vanessa Place, Dan Richert, Ronald Quinn Rudlong Jr., Ara Shirinyan, Danny Snelson, Erika Staiti, Brian Kim Stefans, Robert Summers, Rodrigo Toscano, Matias Viegener and Steven Zultanski.

<p>Poetry. Fiction. "You'll never be the same again." Mathew Timmons' TERRIFYING PHOTO is a collection of texts that repurpose our most terrified language, from religious pamphlets warning against an omnipresent Satan to the aimless thoughts of comment trolls and idle social networkers: "Our ritual is basically a form of self-therapy and is most often done in private."</p>

<p>Poetry. A cross-referenced encyclopedia of all things New, Mathew Timmons's THE NEW POETICS challenges the prevailing obsession with the emergent and the reinvented by remaking The New itself in the image of the banal. Employing techniques of collage and appropriation, Timmons explores the endless repetition and recapitulation inherent in a language constructed from signs, signifiers, memes, short-hands, ready-made phrases and the vast wash of pop-culture paraphernalia. Written with poetics as both subject and approach, but in rambling prose paragraphs and breathless, run-on sentences, THE NEW POETICS simultaneously critiques and reenacts the search for the ever-desirable and ever-elusive New in the rubble of convention.</p>
