Tantra Bensko: Lucid Fiction
New genre of fiction: new genre of reality
My article in Ashe Journal about Metaportals
A beautiful presentation with large, full color images in this excellent magazine.

Tantric Metaportals is my just released book from the newly launched LucidPlay Publications. Using a combination of art, text, and Tantric excercises, it creates an experience of moving beyond the Beta brainwave frequency ego story and into the slower brainwaves, Alpha, and maybe even Theta, with their more expansive, lucid perspective.

Within his review, B.L. Kennedy said:
"I just don't know how to approach this beautiful text of photography and insightful new age poetry. {Note, this is not meant to be poetry--TB} I'd write "New Age," but that, simply put, seems unfair when exploring the work of performance artist, poet, and short story writer Tantra Bensko.
The text is both stunning and focused in composition. The photography cuts into the very fabric of the reader's psyche....
I know Tantra Bensko from her readings in San Francisco and, most recently, at Luna's Poetry Unplugged series, and I dare to say that there is indeed a special talent which explodes within the pages of her book. ...
Its beauty and message command the attention of those who decide to journey with its author......Hey, you can't go wrong with a dip into enlightenment!"

And Now...
My second book is published as well, METAPORTALS! They both are art books, but this one is pure art, no text. While the other art contains some nudity and challenging images of ego disolution, this one contains none of those, and fewer people, more calm, but ever vibrant images. There are many in this book that aren't in the other one, and vice versa, but there is quite a bit of overlap too. The format is totally different, on white instead of on black, non linear, full page.
I have put a lot of time and effort and money into creating affordable versions of my art, consoladations of many images so you can own a whole bunch of them for a sixth the price of one unframed giclee. So many people love my art, view my art for free, get excited about it. I hope some buy it, in these book forms. Please support my work and help me continue to make it, for you. Every sale is a huge deal to me. I really appreciate it. Blessings.
