Shakespeare's 12th Night as told by the beloved character, Feste the Jester. This is the modified text used in the sole enactment by the author and performance artist, Brian Paul Allison... a glorious piece of fan fiction, a brilliant twist on the story, and a lifelong aspiration.

This is my first book of poetry, which spans over twenty years of my young adult life. It is largely tongue-in-cheek, at times confessional, satirical, lyrical, formal, irreverent, humorous, soul-searching, diabolical... and maybe even inspirational. With the illustrations and heavy stylization, I am pretty sure it offers a unique voice to the modern poetry scene, for what it's worth.

This is a semi-autobiographical account of the development, history, and demise of the most sophisticated live-action role-playing game ever to hit the collective consciousness of humanity. The Adventure Game Theater was the brainchild of Brian Paul Allison and Howard Moody III. In collaboration with dozens of other highly talented individuals they pioneered the most wonderous fantasy enactments over the span of some 25 years at such institutions as The Center for Symbolic Studies, Wesleya...

This book is truly a love-service of noteworthy magnitude. To memorize hundreds of poems and then arrange them into sequences, creating gems of intertextuality, and then to go out into the world and offer this as an example of the newest form of an ancient practice, to get up in front of people and recite... well, it is a scary yet enormously rewarding thing to do. On either side of the equation, this can result in truly bringing the poetry to life in your life. It's like, if you have a re...

Fatigue in Friction Stir Welding provides knowledge on how to design and fabricate high performance, fatigue resistance FSW joints. It summarizes fatigue characterizations of key FSW configurations, including butt and lap-shear joints. The book's main focus is on fatigue of aluminum alloys, but discussions of magnesium, steel, and titanium alloys are also included. The FSW process-structure-fatigue performance relationships, including tool rotation, travel speeds, and pin tools are covered...
