- Martin Jack is the author of numerous books of poetry that are now out-of-print.
.... Two of his extremely important volumes, HOME and THE WEREWOLF SEQUENCE, are described in detail by their original publisher in this extensive retrospective. These specific texts had an influence within American Free Verse literary culture and may still be obtainable through antiquarian bookstores. (The Art Rock album entitled DOWN ON THE SPIRIT FARM is a sonic derivitive of the verbal inventions found in HOME and THE WEREWOLF SEQUENCE.)

{Poems, plays, novellas and songs from the SpiritFugitive Archives are being catalogued. Some of these manuscripts and tapes are already at The Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University, housed there by the late Norman Holmes Pearson, and at The Center For Contemporary Poetry at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Murphy Library, placed there when Dr. Rosenblum was chosen as one of the region's leading artists already as of 1970. The complete Archives reveal not unfinished work but ones that were deemed at the time to be fractal and therefore not part of the canon. Correspondence and journals are also part of this vast Archive collection, containing many works-in-progress but also literary and musicological theory discussed with leading writers and musicians from the sixties through the twenty-first century.} A major portion of this archive is now housed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Library, and an online catalog is available.

Check out the Hoffmann Website and get new PLACES TO GO.
- Tattoos By Rick
.... The real art of tattooing is by this time something that has been lost to fashion; Holy Ranger tattoos go back before fashion trends when last rides through canyons were tribally celebrated with ink that was not just skin deep.
- Rauen Guitars
.... Now in its 25th year for 2006, Rauen Guitars is where all of Martin Jack's guitars go for setups and restorations if needed. Denny Rauen is a master luthier who possesses world-class knowledge and expertise, but who also comprehends that a guitar or any stringed instrument is an angel's wingspread. He is a master craftsman as well as a poet of harmonic convergence and purveyor of aesthetic secrets. Guitars can take finger style flight if Denny says so. If he says no, they're grounded to strumming hellfire.
Within recent years various definitions of Folk Music have appeared. ----Metal Folk, Stadium Folk and Freak Folk, to call out the primary trio.
Especially with the album Down On The Spirit Farm, but significantly throughout all of his albums, Martin Jack has been writing and performing in all three areas now defined for a new, enlightened generation.
Especially, it is the rising of Freak Folk that necessitates a vision (which is not revisionist) of Rosenblum's entire canon as it should be seen right now (19 June 2009): a sonic text for all that is Freak Folk with Metal and Stadium periods as well, not to mention alt.country. You need to understand all this. You need to know what has been going on for well over four decades in the recordings and performances of Dr. Martin Jack Rosenblum. The idea is to
share it, not sell it. Take inspiration. Truth is priceless.
