Early in 2001, I had a new breakthrough in clear philosophical and scientific reflection, appropriately enough, sitting by the reflecting pool at USC.

Exfoliate Poems and Short Stories M.R.M. Parrott | Chapbook 2000-2005 A fourth chapbook of poems and stories exploring new styles and capturing the fragmentation experienced in the first years of the new century. These works championed a new aesthetic, from "Tw'Ilight", "A New Pendant", and "The Fountains", yet also offered biting criticism with the short trilogy, "Tar Baby", with "Lipstick" and "Exfoliate". Those times, and these works, were ones of ups and downs, of fragmentation and joy, from the... (isbn 0966263596 rimric press)

Bartered Tide Poems and Short Stories M.R.M. Parrott | Chapbook 1995-2000 A third chapbook of poems and short stories showing refinement of my style and focus on subjective meaning. Further refinements to my style came with "Slipstream", "Moderna", "Passing in the Night", "On the Page", and others. The tensions of those years should be apparent here, all coming to a resolution of sorts with "This Grass Lies the Greenest". These works span years when I had been working on To Lie Within the Moment,... (isbn 096626357X rimric press) |

Synthetic A Priori Philosophical Interviews M.R.M. Parrott | Interviews, Discussion An interview collection on fundamental philosophical topics and problems, with a focus on Subjectivism and Objectivism. In the late 90s, I spent quite a bit of time arguing Philosophy online. After many hours of answering objections and addressing problems in the Alt.Philosophy newsgroup, I came to see that my posts were relatively consistent, and could work as a series of "interviews". The collection covers very fundamental... (isbn 0966263561 rimric press) |

The Pure Critique of Reason Kant and Subjectivity M.R.M. Parrott | Philosophical Monograph A monograph on Kant's famous Critique outlining subjectivity via reason's powers of apperception. Of course, with all the connections to my philosophical mentor in earlier works, it was natural to do a reading of Kan't [in]famous first Critique, of Pure Reason. This bold work follows a text which many students find mystifying, and even explains its seeming contradictions and difficult concepts of subjectivity, reason, and... (isbn 0966263553 rimric press) |

To Lie Within the Moment A Novella M.R.M. Parrott | Literary Fiction A sexy Gulf Coast novella about the meaning of his life, on which Jim reflects after a loss. Moment was a result of my early attempts at novel-writing, taking off from "Daffodils" and "The Painter of Modern Life" (in Another Generation Cometh), but it was also a whole new experiment in short fiction. Essentially, To Lie Within the Moment, is one long prose poem as much as it is a short novel. It's set on... (isbn 0966263545 rimric press)

The Empiricism of Subjectivity Deleuze and Consciousness M.R.M. Parrott | Philosophical Monograph A monograph on Subjectivity, based on Gilles Deleuze's works on Hume, Nietzsche, Kant, Bergson, Proust, Masoch, Spinoza, Foucault, and Leibniz. This was my first independent book, an unapologetically complex discovery of subjectivity, based on and following Gilles Deleuze's own books on Hume, Nietzsche, Kant, Bergson, Proust, Masoch, Spinoza, Foucault, and Leibniz. Along with To Lie Within the Moment as an answer to... (isbn 0966263537 rimric press) |

The Ethos of Modernity Foucault and Enlightenment M.R.M. Parrott | Philosophical Monograph A monograph on Enlightenment theory of Foucault, Kant and Baudelaire, with the historical development of panopticism. Despite being revised from my 1995-96 Master's thesis, the first part of this book, a monograph on the Enlightenment theories of Foucault, Kant and Baudelaire, is unique. When it was completed, I set out to expand it with a look at the historical basis of panopticism, and I did so without changing the basic framework... (isbn 0966263529 rimric press) |
 |
The Generation of X Philosophical Essays M.R.M. Parrott | Papers 1991-1995 An early volume of essays on logic to aesthetics to modernity with original theories. As I wrote in the 2002 preface, the papers in this book were done for coursework and independent research, all representing a struggle. The tensions in these papers, coming from uninspiring professors, as well as periods of doubt in my own ideas, make a backdrop, and the works themselves point to my ongoing interests in subjectivity, aesthetics,...

 |
Another Generation Cometh Poems and Short Stories M.R.M. Parrott | Chapbook 1991-1994 A second chapbook of poems and short stories showing deep explorations of imagery using many styles of poetry. "Absense", "Daffodils" and "The Painter of Modern Life" really signalled a change in theme and tone for me, as I reacted to big changes in my life, and looked forward to attempting a novel. Deeper personal explorations continued with "You Enter", and "Factory", both key specimens of this period of heightened... (isbn 0966263510 rimric press) |

Opening Lyric Poems and Short Stories M.R.M. Parrott | Chapbook 1984-1988 A chapbook of early poems and short stories inspired mostly by a lyrical style. This was my first [chap]book, though I only realized it years later, when I divided it from Another Generation Cometh. From my first poem, "Dream Frames", I started writing at 17, with an early lyrical (and love-struck) range which extended to "Stop Motion" and "Palmyra". Early stories, or prose poems, like "The Puppet", "The View" and "Red... (isbn 0966263588 rimric press) |
