In July 2010, poet Vicente Ignacio Soria de Veyra posted an online essay  on the art of Marcel Antonio and coined the phrase "Blue Funk Erotica" for Antonio's art. The blog entry started a dialogue between Antonio's art and intent and de Veyra's reading, culminating in a late 2011 collection titled "Desire, Ennui, Anxiety."

VIS de Veyra joins Antonio in this exhibit with 14 new poems in the exhibit catalogue.
