"In This We Hear the Light," is a exceptional collection of Cuba
theme poetry by award winning poet, John B. Lee, - without a doubt
some of his most outstanding work, juxtaposed by an equally
splendid assembly of Cuba theme photography by Richard M. Grove.
The poems and photographs represent the inspiration from many years
of travelling in Cuba. Since first traveling to Cuba, John B. Lee
came to love the island and to admire her people. "In This We Hear
the Light," is an ekphrastic project, its literary efforts are
beautifully complemented by Grove's exquisite photographs. The
poems and the photographs aspire to capture something more deeply
felt than the reflections of a mere tourist. Poetry and photography
both hold the deep felt mysteries that come from understanding Cuba
on an intimate and cherished level.

Twin Towers Remembered This visual essay of photographs of the
World Trade Center, starting in 1974 to the year 2000, was posible
due to recent developments on the war on terror. We give heartfelt
thanks to President Obama and his administration, for liberating me
and many others by bringing to justice the perpetrators of these
attacks. So, on the 10th anniversary we all can remember the way it
was. Photographs and introduction by visual Artist F. A. Rodriguez.
By offering a new way of thinking about the role of politically
engaged art, Susan Best opens up a new aesthetic field: reparative
aesthetics. The book identifies an innovative aesthetic on the part
of women photographers from the southern hemisphere, who against
the dominant modes of criticality in political art, look at how
cultural production can be reparative. The winner of the Art
Association of Australia and New Zealand best book award in 2017,
Reparative Aesthetics contributes an entirely new theory to the
interdisciplinary fields of aesthetics, affect studies, feminist
theory, politics and photography. Conceptually innovative and
fiercely original this book will move us beyond old political and
cultural stalemates and into new terrain for analysis and
reflection.
