For anyone who's passionate about London, "Love London" is the next
best thing to being there. This fabulous collection of more than
200 stunning black-and-white and color photographs by Barbara
Chandler--described by the "Evening Standard" as "the sharpest eye
in London"--includes images of the Thames, street scenes and cafe
life, famous monuments, and interesting characters. Each photograph
is accompanied by a fascinating quote about London from such
notable figures of the past and present as Malcolm Bradbury, Sir
Thomas More, George Bernard Shaw, and many more.
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.
"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.
Author Lynn Barnes admits she's known all along that she'd been
a little different in ways she can't explain. In her memoir, The
Last Exit before the Toll, she examines her life and tries to make
sense of who and what she is and how her being affects her
existence.
She reflects on growing up as an only child and her life now as
a single, surrealist artist and Poe aficionado. Barnes recalls the
events that have greatly impacted her, including the deaths of her
mother and father and the suicide of her best friend, Marc. But it
was the discovery that she has undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome that
helped piece together the puzzle that has been her life and allowed
her to come to terms with the troubling personality traits she has
experienced all her life.
An insightful and creative look at Barnes's life, The Last Exit
before the Toll provides a glimpse into the sometimes frustrating
and unknown world of someone who lives with Asperger's
syndrome.
