At age forty-four, Penelope Niven was at a turning point in her
life. In need of a change for both body and spirit, she decided to
learn how to swim. While discovering the restorative effect of the
water, she also began to notice that the lessons she was learning
in the pool drew remarkable parallels with the lessons of life. The
way in which you first get into the water, for example, is similar
to trying anything new-you can jump in feet first, or dive in
headfirst, but first you have to have some idea of what you're
actually getting into. From floating to treading water, forward
strokes to the backstroke, Swimming Lessons combines the familiar
lessons of swimming with personal anecdotes and apt observations to
stirring effect. Sensible, touching, and personal, this appealing
book will be invaluable to any reader facing a life change or
simply looking for a little bit of inspiration.
Not since 1929 has there been a biography of Edward Steichen,
photographer, painter, and a pivotal yet enigmatic figure in
twentieth-century art and culture on two continents. Steichen, who
died just short of his ninety-fourth birthday, was fifty and
internationally famous when Steichen the Photographer was written
by his brother-in-law, the poet and biographer Carl Sandburg. Now
Penelope Niven, whose highly acclaimed biography of Sandburg
appeared in 1991, has written the first comprehensive biography of
Steichen.
