A breathtaking collection of work celebrating 125 years of San
Francisco's legendary museum The de Young is San Francisco's oldest
art museum, treasured in a unique verdant setting. Beginning as the
Golden Gate Park Memorial Museum in 1895, the museum has been a
valued center of world art and culture, serving the Bay Area and,
increasingly, national and international visitors and scholars. A
city museum since 1924, it joined the Legion of Honor in 1972 to
become part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, together
preserving and exhibiting the most widely inclusive art collections
in the city. Over the years, the de Young buildings changed in
telling ways, transforming to protect and present a continuously
expanding array of objects and their histories. Published to mark
the 125th anniversary of the de Young, this volume offers a new
path to artworks from across its departmental disciplines: art from
Africa, Oceania, and the Americas; American art; contemporary art
and programming; costume and textiles; and works on paper. Poetic
themes, curatorial insights, brief institutional histories, and an
expanded historical timeline are accompanied by lavish new
photography, presenting this beloved museum to audiences today. de
Young 125 features a selection of 125 works from around the world
that span more than two millennia and convey a shared human
experience and creative achievement.
2019 NCIBA Golden Poppy Award Winner - Poetry *** San Francisco’s
7th poet laureate—a Native American and native San
Franciscan—explores urban space and the natural world. Deer
Trails is a strongly elegiac evocation of a San Francisco that lies
buried under its contemporary urban landscape, but can still be
found peeking through. Native American and native San Franciscan
Kim Shuck is the city's seventh poet laureate, and in these poems
she celebrates the enduring presence of indigenous San Francisco as
a form of resistance to gentrification, urbanization, and the
erasure of memory. Praise for Deer Trails and Kim Shuck "Kim
Shuck's serpentine lyrics sing the streets, hills, trees, fog, and
rain of San Francisco, as well as the city's deeper cartography of
watersheds, village sites, shellmounds, trade paths, and deer
trails. As you navigate this book, listen closely: the poems
transform into maps, prayers, and medicine that offer healing,
wonderment, and joy in our difficult times. 'Travel grateful,' the
poet lovingly advises. 'Travel safe.'"––Craig Santos Perez
"Deer Trails is a work of maturity and passion from one of Native
America's best poets. Kim Shuck is a poet whose dedication to
indigenous reality is unquestionable and admirable. The Tsalagi
people live in a cherished memory of honor and peace. The poems in
Deer Trails are a testament to these ends. I am proud to call her
sister."––Lance Henson "Made of leaps of beginning after
beginning of images that sound as well as visually show nature's
humanity in a montage––naming en route to organic
epiphanies––that's the idiomatic brilliance of Kim Shuck's
actually quite sophisticated poems of simplicity."––Jack
Hirschman "Shuck's poetry reminds us that you can believe in the
blue note; our elders’ speeches that we dance near. Her poems
seamlessly walk the aggregates of human presence and voice all of
nature’s directions. Shuck reminds us of the omniscience of the
people in this dictatorship of dimes; the omniscience of the people
in all sketches about genocide. Hers is the only way to look at San
Francisco. A prayer in the mind of a warrior."––Tongo

Fiction. Native American Studies. "What Kim Shuck is writing is
vital and vibrant. She is blending tradition with modernity,
history with humor and her own Indigenous perspective
witheverything else. She is kind enough to invite us all into her
mind, her life and her tribe through her writing and to smile at us
when we realize that we are glad we came, glad we read this
evocative book and glad that we met this powerful and significant
poet."--Dr. Dawn Karima Pettigrew, author of The Marriage of
Saints: A Novel (University of Oklahoma Press, 2006) and THE WAY WE
MAKE SENSE (Aunt Lute Books, 2002)
