Book Description
On the front jacket of this volume is a photograph I took at a museum ecology exhibit of a Blue Jay sculpted by “trash artist” artist Thomas Deininger from the collected flotsam and jetsam of the sea: pieces of iron, mesh, wood, plastic, and other cast-away items from many water ways — items which appear close-up on the back cover. The artist’s work is a literal reflection of the way the ragtag emotional and physical pieces of a life may also be compiled and wonderfully transformed through the language of poetry: the way in this collection one’s struggle with religious guilt is portrayed as an all-night “wrastle” with an angel; the way the arc of one’s life is mirrored in the bud and blossom of potted amaryllis bulbs; the way heaven might be traded in another poem for a slice of pizza; the way one’s troubling thoughts need to be extracted on another page with the help of an exorcist.

Joyce J. Scott
Author: Joyce Scott
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300276206
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
"This essential retrospective of genre-defying artist and MacArthur Fellow Joyce J. Scott (b. 1948) showcases her expansive and versatile career. From early textiles and wearables, to performances and public artworks, to celebrated beaded sculptures and signature necklaces, her innovative oeuvre centers on the ancient, global technologies of needle and thread, beadwork, salvage, song, and storytelling. Interviews with Scott and essays from an extraordinary group of artists and scholars explore this dynamic practice, rooted in place, community, and intergenerational knowledge. Extensive new photography and rich archival images reveal a dazzling, provocative body of work that makes difficult subjects intimately felt, confronting racism, sexism, classism, ableism, and histories of trauma through wearable art and exquisite sculpture. With humor and pathos, Scott twists menacing stereotypes into grotesque and tender retorts that spur conversation and reflection, grief and laughter, learning and healing."--Back cover.

Moise and the World of Reason
Author: Tennessee Williams
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811225623
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
What’s not to like about Tennessee Williams’s most forthright work about homosexual love, with its gay figure skaters, runaways, and sex? An erotic, sensual, and comic novel that was a generation ahead of its time, Moise and the World of Reason has at its center the need of three people for each other: Lance, the beautiful black figure skater full of love and lust for young men as well as a craving for drugs; the nameless gay young narrator, a runaway writer from Alabama who lives near the piers of New York City’s West Village, c. 1975, frantically filling notebooks with his observations; and Moise, a young woman who speaks in riddles and can never finish her paintings or consummate her affairs. The long unavailable Moise and the World of Reason represents a kind of uncensored Williams, radically frank, fully articulated, and deeply tender: a true gem.
