Pages : 162
Book Description
I spent years wandering the haunted streets of NYC & Paris both bulging with ghosts & memory, rich in phenomenological detail, encounters & coincidence & the enticing scent of decay, where the old ignites the new. This sensory wealth tends to overpower the individual residents & in order to survive you eventually end up ignoring it all. One day you wake up & wonder why you're even living here; you must either put up or shut up; either reinvent your relation to your surroundings or get a divorce. & rather than do the easy thing-taking snapshots-I decided to record what my 5 senses registered by scribbling down a "snapshot" per day for a year while wandering, engaging in derives-the walking & writing producing countless notepads with barely legible scribbles. Thus the Unloaded Camera Snapshots series began as an exercise to document the "snapshots" of everyday life. These eidetic, epigrammatic, not-quite prose poems, not-quite journal entries, served as meta-factual attempts to re-pollinate existence with the fecund, oft-neglected details of the everyday, la vie quotidienne. Think of it this way: Brassai & Doisneau meet Cartier-Bresson in a Montmartre cafe &, over Pastis, decide to smash their cameras & triumphantly take up pens instead. Jean Luc Godard once said: "there is just a moment when things cease to be a mere spectacle, a moment when a man is lost and when he shows that he is lost." The companion book NY SIN PHONEY IN FACE FLAT MINOR documents New York using the same tactics, and is also available from Sensitive Skin Books (November, 2016). The Unloaded Camera Snapshots commenced as an exercise to document the "snapshots" of everyday life & was inspired at the time by photographer-friends Foto Sifichi, Bradlay Weiss & Wendy *****. These eidetic, epigrammatic, not-quite prose poems, not-quite journal entries, meta-factual attempts to re-pollinate existence with the fecund, oft-neglected details of the everyday, la vie quotidienne. See it as one's 3rd eye functioning as an ultra-sensitive macro lens. Think of it this way: Brassai & Doisneau meet Cartier-Bresson in a Montmartre cafe &, over Pastis, decide to smash their cameras & triumphantly take up pens instead."

From Scratch
Author: Tembi Locke
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 150118766X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Now a limited Netflix series starring Zoe Saldana! This Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller is “a captivating story of love lost and found” (Kirkus Reviews) set in the lush Sicilian countryside, where one woman discovers the healing powers of food, family, and unexpected grace in her darkest hours. It was love at first sight when actress Tembi met professional chef, Saro, on a street in Florence. There was just one problem: Saro’s traditional Sicilian family did not approve of his marrying a black American woman. However, the couple, heartbroken but undeterred, forged on. They built a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep friendships, and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopted at birth. Eventually, they reconciled with Saro’s family just as he faced a formidable cancer that would consume all their dreams. From Scratch chronicles three summers Tembi spends in Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro’s family, now she finds solace and nourishment—literally and spiritually—at her mother-in-law’s table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple fresh food, the embrace of a close knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that light a path forward. All along the way she reflects on her and Saro’s romance—an incredible love story that leaps off the pages. In Sicily, it is said that every story begins with a marriage or a death—in Tembi Locke’s case, it is both. “Locke’s raw and heartfelt memoir will uplift readers suffering from the loss of their own loved ones” (Publishers Weekly), but her story is also about love, finding a home, and chasing flavor as an act of remembrance. From Scratch is for anyone who has dared to reach for big love, fought for what mattered most, and those who needed a powerful reminder that life is...delicious.

The Scratch of a Pen
Author: Colin Gordon Calloway
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195331273
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
In this superb volume in Oxford's acclaimed Pivotal Moments series, Colin Calloway reveals how the Treaty of Paris of 1763 had a profound effect on American history, setting in motion a cascade of unexpected consequences, as Indians and Europeans, settlers and frontiersmen, all struggled to adapt to new boundaries, new alignments, and new relationships. Most Americans know the significance of the Declaration of Independence or the Emancipation Proclamation, but not the Treaty of Paris. Yet 1763 was a year that shaped our history just as decisively as 1776 or 1862. This captivating book shows why.
