Book Description
"A View From My Window" is a series of watercolor paintings I created during the COVID-19 lockdown. The series began when I joined a group on Facebook that has members from around the globe who post a picture of the view from their window. I found myself transported around the world to the most beautiful sights. I asked permission of each photographer to use their image in a painting, and the series came to life. This portfolio shows a display of the painting I made and the photograph I chose. Each piece touched me in a different way. I selected out of thousands of pictures the following 40 images to paint. They range from places like California, New York, Idaho, Nova Scotia, South Africa, Denmark, Italy, Germany, and more. I found myself transported to other lands while painting these pieces. They brought me peace during a difficult time. This series depicts the beauty in the world seen during the dark time of a pandemic.

Book Description
Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window comes to mind when looking at Gail Albert Halaban's book of photographers of city dwellers peering into their neighbours' windows, Out My Window. The photographs are views across streets, alleyways and airshafts, peering through windows to reveal intimate portraits. These beautiful voyeuristic pictures capture both the intimacy and remoteness of living in proximity to so many strangers. Out My Window can be seen as an exploration of the contradictory impulses of metropolitan life: the desire to connect and the desire to be left alone.

Book Description
Drawing on extensive interviews with ninety-four women prisoners, Megan Sweeney examines how incarcerated women use available reading materials to come to terms with their pasts, negotiate their present experiences, and reach toward different futures. Foregrounding the voices of African American women, Sweeney analyzes how prisoners read three popular genres: narratives of victimization, urban crime fiction, and self-help books. She outlines the history of reading and education in U.S. prisons, highlighting how the increasing dehumanization of prisoners has resulted in diminished prison libraries and restricted opportunities for reading. Although penal officials have sometimes endorsed reading as a means to control prisoners, Sweeney illuminates the resourceful ways in which prisoners educate and empower themselves through reading. Given the scarcity of counseling and education in prisons, women use books to make meaning from their experiences, to gain guidance and support, to experiment with new ways of being, and to maintain connections with the world.
