Pictures from Home
Author: Larry Sultan
Publisher: Mack
ISBN: 9781910164785
Category : Families
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
First published in 1992 to wide critical acclaim, Pictures From Home is Larry Sultan's pendant to his parents. Sultan returned home to Southern California periodically in the 1980s and the decade-long sequence moves between registers, combining contemporary photographs with film stills from home movies, fragments of conversation, Sultan's own writings and other memorabilia. The result is a narrative collage in which the boundary between the documentary and the staged becomes increasingly ambiguous. Simultaneously the distance usually maintained between the photographer and his subjects also slips in an exchange of dialogue and emotion that is unique to this work. Significantly increasing the page count of the original book, this MACK design of Pictures From Home clarifies the multiplicity of voices - both textual and pictorial - in order to afford a fresh perspective of this seminal body of work -- Provided by the publisher.

When Stars Are Scattered
Author: Victoria Jamieson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525553924
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
A National Book Award Finalist, this remarkable graphic novel is about growing up in a refugee camp, as told by a former Somali refugee to the Newbery Honor-winning creator of Roller Girl. Omar and his younger brother, Hassan, have spent most of their lives in Dadaab, a refugee camp in Kenya. Life is hard there: never enough food, achingly dull, and without access to the medical care Omar knows his nonverbal brother needs. So when Omar has the opportunity to go to school, he knows it might be a chance to change their future . . . but it would also mean leaving his brother, the only family member he has left, every day. Heartbreak, hope, and gentle humor exist together in this graphic novel about a childhood spent waiting, and a young man who is able to create a sense of family and home in the most difficult of settings. It's an intimate, important, unforgettable look at the day-to-day life of a refugee, as told to New York Times Bestselling author/artist Victoria Jamieson by Omar Mohamed, the Somali man who lived the story.

Lightness In My Dark
Author: Denise Baer
Publisher: Baer Books Press
ISBN: 1958343064
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
A Three-Year Marriage Contract. Financial Freedom. All she has to do is sign on the dotted line. Finn Trevino’s principal goal is to become CEO of his family’s business at Trevino Holdings. To do so, he needs to change his ways. Finn is like the calm before the storm—magnetic energy—waiting to release its force. He has everything, except a trustworthy wife to devote her time to him and keep his secrets. Knotted by her clandestine past, Wren Jagger keeps to herself, preferring quiet and appearing reserved to those around. By accident, Wren stumbles her way into Finn’s life after losing her job. She does not know how much she’ll have to weather the storm and prays it will break soon. If she survives Finn’s behavior, she’ll be financially set for life. For the volatile Finn to crack, and the battered Wren to trust, they must become the lightness in each other’s dark. Author’s Note: Lightness In My Dark is a standalone, slow burn, steamy, dark contemporary romance sprinkled with humor. My characters are flawed and reckless. They’re tangled and raunchy… and sometimes downright adorable. The story delves into unpleasant but real issues. It contains adult content and triggers. Reader discretion is advised.

The Journals of Grace Hartigan, 1951-1955
Author: William T. La Moy
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 0815609175
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Grace Hartigan emerged during the 1950s as a leading representative of the "second generation" of the New York School of abstract expressionist painters, a movement that achieved international standing for American art. In 1958, Hartigan was the only woman and one of only two artists under forty chosen by the Museum of Modern Art for a show on that school. Entitled The New American Painting, the show traveled to eight European countries and included such artists as Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. Published for the first time, Hartigan’s journals offer readers an intimate chronicle of the vibrant artistic and literary milieu of the times. Hartigan’s interactions with many of its leading artists, and her close association with such New York School poets as John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and Frank O’Hara, make for fascinating reading. The only contemporaneous record of this extraordinary period in art history, this book is a treasure to the art student and literary scholar alike. Grace Hartigan’s paintings are held in museums throughout the United States, including the Metropolitan Museum and the Whitney Museum of Art. Since 1965 she has worked at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she is the director of the Hoffberger Graduate School of Painting.

Stained Glass Souls
Author: Donald Queen
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1524512001
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
These scribbles have saved my sanity, if not my life. These meanderingswhich are fun, painful, and freeingwill be in five categories, though some could almost fit anywhere. It is a mix of my humor and anguish, which I often have to force out and, at other times, cant stop. This collection of words ranges from fear to love, from the creative process to nature and spirituality. These choices come from about a thirty-five-year span from the point of setting down the alcohol and drugs and trudging through years of anxiety and depression. Watch out for the second chapter, Mud, Molasses, and Stained-Glass Souls. This chapter shows my struggles to get past my self-centered fears. Dont linger in that mire. I almost didnt make it through the illusions. I just want to show that sometimes insanity and stupidity are on the same side of the path. If that crazy chapter is too dark, just run to the next one. I dont need to live in it anymore, though I dont want to forget where Ive come from. I just hope someone can find something in here to embrace or let go.
