Bo's Arts


Book Description

"In Spring of 2004, an odd and wondrous art show took place at San Francisco's Adobe Books and Backroom Gallery. Over fifty artists, from an eleven-year-old boy to several internationally renowned grown-ups, made work of, about, or inspired by a soft dog named Bo. Bo's owner, writer Jamie Berger, investigates the life and times of both dog and art in a new book, Bo's Arts. Original artwork from the show plus a few new pieces are included in full color and Eleanor Harwood, Adobe's curator, discusses the quirky genesis of the project in an introduction. Includes photographs, drawings, paintings, and sculpture by: Erica Ackerberg, Carrie Barnes, Sharon Beals, Marit Brook-Kothlow, Joe Byrnes, Adriane Colburn, Alan D’Souza, Amanda Eicher, Lora Finelli, Futurefarmers, Ed Garcia, Valerie George, Maizie Gilbert, Eleanor Harwood, Peter Hermann, Laura Heyenga, Case Hudson, Cathe Janke, Kate Lacey, Gretchen LeMaistre, Evan Magers, Mitche Manitou, Kirk Markopoulos, Tracy Moon, Geoffrey Moore, Emily Prince, Meryl Press, S.Quinn, Sharanjit Sandhu, Alice Shaw, Kristin Sobditch, Miriam Klein Stahl, Kelly Reiling, Carrie Lynn Rosenbaum, Daniel Ross, Christine Shields, Niki Ulehla, Jennifer West, Terri Weist, Jeff Barnett-Winsby, Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough."--from publisher's website.




That Winter


Book Description

Pamela Gillilan was born in London in 1918, married in 1948 and moved to Cornwall in 1951. When she sat down to write her poem Come Away after the death of her husband David, she had written no poems for a quarter of a century. Then came a sequence of incredibly moving elegies. Other poems followed, and two years after starting to write again, she won the Cheltenham Festival poetry competition. Her first collection That Winter (Bloodaxe, 1986) was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Poetry Prize.

Very Bangkok


Book Description

Bangkok arrests the visitor with a bewildering juxtaposition of old and new, high-tech and impromptu, sacred and profane. While modernizing apace and a myriad outside influences, the Thai capital draws equal vigor from its historical communities, cultural diversity and contemporary urban tribes. Author of Very Thai and Time Out Bangkok, Philip Cornwel-Smith takes an alternative look at the subcultures of his adopted town in this practical thematic handbook. With the aid of maps, listings and references, the visitor can engage with Bangkok's contradictory character according to their mood or interest. Explore the city's contrasting environments, architectural fabric, ethnic patchwork and intertwined beliefs. Encounter distinct social scenes, where the hip or hi-so, local or bohemian and see how traditional roots infuse the current Thai flowering in arts and entertainments, fashion and food lifestyle and spas. Photography by Philip Cornwel-Smith and others enhances this insiders' guide to a city like no other.
