Book Description

"El Paso artist Tom Lea was commissioned by Life Magazine to paint the war as it was being experienced by U.S. and Allied soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Along with his sketchbook, Lea carried on these assignments his "record of work", a notebook in which he recorded observations and details on the images he hoped to create from the events he had seen." "Brendan M. Greeley, Jr. has collected virtually all of Tom Lea's firsthand accounts of his assignments for Life, along with his powerful sketches and unforgettable paintings, and placed them in context, along with photographs and research focusing on the people, places, and wartime events encountered by Tom Lea. Drawing on previously unpublished sources - the artist's diary, letters to the Texas historian J. Frank. Dobie, oral interviews, and archival materials from Texas and national collections - Greeley presents in The Two Thousand Yard Stare a uniquely comprehensive and sustained treatment of Lea's creative accomplishments during World War II." "This well-documented and astonishingly illustrated volume will fascinate those interested in the realistic depiction of war, in both images and words. Also a must-read for students, scholars, and collectors of the artist's work, The Two Thousand Yard Stare: Tom Lea's World War II is a brilliant compendium of the work and thought of one of America's most compelling painters and writers."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description

Equal parts poetry collection and adult coloring book, The Million Mile Stare is the second collaboration between siblings, Dorian Paul Rogers and Gabrielle Fludd. The book's title is a reference to the thousand-yard stare, a war term related to the distant, and sometimes soulless, gaze of a shell-shocked soldier. Rogers' poetry gives voice to the childhood trauma he experienced growing up as a bi-racial child in East Cleveland, Ohio and Albany, Georgia. Fludd, a visual artist and illustrator, created accompanying artworks in black and white with intricate designs in order to allow readers to color and more deeply reflect on the written words. Rogers' and Fludd's collaboration gives unique perspectives on issues related to self-love, self-identity, race, education, colorism, and socio-economics. The Million Mile Stare aims to provide a sense of catharsis to readers as they explore the written words while creating new art of their own through coloring.

Book Description

This is an anthology of my work in short stories, essays, poems, and scripts about someone who grapples with his existential angst. There are eternal problems from the dawn of man to be solved philosophically, but there are always special problems in each era that require our immediate attention due to the lifestyles we choose and the way that families, societies, culture, and civilizations come together and sometimes break apart. It is during those moments of the day when the residue of what we have said and done falls from grace and is distilled and bottled under our particular brand that makes the existence of our marvelous species worthwhile and ready to pass on to the next generation. This book is dedicated to those that are young in spirit and romantic to the furthest reaches of our mortality.

Book Description

______________ 'This comedy of sexual manners may be White's finest novel' - Sunday Times 'An elegant study of the paradoxes and half-truths that emerge in long-standing friendships' - New Yorker 'Marks White out as an immensely gifted chronicler of the intricacies of the human heart' - Alex Clark, Guardian ______________ Jack Holmes is suffering from unrequited love. It doesn't look as if there will ever be anyone else he falls for: the other men he takes to bed never stay for long. Jack's friend Will Wright comes from old stock, has aspirations to be a writer and, like Jack, works on the Northern Review. Jack will introduce Will to the beautiful, brittle young woman he will marry, but is discreet about his own adventures in love - for this is sixties New York, literary and intense, before gay liberation; a concoction of old society, bohemians rich and poor, sleek European immigrants and transplanted Midwesterners. Against this charged backdrop, the different lives of Jack and Will intertwine, and as their loves come and go, they will always be, at the very least, friends.
