But is-it art?
This book is an anthology from High Performance Magazine about the Public Art. In this book there are two importants questions: what is exactly the new relationship between the artists and the public space in the postcolonialist time? A contemporary artist is a social activist? In the texts and in the interviews, made from 1978 to 1998,the book to talk about the new important relations between ...

Unique and Valuable Reference
My local library has just acquired a copy of Now Read This for reference only, and I'm tempted to buy my own copy, even though the book is costly. In its annotations I can find fiction most to my taste. In addition, it provides guidance to selections for my book discussion group, as well as for the eight book reviews I write annually. The four categories are especially useful to me, since I ...

The Best Pettibon Book Yet
A few years ago, Quimby's books in Chicago had a whole bunch of these little digest-sized, xerox-produced, hand stapled booklets by Raymond Pettibon. I never bought any, and always regretted it. Some savvy art-speculator probably snatched up the whole lot. They were selling them for a dollar or two each, and now they go for hundreds on the market. They were personally handmade by the great ...

The Humanities and the Civic Imagination: Collected Addresses and Essays 1978-1998

James F. Veninga

University of North Texas Press, 1999

Some surprising lessons in contemporary history
I want to begin by saying that it is a pleasure-no, a true joy-to come across an essay about Erasmus in the midst of much discussion of modern American issues. James Veninga writes frankly but sympathetically of the crises faced by a founder of the Christian Humanist movement that laid down guidelines for the modern Liberal Arts degree. Erasmus aside, this thought-filled and ...

James Mulvenon

M.E. Sharpe, 2001

An amazing subject by a grand author from an good college
While my reading of Mr. Mulvenon's book was rather on the short and quickish side, having studied with this avid student of all things Chinese, I can highly attest to the interest of the past scope of the author's work. He also moshes pretty good and drinks a mean Tsingtao down. C. A. Wagner

Angel Flesh: Poems 1978-1998

Baculite Publishing Company, 1998

"Foreword": Angel Flesh stares down madness. Its poems are ecstatic, grotesque, bloody, and disoriented by blizzards. Were I to expose this book in the desert, I'd expect crow and condor to make short work of it. I recommend adding one page, well-shredded, to a pot of green chili. Expect indigestion. Better yet, ingest with ouzo-one shot per poem. Masticate vigorously. Angel Flesh was inspired by actual events in my life, but poetry is, as ...

Mapping the Soul: Selected Poems 1978-1998
Stephen Morrissey

The Muses' Company, 1998

The poetry of Stephen Morrissey belongs to the vibrant tradition of Canadian poetry that has evolved through generations of English–speaking poets in Quebec. Morrissey's concern isn't merely to chronicle but rather to explore and define his own personal experience so that it becomes transmuted into archetype, meaning, spiritual vision, and soul.
