Covering Christmas


Covering Christmas Book DescriptionThis book was inspired by the great era of the American magazine-roughly 1910 to 1960-a time when most homes subscribed to at least several magazines. The December/Christmas issue was often the bestseller of the year; holiday covers demanded a publisher's best efforts and the results are evident. December was not a month for experimentation or weak execution, or a less than stellar artist. The nearly 100 covers collected here are both visually excellent and a pr?cis of American Christmas custom. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionThis book was inspired by the great era of the American magazine-roughly 1910 to 1960-a time when most homes subscribed to at least several magazines.

What the Stones Remember : A Life Rediscovered

Patrick Lane


What the Stones Remember : A Life Rediscovered Patrick Lane Book DescriptionAt age sixty-five, poet Patrick Lane emerged from a lifetime of alcohol and drug addiction. He spent the first year of his sobriety close to home, tending his garden, where he cast his mind back over his life, searching for the memories he'd tried to drown in vodka. Lane has gardened for as long as he can remember, and his garden's life has become inseparable from his own. A new bloom on a plant, a skirmish among the birds, the way a tree bends in the wind, and the slow, measured change of seasons invariably bring to his mind an episode from his eventful past. In this powerful and beautifully written book, Lane offers readers an unflinching and unsentimental account of coming to one's senses in the presence of nature. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionAt age sixty-five, poet Patrick Lane emerged from a lifetime of alcohol and drug addiction.

Steven Laird


Charlatan Steven Laird Book DescriptionWith a precise eye for form and a clear love for the tone and timbre of language, Steven Laird creates a profound and surreal sense of place and time, upending it all with brilliant irony. Running through this collection is a disturbing sense that even the clearest perceptions?shaped by habits of speech and thought?can be treacherous, and standing on the highest rocks is a perilous act of faith: Walk the edge of the cliff?up here Eighty-seven feet falling sheer to the sea You are precarious, the cliff is sure?

You need to be exact now. Throughout, Steven Laird teases magic from the landscape (where clouds are "handwritten in loose cursive" and hills can be "read in translation") in poetry with a strong, exuberant voice?a voice that only "comes to rest / in a tambourine?s emptiness." Not even your guide can be trusted; this charlatan is no ordinary snake-oil salesman. He knows you need to name a thing before you can even......
