Routledge, 2009. 12mo. 150 pages. Illustrated. Paperback as issued. Fine copy. From the "Thinking in Action" series. "There is no escaping landscape: it's everywhere and part of everyone's life. Landscapes have received much less attention in aesthetics than those arts we can choose to ignore, such as painting or music - but they can tell us a lot about the ethical and aesthetic values of the societies that produce them. Drawing examples from a wide range of landscapes from around the world and throughout history, Susan Herrington considers the ways landscapes can affect our emotions, our imaginations, and our understanding of the passage of time. On Landscapes reveals the enormous design work involved in even the most naturalistic of landscapes, such as Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and the ways in which contemporary landscapes are turning the challenges of the industrial past into opportunities for the future. These contemporary landscapes, such as a park in Germany that uses industrial relics as ruins and a playground in Japan built on a former landfill, signal a change in the way we think about nature and art. By inviting us to thoughtfully see and experience the landscapes that we encounter in our daily lives, On Landscapes demonstrates that art is all around us."

The City and the Pillar is significant because it is recognized as the first post-World War II novel whose openly gay and well-adjusted protagonist is not killed off at the end of the story for defying social norms.

MacGibbon and Kee, London, 1965 (1937). Publishers hardcover with very good dustwrapper, not price-clipped and protected. 266 pages. Name in ink to front inner cover else clean and overall a very well preserved copy. First UK edition. "White Mule is the first of a trilogy of novels by William Carlos Williams about the immigrant Stecher family in New York at the turn of the 20th century. The "White Mule" of the title refers to Flossie, the angry, assertive, uncompromising baby, who can kick like White Mule whiskey. White Mule is the story of Joe’s inner struggle between love of fine craftsmanship (he is a printer by trade) and Gurlie’s ambition to get ahead, to have him get “in the money.” But it also the story of the awakening consciousness of their children; the real heroine is the baby Flossie––she had a kick like “White Mule” whiskey––whose birth begins the book. Everything revolves around the baby and she is surely unique in literature. Dr. Williams was a pediatrician, and without sentimentality he makes of this little being, who cannot even talk, a full-scale, three-dimensional personality."

Forlaget Spring, 2021. 225 pp. Hft. Illustreret. Med dedikation fra forfatteren. "Film kan være mange ting: rørende, underholdende, sjove, informative, eksperimenterende, udfordrende eller afslørende. Men de kan også være foruroligende, ja, måske ligefrem subversive. Og i de tilfælde, hvor instruktørerne virkelig tager de levende billeder alvorligt som en kunstform, kan filmene endda vise sig at være direkte farlige for de involverede, hvad enten de så er ansvarlige for de visioner, der lægges frem, eller blot medvirkende. Dét er udgangspunktet for den serie af bøger – Farlige film – som indledes med nærværende bind om film med relation til Fluxus, Yoko Ono og Bob Dylan. Med udgangspunkt i sin tilknytning til Fluxus-gruppen skabte Yoko Ono i slutningen af 1960’erne og begyndelsen af 70’erne – alene eller sammen med John Lennon – en række konceptuelle og poetiske film, hvor tanken var, at det enkelte værk først blev fuldt realiseret i mødet med modtagerens bevidsthed. Nogle af filmene blev af samtiden betragtet som provokerende. Men i et enkelt tilfælde, Rape fra 1969, viste mediets kræfter sig at være så stærke, at de var tæt på at tage magten fra instruktørparret. De film, som Bob Dylan har været involveret i siden midten af 60’erne, er umiddelbart mindre kontroversielle, men i poetens filmiske hovedværk – den fire timer lange Renaldo and Clara (1978) – var den personlige investering så hudløs, at ophavsmanden måtte sande, at filmkunsten rent faktisk kan være farlig at danse med".
