【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】House of Fact, House of Ruin Poems【電子書籍】[ Tom Sleigh ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Tom Sleigh’s brilliant new collection is “full of the wonder and eloquence driving profound poetry” (＜em＞Los Angeles Times＜/em＞)＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞You’ve got to put your pants on in the house of fact.＜/em＞＜br /＞ ＜em＞And in the house of fact, when you take off your shirt,＜/em＞＜br /＞ ＜em＞you can hear your shirt cry out,＜/em＞ Facts are the floor, facts＜br /＞ are how you make the right side talk to the left.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞I’m washing my naked belly clean, and doing it with dignity.＜br /＞ I’m turning around, trying to see the filthiness＜br /＞ that keeps making me filthy.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞ーfrom “House of Fact, House of Ruin”＜/p＞ ＜p＞“I hate to admit it, but even the house of fact is a house of ruin,” writes Tom Sleigh in the title sequence of this extraordinary new collection. Very much of our present moment, in which fact can so easily be manufactured and ruin so easily achieved by pressing "Send" or pulling a trigger, these poems range across the landscapes of contemporary experience. Whether a militia in Libya or a military base in Baghdad, a shantytown in East Africa or an opulent mall on Long Island, these subjects and locations resonate with the psychic and social costs of having let the genie of war, famine, and climate change out of the lamp in the first place. The book ultimately turns on conundrums of selfhood and self-estrangement in which Sleigh urges us toward a different realm, where we might achieve the freedom of spirit to step outside our own circumstances, however imperfectly, and look at ourselves as other, as unfamiliar, as strange. ＜em＞House of Fact, House of Ruin＜/em＞ is Sleigh’s most engaging and virtuosic collection to date.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Wonderful World That Almost Was A Life of Peter Hujar and Paul Thek【電子書籍】[ Andrew Durbin ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The cinematic, never-before-told story of two intimately entangled artists who redefined queer art.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Paul Thek met Peter Hujar in the winter of 1956 in Coral Gables, Florida, a slow-simmering connection began to burn. Thek, twenty-three and living in Miami, was handsome and itching to make it as a painter; in the twenty-two-year-old Hujar, a shy, sensual photographer, he’d found a kindred spirit. By 1960, they were dating and living in New York, beginning decades of sex, love, competition, and reconciliationーan entanglement that changed American art forever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Surrounded by a robust creative scene populated by Susan Sontag, Andy Warhol, Fran Lebowitz, John Waters, and David Wojnarowicz, Thek and Hujar’s profoundly influential careers, from the early 1960s through the late 1980s, differed as much as the men themselves. The unpredictable and often overlooked Thek crafted visceral installations and sculptures, while Hujar, celebrated and sociable, took penetrating portraits of his world, queer and otherwise. Yet even at their most estranged, and even after their deaths from AIDS, both men were united by a pursuit of liberationーfrom artistic and sexual limits, from anything short of changing the world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Andrew Durbin’s ＜em＞The Wonderful World That Almost Was＜/em＞ unravels, for the first time, the intertwined stories and work of two boundaryburning, paradigm-tilting, never more relevant American artists. Weaving together deft art criticism with moving portraits of both men's inner lives, and assembled with exhaustive research, Durbin’s book is an ode to a lost but still-living worldーand two men who defined it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
