Judith Goldman's VOCODER is new perspective, a new time in Stein's sense that a time is articulated differently in each generation, that is perspective of the way time's seen--Leslie Scalapino. Judith Goldman's book makes me very uncomfortable. She is so angry, and she sets up so many barriers--brackets, slashes, cross-outs and the like--that she makes reading as complicated a proposition as locating the ethical good in a corrupt political climate. She restores two visions at once: the avant-garde's insistence that poetic form be politically motivated and not just 'fun, ' and the conviction that freedom is possible 'only' when we admit that we are not free--Jennifer Moxley

Paintings by the American pop artist are accompanied by discussions of his life and artistic techniques
Foregrounding Loy's critical interrogation of Futurist, Dadaist, Surrealist, and "Degenerate" artisthood, and exploring her poetic legacies today, Curious Disciplines reveals Loy's importance in an entirely novel way.
Poetry. "The concatenated series of poems in Judith Goldman's L.B. chart the narratives formed by texts of uniform density hanging freely from two fixed readings not in the same semantic line. On the one hand, the book dramatizes language under the regimes of contemporary communication the protocols and phatics of privatized and publicly traded language with all the false and inescapable sociality of networked media and commercial memoranda. On the other hand, the motivated material play of the signifer points to the paths of greatest resistance: chance, ludic laughter, and the recalcitrant residuum of the body. At the level of composition, L.B. is also a kind of catena patrum: a series of e...
This volume focuses on Jewish American identity within the context of Pop art in New York City during the sixties to reveal the multivalent identities and selves often ignored in Pop scholarship. Melissa L. Mednicov establishes her study within the context of prominent Jewish artists, dealers, institutions, and collectors in New York City in the Pop sixties. Mednicov incorporates the historiography of Jewish identity in Pop art—the ways by which identity is named or silenced—to better understand how Pop art made, or marked, different modes of identity in the sixties. By looking at a nexus of the art world in this period and the ways in which Jewish identity was registered or negated, Mednicov is able to further consider questions about the ways mass culture influenced Pop art and its participants—and, to a larger extent, formed further modes of identity. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Jewish studies, and American studies.
Is it possible for the hero of a thriller to be non-violent? While riding an Amtrak train, private detective Tyrone King accidentally discovers he's sitting next to terrorists who've planted a bomb in the overhead luggage. He recruits a stranger, a passenger named Sarah, to help him thwart the detonation. Tyrone wants to stop the terrorists without using a gun--but Sarah disagrees. She matches Tyrone wit for wit and strength for strength, as they attempt to answer the question: can a hero be non-violent? "Tyrone is a deeply likable hero, whose philosophical bent and warmhearted nature give him a depth not often seen in action heroes. Sarah more than holds her own, matching him wit for wit and strength for complementary strength." --IndieReader.com Discover a new kind of hero.
