Formative writings by French avant-garde filmmaker Chris Marker It is hard to imagine French cinema without La Jetée (1962), the time-travel short feature by the reclusive French filmmaker Christian François Bouche-Villeneuve, better known as Chris Marker. He not only influenced artists ranging from David Bowie to J. G. Ballard but also inspired the cult film 12 Monkeys. Marker’s influence expanded beyond his own films through his writings for the French monthly Esprit as well as anthologies and newly founded film publications. This first English translation of Marker’s early writings on film brings together reviews and essays, published between 1948 and 1955, that span the topics of film style, adaptation, and ideology, as well as animation and the debates surrounding 3-D and wide-screen technologies, ranging from late silent-era films to postwar Hollywood’s efforts to contend with the rise of television. Readers will find commentary on Laurence Olivier’s 1944 screen adaptation of Henry V, a scathing review of Robert Montgomery’s Lady in the Lake (1947), critiques of Walt Disney productions, a discussion of the pitfalls of prioritizing commercial success over aesthetic values, and more. An indispensable resource for cinephiles and scholars alike, these texts document the emergence of Marker’s critical voice and situate him alongside such contemporaries as André Bazin and Eric Rohmer, as well as the future French New Wave figures Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. They show how his remarks on individual films open onto his engagement with films as social and cultural phenomena.
Billy Collins has written of Chris Dingman's poetry, "You definitely have something going here: the quick take, unexpected turn-arounds, lots of playfulness... delightful in many instances." Like the poetry of Collins, as well as that of Robert Frost, Rumi, Mary Oliver, and Bob Dylan, Dingman's is both literary and accessible. More than that, though, "from the giddily playful to the sublime," Dingman's "humor, insight, and open-hearted acceptance of the world in all its wonder" are "great for those moments of respite, where one sinks into their favorite seat, with a steaming mug on the table next to them." By turns tender and funny, "soulful and wistful and whimsical at the same time," Dingman's poems will "give you a new way of looking at things and new things to think about." (Above quotes from Amazon reviews of Dingman's first book of poems, The Morning I Married the Sky.) Selections from Free this Morning: dawning i like how you lookin the morningbest of all, your face softenedby dreaming, your voicesoftened too, justone or two words-a mumble, a broken egg, breakfast when the plovers fly when the plovers flylow acrossthe salty pondthere are two of them, the one and the reflection ofthe one Are you free this morning?

This is the first full-length book on the work of ‘global Igbo’ writer Chris Abani. The volume dedicates a chapter to each of Abani’s fiction books, the two novellas Becoming Abigail (2006) and Song for Night (2007), the three novels GraceLand (2004), The Virgin of Flames (2007), and The Secret History of Las Vegas (2014), which are read against the grain of Abani’s most important essays and poetical production. By combining close readings and more theoretical reflections, this volume provides a significant insight for both scholars and students interested in the literature produced by the emerging African voices in the twentieth-first century, in the debate about human rights, and in general in how aesthetics is deeply linked with ethics.
