Some of these stories are silly. Some are sad. Some are serene. Much like our lives. Drop in and meet some characters you may recognize, and get to know the ones you don't know. Yet.
Five disparate, above that certain age, characters living in a mostly deserted trailer park on Whidbey Island in Washington State are all coming to grips with what to do next with their lives. Aggie Trent can't understand why resident Jake Darnell looks the spitting image of her long-dead best friend Silas; Margo Spenser can't seem to get past her depressions to make any decisions, and Dagmar and Selina have had a very tough decision made for them.
Field: a region of space in which a physical property has a determinable value at every point. These stories occupy regions of space-some raise questions, some may provide answers, some simply exist; yet each has a determinable value at every point. Like fields in the English countryside, one story connects to another for an instant, then becomes its own particular landscape.
A collection of short stories, all with red or the past tense of the verb to read involved, all with a dominant character whose name starts with the letter M. Each story has a twist; there is included a Haiku story and a list story.
The primary theme underlying this work, along which the plot slides, is that of trying to find choices as one ages and the accompanying tension of finding too many, some of which sound attractive to our main characters yet are just as risky as having none at all. The locale, itself a character, is the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
Page's story can be an invaluable resource for people who struggle with these same burdens and may never have known how to label them, how to come to terms with them; have the courage to face their own demons, to express their sorrows and triumphs, and to know that they are, above all, not alone in their search for diagnosis, understanding, acceptance, and collaboration with RAD and AAD.
Jess: To and From the Printed Page focuses on the artist simply known as "Jess" (1923-2004), and celebrates his lively and lifelong dialogue with poets, poetry and printed matter. Published to accompany the iCI touring exhibition, it features collages made for publication, the books and magazines in which they were reproduced, as well as many previously unreproduced paintings, drawings and assemblages. The book offers a fresh perspective on Jess's work by specifically addressing the interrelation between his art and the California literary culture of which he was a part. It also explores the intimacy of the collaborations and conversations in which he participated over five decades, and points to his effect on younger artists today--through his use of "pop" materials in collage and paint, his early homoerotic themes and his enjoyment of the book format as a compositional vehicle.
