A prolifically creative artistic polymath, American artist Amy Sillman (b.1955) works in drawing, zines, iPhone videos, installation, collaboration, teaching and curating, but painting has remained always at the very heart of her practice. This comprehensive monograph covers two decades of production, from the late-1990s to the present. Valerie Smith’s text reveals Sillman’s uniquely time-based approach to painting, influenced and inflected as much by filmmakers and musicians and the processes of her other chosen disciplines as by strictly art-historical forebears. Sillman’s works perform an intensive cognitive and gestural interrogation of her chosen materials: discovering, undoing and reforming trains of painterly thought, often over long periods of time and across large numbers of linked works. Sillman’s painting emerges as a radically expressive force; a pointedly self-reflexive practice that reformulates contemporary painting as an ever-evolving continuum and never simply a finished work.
‘I can’t see! It’s dark everywhere. What place is this? Where am I?’ Jeya was only four years old and was terrified as she tried to peer about the dark and gloomy temple. Between the pillars was a huge stone body. She shivered when she saw its face. This, she knew, was Kali, the goddess of death and destruction. Why was Jeya there? Who would leave a little girl in the dark like that? Certainly not the God of love – he sent a woman to rescue these children from destruction – Amy Carmichael. And she had been a little girl herself once a little girl with long dark hair, and deep brown eyes. Once she had even begged God to make them blue – but he hadn’t. And as Amy leaned over to pick little Jeya up and rescue her from a life of temple–slavery – she was very glad that God hadn’t listened to her prayers. Blue eyes were not the eyes of India – but Amy’s brown eyes were. The Trailblazer’s series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today.

I may be twenty-seven years old, yet every year going home for Christmas is something I eagerly look forward to.

The Satan's Devils MC has been my family for all of my life.This year, though, I'm dreading it, knowing there are so many people who'll be disappointed in me if the truth comes out. They'd know something was wrong if I didn't go home.They'll know something's wrong as I fear I won't be able to hide it.Xander's been my rock since the night my world imploded. For three months he's barely left my side, and he's promised he won't stop now. Maybe with him I can pretend everything is fine.One thing for certain, I mustn't let my MC family into my secret. If they knew what had happened, they'd blame me for certain. Worse, they'd want to take matters into their own hands.I can do this. I can join in the celebrations and pretend that there's nothing wrong. Can't I?
Amy Ashwood Garvey was a committed Pan-Africanist and feminist who moved to the UK from Harlem in the 1930s. Most famous for being the first wife of Marcus Garvey, her contributions to movements for social justice, race equality and in particular Black women’s rights, have been largely forgotten - not least since the scant records of her life and work are spread between the various places she lived: Harlem, New York, London, UK, and Accra, Ghana. Swaby recovers Amy's life and work as an important political activist, cultural producer and Pan-Africanist in her own right, retracing her steps with trips to Harlem, London and West Africa. In addition to conducting traditional archival research, Swaby curates a series of ‘curatorial fabulations’, imagining into the gaps in the archive with autoethnographic practice. Taking Amy’s fragmented archive as her starting point, Swaby asks what the conditions of Amy's archive can tell us about the future of Black feminist research.

"Poignant and wonderfully well-written." -- Richard North Patterson, New York Times bestselling author of Silent Witness"I fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic not long before her body was discovered lying facedown in an Ashland County wheat field. I fell for her the first time I saw that school photo TV stations flashed at the beginning of every newscast in the weeks following her kidnapping in the autumn of 1989--the photo with the side-saddle ponytail ..."So begins this strange and compelling memoir in which a young journalist investigates the cold case that has haunted him since childhood. It's one of Northeast Ohio's most frustrating unsolved crimes. Ten-year-old Amy Mihaljevic (Muh-ha-luh-vick) disappeared from the comfortable Cleveland suburb of Bay Village. Thousands of volunteers, police officers, and FBI agents searched for the girl, who was tragically found dead a few months later. Her killer was never found. Fifteen years later, journalist James Renner picks up the leads. Filled with mysterious riddles, incredible coincidences, and a cast of odd but very real characters, his investigation quickly becomes a riveting journey in search of the truth.
