Dubbed a “poet of the ordinary” by the Los Angeles Times, photographer Keith Carter came of age during the turbulent ‘60s and ‘70s, developing a singular, haunting style that captures both the grit and the glory of the human spirit. Showcasing a broad array of his work-which has been shown in more than one hundred solo exhibitions in thirteen countries-Keith Carter: Fifty Years spans delicate, century-old processes as well as digital-age techniques to yield an enduring vision of the world around us.The interlaced images in Keith Carter: Fifty Years feature contrasts of natural light and darkness as we explore the mythos of time and terrain, the familiar and the magical, and the varied creatures that inhabit our earth. The human form-depleted or energized, solitary or with a beloved partner-becomes a meditation on aging and loss, which have affected Carter profoundly in recent years. Yet these losses have spurred in him a sense of discovery, not despair. Rather than arranging the works chronologically, Carter chose to group them into correlations, echoing the kaleidoscopic effect of memory. The result is mesmerizing; each artifact draws us into an experience of intensity and wonder, enduring long after the page is turned.
In the thirty years since his death, Keith Haring-a central presence on the New York downtown scene of the 1980s-has remained one of the most popular figures in contemporary American art. In one of the first book-length treatments of Haring’s artistry, Ricardo Montez traces the drawn and painted line that was at the center of Haring’s artistic practice and with which the artist marked canvases, subway walls, and even human flesh. Keith Haring’s Line unites performance studies, critical race studies, and queer theory in an exploration of cross-racial desire in Haring’s life and art. Examining Haring’s engagements with artists such as dancer and choreographer Bill T. Jones, graffiti artist LA II, and iconic superstar Grace Jones, Montez confronts Haring’s messy relationships to race-making and racial imaginaries, highlighting scenes of complicity in order to trouble both the positive connotations of inter-racial artistic collaboration and the limited framework of appropriation.

This is the story of Keith Stanworth, a man who was shaped by his mother and father, the land he grew up on, the people around him, and the faith he was taught. More than that, it is the story of a man who took full responsibility for what he became-for good or bad. When he was a young man, his teachers, coaches, and leaders influenced him greatly. He wanted the chance to use his love of sports to help others shape their lives and so decided to become a coach, focusing his abilities and dedication on shaping young people. He was raised in the outdoors and couldn't have imagined a career without time on a mountain-a fact that led him to his home with the Forest Service. In both careers, he had some of the most wonderful-and frightening-experiences of his life. This memoir shares the story of the life of Keith Stanworth. Sometimes people see the same things differently, but this is the way he saw it.

"Saving Primo" is the last of the book's four stories with the primary characters being J.D. Dickens, and his partner, Isaiah 'I-Hop' Hopkins. The story's intrigue involves a top-secret deal between the American and Canadian governments concerning an enormous oil pipeline that is being built through the Canadian Yukon and far into the U.S. and when Primo Canto, whose life had been saved by J.D. and his partner 18 months previously, phones them about his finding information for an environmentalist group that is against the clandestine pipeline deal even more vehemently since they find it also involves Russia when Primo finds proof that it also involves a secret underwater pipeline that will stretch from the tip of Alaska into Russia. Primo, who had fallen in love with the future president of her own new country, and leader of millions of hard-core, rabid and revolutionary environmentalists, had taken the fall when the Canadian and American governments had charged him with espionage, arrested him and was in the process of trying him for treason, for which he could receive the death penalty, when he called J.D. -from his jail cell. This story is set a few years into the future but it is in the news right now, in 2013, as both countries battle their number one enemy-the environmentalists-as well as the public-over the questions of the gas and oil companies, as well as the governments, rights that they claim in the name of National security and if you want to see how this upcoming reality may very well end don't miss "Saving Primo," the last story in this series. "Sandcastles in the Sun," is the first story in this series of stories about Julius 'J.D.' Dickens, a private investigator and former police officer for 19 years, who gets this case when his assistant, a 21-year old first year law student, whose father is a police captain, assures him that it's a simple "open-and-shut" case paid for with department money. Dickens, who has personal reasons for accepting cases paid for by department money, takes it. J.D. meets the owner of the Love-Bug restaurant, the suspect in the 30-year old cold case that he had undertaken and also the suspect in the murder of her husband, a multi-millionaire who had made his money in the car business. She had taken her inheritance and opened the Love Bug Restaurant, a shrine to the pesky insects that mated once every year and wreck havoc on anyone who ventures into Florida during that period. Her own son had actually pleaded with the police for years that his mother was the real killer but then general sentiment was that the son was incensed over his dad's car dealership that had gone belly-up and he wanted to get the money his mother had made from her hugely successful chain of Love Bug restaurants. J.D. had been ready to forget the case when he met the suspect, a Dolly Parton lookalike who made him an offer that he just couldn't seem to turn down. "The Spearhead Case" begins when 'J.D.' Dickens takes a case when a man walks into his office one day without an appointment or phone call. He knows who J.D. is and says he was referred to him by a childhood friend who had been his partner on the local P.D. for over a decade. The case is so quirky and troubling that J.D is just about to turn it down when $20 K in cash as a retainer entices him off just enough to take the case. The Spearhead case leads J.D. and recently retired from the force, Isaiah Hopkins, into a partnership again. The challenge is the Everglades, with its huge alligators, crocodiles and twenty-foot Burmese pythons and a suspect who was born and raised there and is half Seminole Indian and half Gladesman and calls himself Osceola Again in reference to the legendary Everglades Indian Osceola. It's a challenge that both men see as almost impossible and they will need all their local police knowledge and connections to solve. "A Heartbeat Away" is a twisting/turning Las Vegas boxing story that you will never for
