1000 tulosta hakusanalla Lawrence Barrett
In March of 1924, D. H. Lawrence, Frieda Lawrence and the Honorable Dorothy Brett went to Taos, New Mexico, to absorb the color and romance of what was to them a mysterious and compelling land. Dorothy Brett recreated those days in this fascinating first-hand account, and also writes of when she was the close friend of Aldous Huxley, Lytton Strachey, Katherine Mansfield, and other important literary and artistic figures. But more importantly, she focused on her relationship with Lawrence and the book was specifically addressed to him as if he were to read it, reminding him personally of her long-standing devotion.Such devotion was not rebuffed by Lawrence, it seems, but it was met differently by the two other women orbiting the famous writer: his wife, Frieda Lawrence, and Mabel Dodge Luhan. They were in turn cross and conciliatory to her. But it seems that she just accepted them as other intense admirers of Lawrence, took it all simply and wrote it all down with a minimum of comment. Dorothy Brett was well-known in her own right. The daughter of Viscount Esher Brett, confidant of Queen Victoria, she spent six years studying at the Slade School of Art in London and was a member of the Bloomsbury set in England, among whose many luminaries Brett moved when a young woman. She was also gaining recognition as an artist even before she arrived in the American Southwest. But it was there that her true artistic talents emerged and her works now hang in major museums as well as in private collections. When this book was first published in 1933, it was praised by critics as well as the general public. Alfred Stieglitz said: "It was a rare spiritual experience--no student of Lawrence can afford to miss this book.. There is an integrity in the book--a sense of the eternal--a sense of Light--which raises it above all the other books I have read about Lawrence." And, interestingly, Mabel Dodge Luhan called it "clearly and explicitly drawn." Here it all is again with additional material added by Dorothy Brett herself when the 1974 edition was first published by Sunstone Press.
Lawrence Abu Hamdan: Air Pressure (A Diary of the Sky)

A close investigation of aerial war and atmospheric violence through artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s newly commissioned audio and video installation This publication documents the creation of a new work by artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan (b. 1985) for the Future Fields Commission in Time-Based Media. For this commission, Abu Hamdan has developed an ambitious multichannel sound installation and singular film derived from ongoing documentation and analysis of Israeli Air Force violations of Lebanese airspace. The film features narration in Arabic, presented in English in this volume, that elaborates on the artist’s research methodology while chronicling the details of these acts of aerial and aural trespass—a diary of the sounds, subjects, and powers that turn the air violent. The publication also includes a conversation between Abu Hamdan and Ghalya Saadawi that explores the tension inherent to a violence that is both exceptional and routine. An essay by Marina Peterson situates Abu Hamdan’s work within the broader artistic and scholarly study of noise, political violence, and air pollution. Contributions from Irene Calderoni and Amanda Sroka introduce the commission and detail other works in the artist’s larger Air Pressure project. Together these texts position the commission as a continuation of Abu Hamdan’s rigorous investigations into the political dimensions of listening and the role of sound as a tool that can be used to silence, suppress, or heal.

When writers go on journeys it is as often to explore the terra incognita of their own selves as to establish the identities of strange lands; in the case of many English novelists between the great wars it was certainly true, as Douglas Veitch remarks in the study I am introducing, that their work, "even as it essayed the exotic, cast an eye homeward and inward", and that they "roamed the world, seeking surcease from a prevailing malaise which doubted the values of Western Civilization." ... Mr. Veitch has taken this vital element in the three novelsâ The Plumed Serpent , The Power and the Glory and Under The Volcano âand has used it not merely to examine these works themselves but also to sketch out the ambivalent role which landscape plays in all fiction, as omnipresent background but also as a rich source of symbols and images reflecting the human drama which a book develops. He has, as he more than once makes clear, done more than read all the relevant literature; he has himself travelled to Mexico in order to see and experience the extraordinary terrain, and, as I can vouch on the basis of my own knowledge of that infinitely attractive and repellent country, he used his senses well while he was there. âfrom the Introduction by George Woodcock

Lawrence and Holloman, a hapless nerd and a loquacious salesman, meet by chance. From this fleetingly irritating and insignificant encounter, the viciously murderous and incredulously bizarre plot emerges into the full-blown twilight of what appear to be their insignificant and meaningless lives. And it is this very absence of significance and meaning in the lives of the characters which produces both the mindless evil and the greeting-card redemption that give them their shape. This is a universe in which Camus meets Dali, where Goya meets Disney, where gunshots and bathtub drownings, disillusion and dismemberment become the Seventh Seal of the Grey Flannel set.
