"Through the growing and nurturing years there is no influence as important as the coaching a youngster receives. Those he selects as his heroes mold his character and create the fiber of the individual". So preached Dan Chandler the son of Happy Chandler, beloved two-time Kentucky governor and baseball commissioner, and the wildly eccentric father of Erin and Chan. Dan uprooted his kids from their southern aristocratic roots and the political world of the Governors mansion and deposited them into the gaudy yet glamorous life of 1970's Las Vegas, where debauchery and brutishness was respected and everyone practiced the Golden Rule.... "The guy with the gold makes the rule." After years of living a roller coaster life on his coattails, becoming adults proved to be their biggest challenge. Chan took the cowboy approach to life, on the road from one end of the country to the other, packing guns, breaking hearts and staying one step ahead of the law... usually. Erin followed the Vegas showgirls of her youth and found Hollywood. The brother and sister struggle to create balance. Author and playwright, Erin Chandler is candid in the telling of her life long difficulties with her loving, although overwhelming, alcoholic father, her heartbreaking challenges with her charming but dangerously self destructive brother, and her own relentless demons. Dark yet uplifting, filled with humor and insight, June Bug Versus Hurricane will leave audiences as haunted as its characters.
Long dismissed as ciphers, sycophants and "Stepford Wives," women characters of primetime television during the 1950s through the 1980s are overdue for this careful reassessment. From smart, savvy wives and resilient mothers (including the much-maligned June Cleaver and Donna Reed) to talented working women (long before the debut of "Mary Tyler Moore") to crimebusters and even criminals, American women on television emerge as a diverse, empowered, individualistic, and capable lot, highly worthy of emulation and appreciation.
SometimesJune in Edenoccupies a garden in a wild landscape. Other times, we re given a terrain where the coveted tree is one that hides a cell tower, where lungs are likened to ATMs and prayers are sent via text message. Rosalie Ruth Moffett s debut collection of poetry, June in Eden, questions the human task of naming in a time where there are new kinds of war that keep / changing the maps, where little mistakes preyingorpraying, for instance are easily made. The heart of this book is an obsession with language, its slippages and power, what to do when faced with the loss of it. Ruth, says our speaker, is a kind of compassion / nobody wants anymore the surviving half / of the pair of words isruthless. There is, throughout this collection, a dark humor, but one that belies a tenderness or wonder, our human need to love the world / we made and all its shadows. Rosalie Moffett sJune in Edengives us a speaker bewildered by and in awe of the world: both the miraclesandfailures of technology, medicine, and imagination. These darkly humorous poems are works of grief and wonder and give us a landscape that looks, from some angles, like paradise. "
Published to coincide with a traveling exhibition that explores June Leaf s (1929 2024) uncategorizable and endlessly experimental oeuvre, this volume features new scholarship alongside reflections by the artist s peers, Joan Jonas and Kara Walker. Drawing from numerous museum and private collections as well as Leaf s vast personal archive, it is the most exhaustive survey of her career to date. Leaf s enchanting and provocative kinetic sculptures, assemblages, paintings, and drawings are intermingled and juxtaposed, revealing the artist s sustained engagement with such motifs and themes as theater and performance, dance, gender, motion, urban life, mythology, and interpersonal relationships. She skillfully blends mediums and materials in unconventional and intuitive ways, resulting in compositions where playful and combative figures and contraptions emerge from inventive combinations of brass, copper, tin, found metal rods and blades, wood, and paint.
