A revelatory exploration of Mark Rothko’s paintings on paper that transforms our understanding of a preeminent twentieth-century artist “[A] superb catalogue.”—Charles Giuliano, Berkshire Fine Arts Mark Rothko (1903–1970) is renowned for his towering abstract paintings on canvas; joy, despair, ecstasy, and tragedy are among the themes that he sought to express in his luminous works. Despite Rothko’s prominence, few people know that he also created more than 1,000 paintings on paper over the course of his career. The artist viewed these not as preliminary studies but as finished paintings in their own right. These remarkable paintings range from early figurative subjects and surrealist works to the soft-edged rectangular fields, often realized at monumental scale, for which Rothko is best known. These works challenge our expectations about how painting is defined, as well as popular ideas about Rothko and his career. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Adam Greenhalgh traces the role these works played in the artist’s reception, reputation, and success. This book accompanies the first major exhibition dedicated to Rothko’s works on paper in forty years and brings together nearly one hundred radiant, rarely displayed examples. Building on the important research conducted by Greenhalgh and his team for the catalogue raisonné of Rothko’s works on paper, this important catalogue offers a new appreciation of an underrecognized facet of the artist’s practice. Exhibition Schedule: National Gallery of Art, Washington (November 19, 2023–March 31, 2024) The National Museum of Art, Architecture, and Design, Oslo (May 16–September 22, 2024)

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE. A sweet and subversive coming-of-age novel by award-winning memoirist and screenwriter Ariel Schrag.When Adam Freedman—a skinny, awkward, inexperienced teenager from Piedmont, California—goes to stay with his older sister Casey in New York City, he is hopeful that his life is about to change. And it sure does.It is the summer of 2006. Gay marriage and transgender rights are in the air, and Casey has thrust herself into a wild lesbian subculture. Soon Adam is tagging along to underground clubs, where there are hot older women everywhere he turns. It takes some time for him to realize that many in this new crowd assume he is trans—a boy who was born a girl. Why else would this baby-faced guy always be aroundThen Adam meets Gillian, the girl of his dreams—but she couldn’t possibly be interested in him. Unless passing as a trans guy might actually work in his favor . . .Ariel Schrag’s scathingly funny and poignant debut novel puts a fresh spin on questions of love, attraction, self-definition, and what it takes to be at home in your own skin.“An insightful, funny, and unexpected love story.”—Aimee Mann"[An] audacious coming-of-age novel.”—Miami Herald "Compulsively readable."—Bookforum "Hilarious...Schrag's riotous, poignant debut novel will leave you reeling."—SF Weekly

SHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK POETRY PRIZELONGLISTED FOR THE JOHN POLLARD FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL POETRY PRIZEThe debut collection of poetry by Gboyega Odubanjo.'On 21 September 2001, the torso of a black boy was discovered in the River Thames, near Tower Bridge in central London, clothed only in an orange pair of girls' shorts. Given the name "Adam" by police officers, the unidentified boy was between four and eight years old. What comes next cannot without a story of water and offering. The sun shines and we gather because the river allows it. Na from clap dem dey enter dance. We enter with, and as, Adam.' - Gboyega OdubanjoHaunted by the discovery of the remains of a young Black boy in the River Thames in London, 2001, Gboyega Odubanjo's Adam builds from the Genesis myth and from Yoruba culture to examine with an unflinching eye the disappearance of a child and its implication for all Black lives, and for the society in which we live.Gboyega Odubanjo (1996-2023) was born and raised in East London. He is the author of three poetry pamphlets: While I Yet Live (Bad Betty Press), Two stops short of Barking (The Alternative School of Economics) and Aunty Uncle Poems (The Poetry Business/New Poets List), winner of the Michael Marks Poetry Award and an Eric Gregory Award. A Barbican Young Poet alumnus, Odubanjo was an editor at bath magg journal and Bad Betty Press, co-chair of Magma and a member of the Roundhouse Poetry Collective, after which he later became a Roundhouse Resident Artist. He was a creative-writing tutor on the Creative Future IMPART programme, supporting writers from underrepresented backgrounds. His UK garage single 'LDN GRLS' with Love Remain is out with the Sony Music UK label Black Butter Records. The Gboyega Odubanjo Foundation for low-income Black writers was established in 2023 to honour his legacy. Adam, published posthumously in 2024, is his debut poetry collection.'What a voice he has - fresh, worn, elegiac, present. If ever a volume offered a story about water, loss, migration and every last one of us, Adam does.' Andrew O'Hagan, Observer'Here is a heavy, mystical, humorous and lyrical Black British voice that will live forever.' Raymond Antrobus'Adam is a watery chorus, spirited and kinetic. These poems crackle with love and risk . . . Odubanjo was a singular voice in British poetry, one which will endure.' Momtaza Mehri'With Adam, it feels like Gboyega Odubanjo excavates traditions to create a new world with a language and texture completely of its own.' Tife Kusoro'Adam is an anticipated debut, from a poet rooted in community. A poet whose name and charm will continue to live in our hearts and minds for generations.' Yomi Sode'An extraordinary and arresting book.' Kate Kellaway, Observer'A monumental polyphonic odyssey . . . Reading this collection is an experience of exquisite heartbreak.' Oluwaseun Olayiwola, Guardian'Odubanjo's art was - and is, in the never-ending presentness of his book - an art of the impossibly perfected everyday . . . Adam grants its readers extraordinary perceptions throughout - it's a light, keeping visible a story too likely to fade from view, and making more visible a poet who must be read.' Shane McCrae, Daily Telegraph'Gboyega Odubanjo's posthumous debut, Adam (Faber), took the story of the torso of a Black boy found in the Thames in 2001 and explored its symbolism for the poet's youth in a London where "the streets are paved with cousins". It's a profound loss that his first book is also his last.' Jeremy Noel-Tod, TLS Books of the Year 2024 'Odubanjo's Adam (Faber, £12.99) - a many-voiced, richly imaginative response to the death of a Nigerian boy whose body was found in the Thames in 2006 - is almost certain to make this much-missed poet the first posthumous winner of a TS Eliot Prize since Ted Hughes.' Telegraph, Best Poetry of 2024 'Flowing between different voices - news reports, myth, London dialect - Gboyega memorialises an anonymous boy's death, and offers a conflicted love-letter to the capital. TFS' Telegraph, 'The 50 Best Books of 2024 - ranked''Blending English, Pidgin and Yoruba, Odubanjo's language is by turns laser sharp, expansive and indelible: "there is nothing left to dig a grave / wait and enjoy life / wait and bury me / your touch is life / your gapped teeth please me / the story is yours". Finishing the book leaves you mesmerised, and keening for what would have come next.' Rishi Dastidar, Guardian Best Poetry Books of 2024

Henri J.M Nouwen

ORBIS BOOKS (USA)

In the year before his unexpected death in 1996, Henri Nouwen set out to write a book about the Creed. His plans changed when he learned of the death of his friend Adam Arnett, a profoundly handicapped young man from the L'Arche Daybreak Community where Nouwen lived. Adam could not speak or even move without assistance. Gripped by frequent seizures, he spent his life in obscurity. And yet, for Nouwen, Adam became "my friend, my teacher, and my guide." It was Adam who led Nouwen to a new understanding of his faith and what it means to be Beloved of God. Through the story of Adam, Nouwen found a new way to tell God's story of Jesus and the story of all of us human creatures, broken and yet beloved, who live in a world charged with the mystery of God's love. In an afterword to this edition, Robert Ellsberg, Nouwen's editor, writes: "In rereading Adam, I am struck by how much it represents not only the final distillation of Henri's fundamental message, but also a key to interpreting everything that went before." In the story of Adam, Nouwen found a new way of expressing his Creed, and offered it in the hope "that many others, through Adam's story will be enabled to recognize God's story among us and so be empowered to say in a new way, 'I believe.'"
