Starving, stranded, and unwilling to return home, 16-year-old runaway Rosebud is rescued from the mean streets by Seth and his followers. As "God's Appointed One", he will provide safety and protection if she confesses her sins and pledges allegiance to his Gethsemane church. Blinded by his message and charisma, she realizes too late that Seth is not leading her back to the Christian values of her childhood. She is trapped in a cult steeped in secrets as deadly as they are inescapable.Can a lost girl break free of the sinister power behind the Gethsemane sect? Will she lose her way? Or will she, too, soon be ... Washed in the Blood?
In September of 2013, thousands of migratory songbirds perished after being lured like moths to a flame to a hundred-foot-high flare at the Canaport Liquefied Natural Gas plant in Saint John, New Brunswick. Photographer Thaddeus Holownia and poet Harry Thurston sought to memorialize this fateful event, but with Canaport LNG on trial, the fallen birds were collected and held as evidence at the New Brunswick Museum. After two long years, Holownia and Thurston finally gained access.Icarus, Falling of Birds pairs Holownia's photography with the poetry of Thurston. In these pages, the burned and damaged bodies of the birds are perpetually falling, while Thurston recounts their great migration: how "they wing like embroidery / through the drapery of fog that clings / to this coast" and of "a false star / burning bright," that claims them.
"In each image of Headlighting, a single vehicle's side view is centred in the foreground, its long horizontal shape reinforced by the geometry of the 8x20-inch frame. ... The principal allusion is that relationships develop between humans and technology. Each image's long exposure, shallow depth of field, and tonal range confer a kind of atmosphere poetics to the mis-en-scène." -- Robert TombsIn 1974, the distinguished graphic designer Allan Fleming encouraged Holownia to use a large-format view camera -- a conversation that proved instrumental in shaping Holownia's aesthetic. Shortly after, Holownia set out from Toronto on a trip that took him into the U.S. Midwest and then east into Atlantic Canada. Each day, Holownia captured images of cars and their owners in their everyday settings, developing the exposures in makeshift darkrooms at night. An encapsulation of the everyday life and fashions of the mid-70s and a tribute to classic vehicles of all shapes and sizes, Headlighting 1974-1978 is a compelling document of a time and a place when car culture was at its peak.
It is time we resist.And how I have strained and stretchedtaut against it, this time, tossing it off in some neglected corner of the kitchen, where it does not belong, can be ignored, until the odd moment of late-night coffee, nightmares recalled.-- from "hold fast" Taking its title from a child's drawing of a burning house where "there is always the crucial act of rescue, saving somebody, nobody hurt and they can build another house as long as nobody dies," burninghouse peels away the veneer of the speaker's existence to reveal the hypocritical inconsistencies that lie beneath, including weaning children, decorum in elevators, and homelessness. Deeply rooted in the passing of time, Deborah Stiles offers a clear-eyed perspective on the realities of motherhood and womanhood in an age when old patriarchal orders are in flux and our relationship with the natural world is under threat. "Now I turn my back on the gestures and the words usually in place there, at the door, and go, and that I do disturbs me."
