Sydney and Flora, by Geoffrey Biddle
"A collection of photographs that is jarring, sentimental, innovative and very powerful...startling and interesting." — The San Francisco Review of Books
Essays by Susanna Moore and Geoffrey Biddle
Marbles, by James Guida
Marbles is a collection of lucid, whimsical, and sometimes biting musings on twenty first century urban life. James Guida revives an old form, the aphorism, in ways that are sardonic, topical, and continually thought-provoking.
Selected as one of the Best Books of the Year by reviewer John Freeman.
Creaturely and Other Essays, by Devin Johnston
In compact and vivid prose, Devin Johnston's Creaturely makes forays across the border between humans and animals, seeking out intersections between culture and nature. These eight essays describe encounters with creatures common to our city parks and empty lots: dogs, crows, starlings, squirrels, mice, and owls. In each case, Johnston explores the sensory experience of his subject; with each patient observation, he edges closer to an alien consciousness.
