Literary Criticism. African American and Caribbean Studies. Kamau Brathwiate's CONVERSATIONS WITH NATHANIEL MACKEY is based on the transcript of his discussion with Nathaniel Mackey at Poet's House in New York City. Brathwaite expansively elaborates on Mackey's (and audience member's) knowledgeable inquiries; his answers are layered with subsequent ruminations arising from his lifelong engagement with world literature and expressive cultures. A multiphasic drift, CONVERSATIONS WITH NATHANIEL MACKEY combines elements of biography and autobiography with poetic discourse on Caribbean literary history and negative effects of colonial domination. Brathwaite splices dialog with poetry, criticism, and instrictive imaginary voices in his now distinct and characteristic Sycorax 'video style' format. Both Brathwaite and Mackey have several titles carried by SPD. Mackey's ERODING WITNESS is newly available, along with WHATSAID SERIF (City Lights) and DJOBOT BAGHOSTUS'S RUN (Sun & Moon) Brathwaite's BLAC

Cultural Writing. Asian American Studies. THE CHOPSTICKS-FORK PRINCIPLE, A MEMOIR AND MANUAL by Cathy Bao Bean is about how she and her husband, artist Bennett Bean, raised their son biculturally, although it is evocative of far more than that "shared and separate" family journey. "Zany, moving, hilarious, and deep--not infrequently all at once--Cathy Bao Bean gives us a rollicking tour of the Bean method of merging work and play while negotiating cultural and generational divides. THE CHOPSTICKS-FORK PRINCIPLE creates a daily life far richer than its original constituent parts. Cathy Bao Bean has written a tart, feisty, whimsical and penetrating saga of the family that invented the Chopsticks-Fork Principle and then proceeded to live by it"--Celia Morris, author of Finding Celia's Place.

Portrait of Hong Kong - Ho's final book project - shows old Hong Kong streets, quaint corners and harbour views photographed in the 1950s and '60s. The images in the book have a more natural, almost documentary style, and are very different to the highly stylised street photography that lovers of Ho's work are familiar with. The book has a foreword by film director John Woo and includes an essay by academic Joseph Fung and biographical notes compiled by Sarah Greene, director of Blue Lotus Gallery in Chai Wan.

Portrait of Hong Kong 念香港人的舊 4th Print

This photo-book contains a selection of 138 photos by the celebrated photographer, intertwining his internationally renowned works with those that have yet to be released. The book contains an essay “My Quest” written by Fan Ho himself in the 70’s, explaining his own practice and his stylistic journey as he was influenced by different movements in photography occurring at that time. Through his essay, we learn about his interpretations of aesthetics, poetics, philosophy and synergy, as seen in his photographs. Fan Ho transitioned from the world of photography to the film industry while maintaining his enthusiasm for art. This transition is examined in an academic essay written by Dr. Timmy Chen, who is currently researching on Fan Ho’s cinema, further elaborated in an essay and personal interpretation by Law Kar, a veteran film researcher and personal friend of Fan Ho. As per the Fan Ho family, “Fan Ho will always have a special place in our hearts, and we feel closer to him through the lasting legacy of his work. We know we will continue to discover something refreshing every time we look at his unforgettable images, be they portrayals of a bygone era or of the endurance of the human spirit.”
