A parent succumbing to Alzheimer’s, an elderly neighbor’s cancer, a victim of urban violence, friends taken by the first wave of the AIDS crisis--these are some of the experiences explored in William Coughlin’s migrations. The focus here is on loss as the fundamental condition of life. Whether on foot or in flight, on land or water, as each of us tries to live in the present, we are pulled toward a confrontation with mortality. The poems reach back into the pre-human past and forward into outer space in order to illustrate the conundrum of consciousness. In the end, the poet

A beautifully written exploration of identity and memory in a journey through Ireland. Strangely positioned between Europe and the postcolonial world, Ireland occupies a fluid and contradictory space, not least in the memory or imagination of its many emigrants. In this sensitive exploration of the culture of others, Rebecca Solnit returns to Ireland, armed with a newly acquired Irish passport -- courtesy of otherwise forgotten maternal ancestors. Her journey is not to find a stable identity in ancestral roots but to confront notions of stability, identity, ethnicity and nationalism in one of

The University of New Mexico’s Tamarind Institute is a world-renowned center for fine art lithography dedicated to training master printers and providing a professional studio for artists. In Migrations, Tamarind director Marjorie Devon has compiled the work of six Native American artists, each of whom collaborated with professional printers at Tamarind and at Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts in Pendleton, Oregon, to create prints. These artists were selected because they engage in contemporary art rather than what is traditionally considered "Native American art." Artists Steve

Derived from the Latin verb “gerere”-to carry, act, or do-“gesture” has accrued critical currency but has remained undertheorized. Migrations of Gesture addresses this absence and provides a complex theory on the value of gesture for understanding human sign production.   Gestures migrate from body to body, from one medium to another, and between cultural contexts. Juxtaposing distinct approaches to gesture in order to explore the ways in which they at once shape and are influenced by culture, the contributors examine the works of writers Henri Michaux and Stéphane Mallarmé, photog

This is a major new survey of the barbarian migrations and their role in the fall of the Roman Empire and the creation of early medieval Europe, one of the key events in European history. Unlike previous studies it integrates historical and archaeological evidence and discusses Britain, Ireland, mainland Europe and North Africa, demonstrating that the Roman Empire and its neighbours were inextricably linked. A narrative account of the turbulent fifth and early sixth centuries is followed by a description of society and politics during the migration period and an analysis of the mechanisms of
