an orientation of thought in thinking how a / thought begins and then travels on to arrive / at another place connected and like-minded // A work of art is never entirely present in itself but rather is always at large in the mind of the viewer. So it is that a painting needs to know the simplest question those viewing it are asking themselves. From the intimate starting point of observer and observed, Carson's seductive, exhilarating new collection turns poetry and paintings, making and representation, language and thought on their heads.

Book Description
Laurie arrived at Junior High and strolled about as if it were her personal garden. She was happy, charming, the centre of the crowd. Carrie was a nerd whom she ordered to do her homework, but had her own agenda. She said 'no', but with a caveat; "I’ll do it with you, so that you can learn, but I’m not going home to run off two copies.” She made faces and inferences, and ignoring her sarcasm Carrie replied, “I know where you live, it’s only two blocks from my house. We leave school go to your house, do the homework and I’ll go home.” “Doesn’t sound fun,” she sneered. However, a week later, after her parents had grounded her, she came to Carrie with a blinding smile and a pack of biscuits and acting ever so warm said she had decided this was a good idea. Although Carrie didn't like anything about Laurie, she would be her entrance into the world of school royalty. For as the Best Friend of Queen Laurie she would no longer be a nerd, but a somebody.

Book Description
In 'If Winter Comes,' A. S. M. Hutchinson crafts a compelling narrative that navigates the challenges and moral complexities faced by its protagonist Mark Sabre in the post-World War I British society. The text is a vivid patchwork of social commentary and personal introspection, embroidered with Hutchinson's poignant prose and sharp observations, effectively encapsulating the disillusionment and shifting values of the time. The book's republication by DigiCat Publishing allows modern readers to access this significant yet underappreciated work, imbuing it with contemporary resonance while honoring its literary significance within the canon of early 20th-century British novels. A. S. M. Hutchinson was a masterful storyteller whose own experiences and observations of early 20th-century life undeniably shaped his literary creations. 'If Winter Comes,' possibly his most prominent novel, echoes the collective disenchantment of its era, infused with Hutchinson's astute characterizations and his own insights into the human condition. The backdrop of war and its aftermath provided fertile ground for Hutchinson to explore themes of societal change, personal responsibility, and the pursuit of happiness amidst adversity. The reissue of 'If Winter Comes' is a significant event not only for literary scholars but also for ardent readers seeking to delve into the rich tapestry of post-war literature. DigiCat's commitment to preserving and sharing the legacy of this narrative grants today's audience a window into the past, through which we can better understand the human experience. Hutchinson's nuanced storytelling and thematic explorations make this novel an essential read for those mesmerized by the intersection of history, society, and individual psyche.

Book Description
Four charming, witty novels—including The Nutmeg Tree—from the “highly gifted” New York Times–bestselling author of Cluny Brown (The New Yorker). A master of the twentieth-century comedy of manners, British author Margery Sharp has been praised as “one of the most gifted writers of comedy” (Chicago Daily News) and “a wonderful entertainer” (The New Yorker). Available for the first time in a single volume, this quartet of novels provides a shining example of “her brilliantly acerbic fiction . . . [and] one of her greatest talents, creating female characters of toughness and complexity” (The New York Times). Something Light: In 1950s London, professional dog photographer Louisa Datchett has decided it’s high time she snared herself a husband. Up until now, she’s been indiscriminately fond of men, who’ve taken shocking advantage of her good nature. At age thirty Louisa is ready for someone to take care of her and sets out on her romantic quest, in this New York Times bestseller. “Brisk, bright, sly, engaging . . . a pleasure to read.” —Chicago Tribune The Nutmeg Tree: Motherhood was never really free-spirited Julia Packett’s thing. Following the loss of her husband in World War I, Julia turned to her well-heeled in-laws to raise her daughter. Now twenty, Susan invites her mother to France for the summer to persuade her grandmother to allow her to marry. When Julia arrives, she quickly sees that her proper daughter is mismatched with a playboy. And when Susan’s distinguished legal guardian, Sir William Waring, shows up, romantic complications ensue. “Original, subtle, and consistently entertaining.” —Kirkus Reviews The Flowering Thorn: In 1929 London, socialite Lesley Frewen impulsively decides to adopt an orphaned boy. Moving to the tiny village of High Westover, Lesley finds herself challenged by a whole new way of life and changed by a young boy who begins to awaken her capacity to love. “To those who ‘discovered’ Margery Sharp with The Nutmeg Tree, the reissue of this earlier novel . . . will be good news. The city-bred-country-won theme is handled with gay humor and enough of sentiment for general appeal.” —Kirkus Reviews The Innocents: As World War II separates a three-year-old, mentally challenged girl from her parents, a British spinster takes on the responsibility of raising her and the two grow closer. But when the war is over and the girl’s mother returns, Antoinette doesn’t want to be separated from the only person who’s ever really understood her. “Marvelously crafted . . . believable and heart-wrenching . . . [Sharp] is an incredibly perceptive writer.” —The Literary Sisters
