Book Description
Murder, sex, old money and 9/11. Who wouldn't want more? It is as if I can't read fast enough to satisfy my need for more information about these characters and their stories. The best part is, they remind me of people I see every day. --Dana Cohen, Attorney-at-Law A young woman is savagely murdered. The investigation is in the hands of local police. An aging lawyer and sometimes courthouse character Daniel Saule (Sol) knows the victim and several other parties involved in the case. He allows himself to be drawn in, not realizing that his own life is now at risk. Divorced, Sol lives alone with his street smart border collie, Miranda. He is deeply involved with a younger woman who becomes a target as a result of her connection with him. The Biblical execution style of the murder points to a psychopath who has killed at least twice before. The cops refer to this suspect as Pilate. With the messages of a street artist known only as Maestro Graffiti, and advice from a legendary seer, Sol must figure out the circumstances surrounding the murder. Alone on a deadly path of uncertainty, Sol fears for himself and the woman he loves. Night Sweats and Graffiti takes place in Louisville, Kentucky in September 2001, while the nation reels from the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York. It is an unpleasant time, Sol responds the only way he knows how, with humor and with the conviction that a just conclusion will one day happen, even if it must be by his own hand. "In Night sweats and Graffiti, Gerald McDaniel weaves an exciting tale of suspense full of satisfying twists that hooks you from page one. The characters are expertly developed and you may find yourself rooting for the ones that are the most damaged." --Angela Anton

Book Description
"Herein lies a paper tomb of mess void of regret: a symbolic space where havoc persists and normality is laid to rest." Graffiti Graveyard is the fifth poetry and prose collection by author Samira Vivette and the sister book of her previous collection, "Grayscale," exploring themes of darkness, turmoil, recklessness, self-destruction, empowerment, and rebirth. Delving into the innermost depths of the mind and human spirit, the words within embody eccentricity, passion, and intensity with a hint of horror and melancholy. Some poems may be triggering due to their allusion to self-harm.

The action takes place in Switzerland and Jordan. Sally, for the first time in the series, is a co-narrator.

Book Description
A brilliant, exhilarating debut novel that retells The Odyssey during the 1965 Watts Riots—like nothing you’ve ever read before It’s August 1965 and Los Angeles is scorching. Americo Monk, a street-haunting aficionado of graffiti, is frantically trying to return home to the makeshift harbor community (assembled from old shipping containers) where he lives with his girlfriend, Karmann. But this is during the Watts Riots, and although his status as a chronicler of all things underground garners him free passage through the territories fiercely controlled by gangs, his trek is nevertheless diverted. Embarking on an exhilarating, dangerous, and at times paranormal journey, Monk crosses paths with a dizzying array of representatives from Los Angeles subcultures, including Chinese gangsters, graffiti bombers, witches, the Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, and others. Graffiti Palace is the story of a city transmogrified by the upsurge of its citizens, and Monk is our tour guide, cataloging and preserving the communities that, though surreptitious and unseen, nevertheless formed the backbone of 1960s Los Angeles. With an astounding generosity of imagery and imagination, Graffiti Palace heralds the birth of a major voice in fiction. A. G. Lombardo sees the writings on our walls, and with Graffiti Palace he has provided an allegorical paean to a city in revolt.

Book Description
A no-holds-barred biography of the great poet and sexual rebel, who could “give the dead a voice, make them sing” (Hilton Als, The New Yorker). Thom Gunn was not a confessional poet, and he withheld much, but inseparable from his rigorous, formal poetry was a ravenous, acute experience of life and death. Raised in Kent, England, and educated at Cambridge, Gunn found a home in San Francisco, where he documented the city’s queerness, the hippie mentality (and drug use) of the sixties, and the tragedy and catastrophic impact of the AIDS crisis in the eighties and beyond. As Jeremy Lybarger wrote in The New Republic, the author of Moly and The Man with Night Sweats was “an agile poet who renovated tradition to accommodate the rude litter of modernity.” Thom Gunn: A Cool Queer Life chronicles, for the first time, the largely undocumented life of this revolutionary poet. Michael Nott, a coeditor of The Letters of Thom Gunn, draws on letters, diaries, notebooks, interviews, and Gunn’s poetry to create a portrait as vital as the man himself. Nott writes with insight and intimacy about the great sweep of Gunn’s life: his traditional childhood in England; his mother’s suicide; the mind-opening education he received at Cambridge, reading Shakespeare and John Donne; his decades in San Francisco and with his life partner, Mike Kitay; and his visceral experience of sex, drugs, and loss. Thom Gunn: A Cool Queer Life is a long-awaited, landmark study of one of England and America’s most innovative poets.

Book Description
Recent global events, including the ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings, Occupy movements and anti-austerity protests across Europe have renewed scholarly and public interest in collective action, protest strategies and activist subcultures. We know that social movements do not just contest and politicise culture, they create it too. However, scholars working within international politics and social movement studies have been relatively inattentive to the manifold political mediations of graffiti, muralism, street performance and other street art forms. Against this backdrop, this book explores the evolving political role of street art in Latin America during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It examines the use, appropriation and reconfiguration of public spaces and political opportunities through street art forms, drawing on empirical work undertaken in Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. Bringing together a range of insights from social movement studies, aesthetics and anthropology, the book highlights some of the difficulties in theorising and understanding the complex interplay between art and political practice. It seeks to explore 'what art can do' in protest, and in so doing, aims to provide a useful point of reference for students and scholars interested in political communication, culture and resistance. It will be of interest to students and scholars working in politics, international relations, political and cultural geography, Latin American studies, art, sociology and anthropology.
