The Wheel of Light
Author: Hope CoulterPublisher: New Poets Series / Brickhouse Books, Incorporated

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
"'How long had it been . . . since Id seen it, really looked?' Again and again, the speaker of these quiet, lovely poems asks herself versions of this question, acknowledging her kinship with 'the partially blind.' In this book about looking, about truly seeing what is before us, we are given such gifts of observation as 'the chuckling dove,' 'a bittern and one green heron / hunched in the wind / as if in shabby old topcoats,' the moon described as a 'nubbly doubloon,' a peach as a 'tennis-ball [with] okra-leaf fuzz.' But finally--and in their careful, surefooted way,--these poems point to the hidden as well, the ineffable, the 'chorus unseen.' Hope Coulter has written that rarest of things: a book that is as mysterious as it is clear. The Wheel of Light is a beautiful, deeply satisfying collection." -- Davis McCombs

Inside you'll find evaluations of each school's program and personality to help you decide if it's a community that's right for you; interviews with students that offer an insider's perspective on each college; professors' and deans' viewpoints on their school, their students, and their mission; and information on what happens to the graduates and what they think of their college experience.

Philip Johnson
Author: Franz SchulzePublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226740587
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 487
Book Description
In this critically acclaimed biography, Franz Schulze probes the private and professional life of one of the most famous architects and architectural critics of the twentieth century. The only child of a wealthy Midwestern family, Philip Johnson was a millionaire by the time he graduated from Harvard, and in 1932 he helped stage the historic International Style exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. A patron of the arts and a political activists who flirted with the politics of Hitler, Huey Long, and Father Coughlin, he went on to create controversial and historical structures such as the Glass House, the Roofless Church, the AT & T Building, the Crystal Cathedral, and many more. Johnson's personal charms paired with his manipulative ploys—like his "borrowing" of designs—shine through in this biography. Drawing on Johnson's correspondence, personal photographs, and speeches, and on interviews with his friends and contemporaries, Schulze fills the biography with fascinating information on the architect's family, travels, friends and lovers, and his many buildings and spaces themselves. Franz Schulze is a professor of art at Lake Forest College. He is the author of Fantastic Images: Chicago Art since 1945, One Hundred Years of Chicago Architecture, and Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography.
