Book Description
A large volume, private exhibition of decadent classicism in contemporary photos. This unusual suite of photographs uses the poetic form of Sestina combined with other signature Stivers' elements: Romanticism, mysticism, Gothic and Baroque art, Symbolism and film. With a contemporary edge eerily recalling the past, the photos seem dredged up from a seance. Named after a complex French poetic form based upon repetition, the Sestina was practiced by Swinburne, Kipling and Auden, and transformed by Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and Elizabeth Bishop. Here, John Woods' poetry illuminates Stivers' surreal imagery.

Book Description
"Stivers (born 1953) takes us into alcoholic twilight. Shuddering exiles in watery purgatory, the human figures as well as forests, clouds, plants, works of art and even architecture seem never actually to have existed ... Each photograph visualizes the anguished lament of the current that runs through him ... All of this mirrors his dream books and journals, where the trials of actual experience and his mind's nocturnal dream machinery are indistinguishable. Stivers's pictures are figments of his material philosophy of escape." --Eugenia Parry

Book Description
A new edition of a classic of contemporary American literature, first published in 1997 by Sun & Moon Press but unavailable in recent years. “Dra-, the nondescript heroine of this grim, hilarious fiction, might have fallen through the same hole as Lewis Carroll's Alice, only now, 130 years later, there's no time for frivolity, just the pressing need to get a job. In a sealed, modern Wonderland of "small stifled work centers, basements and sub-basements, night niches, and training hutches connected by hallways just inches across," Dra- seeks employment . . . This labyrinthine journey is brilliantly mimicked in the architecture of the prose. Levine creates cozy little warrens, small safe spaces made of short clear sentences, then sends the reader spiraling down long broken passages, fragmented by colons and semi-colons which give a halting, lurching gait to our progress. A quest, a comedy of manners, and a parable, Dra- is, above all else, a philosophical novel concerned with the most basic questions of living.”–Matthew Stadler, reviewing the original edition in The Stranger, 1997.

Book Description
"The darkness of the threat of terrorism is immediate, but equally profound is the darkness of a lost public world," observes Camilla Stivers in this reflection on the wide gulf between government and citizens. Stivers explores the conjunction of these two kinds of "dark times" in the United States-an era of pervasive fear and sense of vulnerability triggered by the terrorist attacks of September 11, and the darkness brought on by the loss of a public space in which citizens openly discuss shared concerns. In this contemplative book, she probes the extent to which the loss of public space makes us unable to face the new challenges confronting our government. And because public administrators are the closest level of government to ordinary citizens, these doubly dark times question the meaning of public service. Stivers analyzes the search for truth and meaning in public service from Kant and Hobbes to Arendt and Foucault, uncovering the philosophical assumptions supporting the current managerial conception of governance. She proposes an alternative set that would enable public servants to foster more constructive democratic institutions. The book concludes with a model for public service ethics.

Book Description
Each time we take a turn in conversation we indicate what we know and what we think others know. However, knowledge is neither static nor absolute. It is shaped by those we interact with and governed by social norms - we monitor one another for whether we are fulfilling our rights and responsibilities with respect to knowledge, and for who has relatively more rights to assert knowledge over some state of affairs. This book brings together an international team of leading linguists, sociologists and anthropologists working across a range of European and Asian languages to document some of the ways in which speakers manage the moral domain of knowledge in conversation. The volume demonstrates that if we are to understand how speakers manage issues of agreement, affiliation and alignment - something clearly at the heart of human sociality - we must understand the social norms surrounding epistemic access, primacy and responsibilities.

Book Description
Robert Stivers has explored the nexus of desire and memory in photographs that are hauntingly erotic. The images published here also possess a mysterious, melancholy feeling, and often turn on eroticism and death. For Stivers, the image is most often about the human figure in space, modeled by light, often reduced to the simplest forms. Embracing the abstract potential of the photograph, the artist mines the subconscious in a performative act of seeing and recording. This, the artist's first book, offers a contemplative visual journey. The photographs are accompanied by an illuminating essay by A.D. Coleman.
