ANCELICUS: poems
by D. S. MartinHave you ever stopped to consider what the angels who look in on our lives might think? Angelicus is a collection of sixty-four poems, all of which are written from the point of view of angels. By approaching from such a unique perspective, the familiar becomes draped with unfamiliarity, and the earthbound is suddenly open to heavenly insights. The poems range from interactions with ideas of angels from pop culture, to commentary on significant works of art, to expositions on scriptural stories, to scenes from everyday life. A large number of these poems have appeared in significant periodicals including Christian Century, Practical Theology (UK), Event (Canada), and The Windhover.
ANU Productions: The Monto Cycle
by Brian SingletonThis book sets out strategies of analysis of the award-winning tetralogy of performances (2010-14) by ANU Productions known as 'The Monto Cycle'. Set within a quarter square mile of Dublin's north inner city, colloquially known as The Monto, these performances featured social concerns that have blighted the area over the past 100 years, including prostitution, trafficking, asylum-seeking, heroin addiction, and the scandal of the Magdalene laundries. While placing the four productions in their social, historical, cultural and economic contexts, the book examines these performances that operated at the intersection of performance, installation, visual art, choreography, site-responsive and community arts. In doing so, it explores their concerns with time, place, history, memory, the city, 'affect', and the self as agent of action.

ARTISTA, EL (EBOOK)
by Alberto Laiseca"Obra conjunta Alberto Laiseca, los hermanos Duprat, Mariano Cohn, León Ferrari, nada complaciente, El artista revela que sí, que la inspiración es posible: la belleza esquiva, inasible, la notación rápida, frugal, fugaz a lo Stendhal, el desenlace balzaciano. Es admirable que lo riesgoso adquiera un matiz gratificante, asombroso, pero es lo que ocurre en este caso: nos asomamos, nos aventuramos, y recibimos una recompensa a la altura de la curiosidad, de la expectativa. La vida oscurece las diferencias entre la vida y el arte, como pregonaba (o acaso sólo implorara) Cage, y una investigación seria sobre los valores y posibilidades del arte en la cultura actual puede despejarse del malestar inherente a las capillas y las jergas y resultar, a la vez, un entretenimiento amable, un relato entrañable."

ASTOR & NADIA
by Lázaro Droznes Silvia Gallico e Marco GallicoUn incontro che ha cambiato il tango: Astor Piazzolla e Nadia Boulanger. Testo teatrale che racconta l'incontro fra Nadia Boulanger e Astor Piazzolla, un evento che influenzò profondamente la vita del musicista e la storia del tango. Da giovane, il noto autore di "Adiós Nonino", "Libertango" e "Oblivion" abbandonò il tango e il "bandoneón" per studiare e comporre musica classica. L'incontro con la nota insegnante francese di musica Nadia Boulanger aiutò Piazzolla a riscoprire la sua passione e le proprie radici musicali, a trovare il proprio stile musicale e a rivoluzionare il tango argentino con nuove tecniche. Se non avesse incontrato Nadia Boulanger Piazzolla non sarebbe stato lo stesso e il tango non sarebbe quello che conosciamo oggi. Un viaggio incredibile di scoperta e di crescita.
