Three poetic statements unite and intertwine in this slim volume to create a rare insight into the lives of people who bear witness to the exclusionary nature of society's most basic assumptions about the nature of gender and desire: men in women's bodies, outcasts, who make their living as prostitutes. With the caring eye of an intimate observer, Benjamin Alire S‡enz allows the reader to witness the hopes, fears and dangers of their transformations, sketching their daily lives in a series of short fragmentary prose-poems, showing the familiarity of the seemingly alien. Jimmy Santiago Baca's first person poem pushes the transformation further still, allowing as well as forcing the reader to recognize the frailty and pain caused by a culture's ideas of what constitutes the normal. James Drake's photographs unite the poems, complementing them with a visual thread of equally poetic intensity: changing faces, reflections in mirrors, blood and fears, as well as hopes and guardian angels

This volume presents 30 color reproductions of the work of Pat Steir, a painter who has investigated and redefined the different modes possible in painting. Her technique is to utilize limitation to focus attention on certain painting issues. In light of the marginal position women hold in the history of painting, she has deliberately changed her style, thus bringing together conceptualist thinking and different means of paint application. The book contains an extensive essay on her work, as well as an interview. Oversize: 9.25x11.5

Figures of Thinking presents a case for a new way of making art in a century that, even in its early years, has already brought great change and turmoil, from 9/11 to bombings and natural disasters. These events have caused a dramatic shift in how people perceive their lives and their world. 
A candid and engaging conversation between curators Vicky A. Clark and Sandhini Poddar focuses on the intuitive, on art and artists that suggest and evoke responses rather than seek to analyze, testifying to a shared sensibility that belies the complexities of today’s diverse and changing world. Featured artists include Rina Banerjee, Lesley Dill, Ellen Gallagher, Mona Hatoum, Adrienne Heinrich, Nina Katchadourian, Simone Leigh, Wangechi Mutu, Yuki Onodera, Kathy Prendergast, Barbara Weissberger, Heesung Yang, Cheryl Yun, and Zarina.
