Philosophy

As rock and roll novelist Tom Carson writes in his introduction, "The Neon Wilderness is the pivotal book of Nelson Algren's career--the one which bid a subdued but determined farewell to everything that had earlier made him no more than just another good writer, and inaugurated the idiosyncratic, bedevilled, cantankerously poetic sensibility that would see him ranked among the few literary originals of his times."Algren's classic 1947 short story collection is the pure vein Algren would mine for all his subsequent novels and stories. The stories in this collection are literary triumphs that "don't fade away." Among the stories included here are "A Bottle of Milk for Mother," about a Chicago youth being cornered for a murder, and "The Face on the Barrome Floor," in which a legless man pummels another man nearly to death--the seeds that would grow into the novel Never Come Morning. Algren's World War II stories whose final expression would be in the novel The Man with the Golden Arm are also part of this collection. "So Help Me," Algren's first published work, is here. Other stories include, "The Captain Has Bad Dreams," in which Algren first introduced the character of the blameless captain who feels such a heavy burden of guilt and wonders why the criminal offenders he sees seem to feel no guilt at all. And then there is "Design for Departure," in which a young woman drifting into hooking and addiction sees her own dreaminess outlasting her hopes.

Porter, Melinda Camber

Inspired by William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, Melinda Camber Porter explores desire in her paintings and poetry.  Leo Castelli says, “Not since William Blake has an artist created such a profound relationship between the visual and verbal worlds.”  Saul Bellow says, “The great meltdown of modern sexual anarchy is the real subject of Melinda Camber Porter’s work.”   Ms. Porter’s fifty five love poems are in their directness and pure lyrical quality a reminder of Yeats. They speak of unrequited love and loneliness into glimpses of infinite and transcendent experience of love.  Ms. Porter’s twelve paintings are uniquely modern in their iconoclasm and simultaneously have a deep connection to painting traditions of Gauguin and Matisse in her use and understanding of light and image.
