BURDINE, JANE RULE (PHOTOGRAPHS); MCDARIS, WENDY (EDITOR); YARBROUGH, STEVE (INTRODUCTION).

Delta Deep Down.

University Press of Mississippi, Jackson: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. The Mississippi Delta evokes mystery, beauty, and hardship in equal measures. Its haunted fields, turbulent history, and resilient people have fueled countless songs, tales, and literary works. Its presence resonates strongly in the construction of the American South. In Delta Deep Down, photographer Jane Rule Burdine captures the region with clarity and warmth. The image that Jane Rule's book both begins and ends on is haunting precisely because it captures the past that's always lurking within the Delta's present. There is something surreal, almost Kafkaesque on display here. A farmer with his back to us drives a tractor straight ahead on a lonely dirt road. Big woods loom on the left. On the right, at the edge of a field of cotton, a grey-clad horseman moves in the opposite direction, a ghost returning to history. - Steve Yarbrough, from the Introduction. Since the early 1970s, Burdine has used the Delta as her muse, traversing and documenting the ever-changing landscape in color photographs. These powerful images reflect how the Delta and its citizens have responded to each other, and how each has in turn been changed. Weatherbeaten shacks, cotton and soybean fields, industrial equipment, people at work and play, and cloud-draped, endless horizons are all seen through Burdine's lens. The Delta's past and present mingle in every photograph of the inhabitants - black and white, young and old, rich and poor - in moments of contemplation, hard work, and joyous revelry. Novelist and Indianola native Steve Yarbrough offers a touching, personal introduction that explores how Burdine's photographs reveal the place he once called home, and how, through her photographs, the hold this fertile ground claims on his heart is reinforced. Delta Deep Down offers an unforgettable portrait of a quintessential Mississippi place and the people who abide in it. Wendy McDaris provides historical context and locates Burdine's work among current trends in fine art photography. Jane Rule Burdine is a photographer based in Taylor, Mississippi. Wendy McDaris is a curator/cultural critic living in upstate New York and editor/essayist for Visualizing the Blues: Photographs of the American South, among other art catalogs. Steve Yarbrough is the James and Coke Hallowell Professor of Creative Writing at California State University, Fresno, and the author of The Oxygen Man, Visible Spirits, The End of California, and other novels. There are 96 color photographs.

Against the Season

London England, Pandora, 1988. 1st Pandoras Press Edition, Binding: Softcover, Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0863582826 Paperback When Amelia Larson takes her dead sister's diaries from a dusty disused ballroom and reads them, ignoring her dying sister's wish that they be burnt, family history is disturbed. Long-buried memories of old relationships return to sour or colour the present which still contains some of those people immortalised in ink in the diaries. The community glimpsed through the diary is shown vividly in its present, everyday life, exemplifying life's themes of birth, growth and death. A middle-aged couple yearn to overcome loneliness, an elderly couple court, defying public ridicule. Dina Pyros, used furniture dealer and town 'butch' is courted publicly and privately by Rosemary Hopwood, an unlikely but persistent wooer. All these lives are linked through Amelia Larson, a tough but ageing woman who struggles to come to terms with her sister's death through her continuing involvement with those characters her sister has left behind. Tiny slight crease to corner back cover. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
