Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother, the Verb is a collection of work by established and aspirant artists, mostly women, but a few alliies, who serve the idea of One Human Family in their work. Some, like Heather Spears who drew and reported about the children of the Intifada, and Yolonda Skelton, designer emmissary for North Coast Peoples, or lyricist and novelist Karen Lee White are activists who have challenged the status quo in meaningful ways. Some, like ballerina Andrea Robyn Bayne excel at beauty and strive to nuture their art in the next generation. Most are environmentalists, none more eloquent than Maria Luisa de Villa, whose work exalts the earth that gives her inspiration and natural artist materials. Photographers Çağdaş Dinç, Helene Cyr, Jack Adamson and Catherine Marcogliese, prove the yin yang balance as they move gracefully between genres, capturing the beauty and frustration of woman hood. The Swan Sisters are a diverse group and we believe diversity is our strength. Like the yellow sweater mothers who support BLM, we look to finding common cause. And we have met resistance. Central to the story I tell as editor is the failure of matriarchy following the Indian Act in Canada, a tragedy for one family that shines a light on the effort of church and state to collapse the integrity of First Cultures. Hopefully this book speaks in part for those who have been lost to this national tragedy. During Pandemic many in this book transformed their art to support the cure. Artists designed masks. Storytellers entertained and educated captive readers through book, visual art and film. Now we pause to celebrate and lift up the next generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds have always been a popular and accessible subject, but most books about medieval birds are an overview of their symbolism generally: owl for ill-omen, the pelican as a Eucharistic image and the like. The unique selling point of this book is to focus on one bird and explore it in detail from medieval reality to artistic concept. This book also traces how and why the medieval perception of the swan shifted from hypocritical to courtly within the medieval period. With special attention to ‘The Knight of the Swan’, the book traces the rise and popularity of the medieval swan through literature, history, courtly practices, and art. The book uses thoroughly readable language to appeal to a wide audience and explains some of the reasons why the swan holds such resonance today by covering views of the swan from classic to early modern times.
