Welcome to After the Art’s eleventh issue.
We hope you enjoy these four essays:
“Searching for memory in Jonathan Borofsky’s I dreamed I asked my father what the matter was and he said his tooth was bleeding and Louise Glück’s ‘Radium'” by Jessica Handler
“A Book, a Painting, a Fountain” by MaureenTeresa McCarthy
“The Man Who Breathed Art” by Karen McCall
“Sparrow Dance Spontaneity” by Stephen O’Connor
We’ve also started a Facebook page, which you can follow for posts about future issues as well as exhibits, articles, books, essays, and sites that might be of interest.
After the Art publishes personal review essays that explore the ways reading and art enrich each other.
