Saturday Poetry – ‘Come Let Us Be Friends’ Sarah Lee Brown This week’s Saturday Poetry brings you the soul-stirring poem titled ”Come Let Us Be Friends’ Sarah Lee Brown. “Come Let Us Be Friends” appears in Sarah Lee Brown Fleming’s poetry collection Clouds and Sunshine (The Cornhill Company, 1920). In Afro-American Women Writers, 1746–1933: An Anthology and Critical Guide (G.K. Hall, 1988), American journalist, editor, and associate librarian Ann Allen Shockley remarks that Fleming “has been unnoticed as an early novelist and poet of the twentieth century.

Book Review – Steel Town by Stephen Shore – MACK Books
Photo Book Review – Steel Town by Stephen Shore – MACK Books The first time I met Stephen Shore was in 2019 at Photo London, but I have known and been influenced by his work for far longer. At Photo London (during the Press Event) Shore was interviewed, alongside my friend Mary McCartney (daughter of Paul) by William A Ewing. Shore’s bestseller by MackBooks entitled Steel Town combines a series of images that he took in 1977 when he travelled across New York state, Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio – the latter amid industrial decline and soon to be known as the Rust Belt.

Photo Book Review – Pictures from Home by Larry Sultan
Photo Book Review – Pictures from Home by Larry Sultan The work was “about family history and the American dream, and how those two intersect,” Larry Sultan told The Times in 1989. “My father bought a one-way ticket from New York in 1949 and ended up in a dream house in Sherman Oaks. It was part of the cultural myth of the ‘50s about going west.” Larry Sultan was born in Brooklyn on 13 July 1946, but he primarily grew up in Los Angeles, California and graduated college with a degree in Political Science at UCLA and UCSB. He began photographing in 1968, for the Chicago Seed and the Good…

Book Review – Topographies: Aerial Surveys of the American Landscape by Stephen Shore
Stephen Shore’s body of work, Topographies: Aerial Surveys of the American Landscape, takes us on a mesmerizing visual journey through the diverse landscapes of Montana, North Carolina, New York, and beyond. Through a series of aerial photographs captured by drones from 2020 onwards, Shore presents an arresting portrayal of the delicate interplay between nature and human intervention in the American scenery. All images – Courtesy of the artist and MACK. Revisiting the original ambitions of the iconic 1975 exhibition ‘New Topographics,’ Shore employs a fresh aerial viewpoint to reexamine the movement’s core concerns: the objective depiction of the commonplace and the dynamic relationship between natural and man-made elements in the…
Photo Book Review – Sleepers by Sophie Calle
It is a rare thing these days to hold a book that doesn’t simply tell a story but becomes one in your hands. Sophie Calle’s The Sleepers, now newly published in English by Siglio Press, is exactly such an object—a book that begs not only to be read but to be held. To press your palm against its quilted, pillowy cover is to be reminded that this is no ordinary text. It is soft, like the cheek of someone you love; it gives under your fingers, like a mattress that remembers the shape of your rest. The cover is padded, yes—physically—but emotionally, too, it cushions you for the quiet interior…
