Een jongeman meent zich alles nog te herinneren: hij stapte in een bootje op zoek naar een land met een tandarts, zijn vrouw bleef in het water achter en werd door vissers begraven, en er was ook nog ergens een kind.
Door de shock verliest hij het zicht op de gebeurtenissen, maar zijn verblijfsvergunning hangt af van hoe geloofwaardig zijn rouw klinkt.
In een reeks ongelegenheidsgedichten veegt hij zijn ondervragers met cynische precisie de mantel uit.

Stedelijk Museum Schiedam presenteert dit najaar Adya en Otto. Pioniers binnen de avant-garde, een tentoonstelling over het bijzondere leven en werk van het kunstenaarsechtpaar Otto van Rees (1884-1957) en Adya van Rees-Dutilh (1876-1959).
Ze zijn in hun vroege jaren, als pril gezin, omringd door bekende kunstenaars als Arp, Mondriaan en Picasso. In deze tijd leveren zij een unieke bijdrage aan beeldbepalende stromingen zoals dada en kubisme en het ontstaan van abstracte kunst. Adya en Otto waren al tijdens hun leven bekend in toonaangevende kringen van kenners en kunstenaars. Toch is hun werk nog relatief onbekend bij het grote publiek.
Als wegbereiders van de 20ste-eeuwse moderne kunst krijgen deze kunstenaars in Stedelijk Museum Schiedam alsnog een eerbetoon. Met ruim zeventig werken uit hun pionierende jaren is voor het eerst sinds bijna vijftig jaar een groot overzicht van Adya en Otto samen in een tentoonstelling te zien. Met speciale aandacht voor Adya, die als vrouwelijke kunstenaar in de door mannen gedomineerde kunstgeschiedenis van de twintigste eeuw niet de waardering heeft gekregen die ze verdient.
Adya Dutilh (1876 – 1959) en Otto van Rees (1884 – 1957) ontmoeten elkaar rond 1902 in Blaricum waar Otto’s vader een landbouwkolonie heeft gesticht. Adya is acht jaar ouder dan Otto en heeft gedegen teken- en schilderlessen gevolgd in Brussel. Otto maakt zijn HBS-opleiding niet af, maar krijgt wel schilderlessen. Op aanraden van kunstenaar Jan Toorop vertrekt Otto in 1904 naar Parijs, al snel gevolgd door Adya. Daar wonen ze, te midden van internationale avant-garde kunstenaars, in het ateliergebouw Bateau-Lavoir in Montmartre en later op diverse adressen in kunstenaarswijk Montparnasse.
Publicatie Otto & Adya. Pioniers binnen de avant-garde: Bij de tentoonstelling verschijnt de publicatie Otto & Adya van Rees. Pioniers binnen de avant-garde, van de auteur Irène Lesparre op initiatief van de Van Rees Stichting in samenwerking met Waanders Uitgevers. Het boek is gericht op de periode waarin het werk van zowel Otto als Adya een dynamische ontwikkeling naar abstractie doormaakt, voortkomend uit cloisonnisme, kubisme en dada. De aandacht die onder andere besteed wordt aan de reacties op hun werk door recensenten, publiek en kunstbroeders schept een duidelijk beeld van hun pionierspositie. Prijs €24,95.

Part memoir, part manifesto, the inspiring story of a Louisiana librarian advocating for inclusivity on the front lines of our vicious culture wars.
One of the things small town librarian Amanda Jones values most about books is how they can affirm a young person’s sense of self. So in 2022, when she caught wind of a local public hearing that would discuss “book content,” she knew what was at stake.
Schools and libraries nationwide have been bombarded by demands for books with LGTBQ+ references, discussions of racism, and more to be purged from the shelves. Amanda would be damned if her community were to ban stories representing minority groups. She spoke out that night at the meeting. Days later, she woke up to a nightmare that is still ongoing.
Amanda Jones has been called a groomer, a pedo, and a porn-pusher; she has faced death threats and attacks from strangers and friends alike. Her decision to support a collection of books with diverse perspectives made her a target for extremists using book banning campaigns-funded by dark money organizations and advanced by hard right politicians-in a crusade to make America more white, straight, and “Christian.” But Amanda Jones wouldn’t give up without a fight: she sued her harassers for defamation and urged others to join her in the resistance.
Mapping the book banning crisis occurring all across the nation, That Librarian draws the battle lines in the war against equity and inclusion, calling book lovers everywhere to rise in defense of our readers.
Amanda Jones has been an educator for 23 years, at the same middle school she attended as a child. She has served as President of the Louisiana Association of School Librarians and won numerous awards for her work in school libraries, including School Library Journal Librarian of the Year. A sought-after keynote speaker, Amanda is a frequent volunteer for state and national library associations, as well as a co-founder of the Livingston Parish Library Alliance and founding member of Louisiana Citizens Against Censorship. She lives in Livingston Parish, Louisiana.

Italiaanse roman over een schooljuf en de zelfmoord van een leerlinge.
1970, een stadje aan de voet van de Alpen in Piëmont. Een juf op een basisschool vertrekt van huis, maar in plaats van naar school gaat ze het bos in. In de krant leest ze dat een van haar leerlingen uit een raam in de beek is gesprongen en is overleden. De juf verdwijnt en dagenlang volgt men de zoektocht met ingehouden adem.
Degene die haar vindt is een eenzaam kind, Martino: de vrouw hallucineert, heeft honger en wordt overmand door schuldgevoelens. Martino voelt aan dat ze nog niet klaar is om terug te keren naar de wereld en bezoekt haar in het geheim, brengt haar eten en praat met haar. En toch is hij verscheurd, omdat hij weet dat de familie van de lerares wanhopig naar haar op zoek is…
Ballade van het bos is gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal, gedocumenteerd door krantenartikelen en familieherinneringen. De roman stond op de longlist voor de Premio Strega 2023, een eer die slechts zeer weinig debuutromans ten deel valt.
Maddalena Vaglio Tanet studeerde literatuurwetenschap aan de Universiteit van Pisa en verhuisde daarna naar New York voor een PhD aan Columbia University. Ze werkt als literair scout. Ballade van het bos is haar debuutroman, de vertaalrechten zijn nog vóór publicatie in Italië verkocht aan het Verenigd Koninkrijk, de Verenigde Staten, Duitsland, Griekenland en Portugal. Ze woont met haar gezin in Maastricht.

In her new collection Who Will Make The Fire, published in association with New River Press, Bellamacina employs metaphors of wind, dawn, trees and fire to explore an interior world.
A personal book about love, loss, nature, depression and recovery, the wind in Who Will Make The Fire becomes the biographer of the self; a way to trace this everevolving garden, that must die, again and again, like a wild bird shedding its unimaginable feathers.
Who Will Make The Fire questions what it is to really live, to live with stillness and fire; to combat the digital world and to get back to the earth and let the hidden circle of nature find its way back into the self.
‘Dreamlike, with bite. Bellamacina’s work is brutal, floral, blood-soaked and knowing, in the way that nature is both cruel and beautiful.’ ― Florence Welch
Greta Bellamacina published her first collection ‘Kaleidoscope’ in 2011. In 2014 she was short-listed as the Young Poet Laureate of London. In 2015 she edited ‘A Collection of Contemporary British Love Poetry’ a survey of British love poetry from Ted Hughes til now, it features the work of Wendy Cope, Emily Berry, Annie Freud and Sam Riviere. She has been a writer-in-residence at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in LA. and Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine says Greta, ” is garnering critical acclaim for her way with words and her ability to translate the classic poetic form into the contemporary creative landscape.” Greta’s new collection “Perishing Tame” is a dazzling and frank meditation on motherhood, female identity, ennui and love. Greta and her work have featured in The Guardian, The Times, The Evening Standard, Dazed & Confused, I-D Magazine, Interview Magazine, British Vogue, Elle , Wonderland, and Hunger Magazine. She has performed her poetry on CNN, BBC World News, BBC Radio 4 , BBC London, BBC Radio 2 with Jonathan Ross and BBC Radio 3 on The Verb poetry show.

Celebrated NPR music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of Joni Mitchell in a lyrical style as fascinating and ethereal as the songs of the artist herself.
“What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it’s a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her own invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.” (From the introduction)
For decades, Joni Mitchell’s life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians—from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile—and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing.
At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, as—with the other arm—she pushes us away.
Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting.
In Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell’s peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer’s childhood battle with polio.
She charts the course of Mitchell’s musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell’s collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life.
Along this journey, Powers’ wide-ranging musings on the artist’s life and career reconsider the biographer’s role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so,
Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan.
Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject.

Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera— comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national and international audience as well.
Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes—his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.
The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.
With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but also their own.
BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is an unprecedented glimpse into the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking, influential and enduring artists.
