Hi folks. I have always been a lover of words ever since I can remember. While sitting in my parents' living room in Walthamstow listening to Lionel Richie's 'Penny Lover' on a two deck cassette player and copying the lyrics out on a note pad I knew that there was something magical about words. Slowly it dawned upon me that I could do this. I could lay words together and create images and emotions that could affect not only me but others too. Writing is a form of meditation for me. It takes me into that zone and when I leave that special place I feel somewhat refreshed and enlightened. This is the same for when I'm reading stories, listening to music or watching a good movie. I'm sure many people will agree that the reason why books, films and music are so popular is because they are forms of escapism. The poetry in this e-book was created over the last 4 to 5 years. Even when I read them now I can remember how I was feeling when I wrote them. How you feel when you read them and what images are conjured is not my business. But whatever images your mind conjures or emotions you experience I hope they enlighten and touch your soul just a little... Thank you for your time Now off I go to continue working on that novel... Goodbye for now Adrian A. Jackson

Neon signs turned North America's roadside into a luminous wonderland in the mid-20th century. These unforgettable depictions of exploding bowling pins, crashing cars, baton twirling majorettes, and lassoing cowboys were the fodder for legend and lore. Neon designer Len Davidson has captured their magic with over 350 photos of superb vintage signs. In the text, voices of neon sign makers, shopkeepers, photographers, and preservationists record their legends in words, while a definitive photo archive gives architects and sign artisans an invaluable resource. This volume is a treasure for all who have been captured by the spell of vintage neon.

"From the beginning I was trying to see if I could make art that did that. Art that was just there all at once. Like getting hit in the face with a baseball bat. Or better yet, like getting hit in the back of the neck. You never see it coming; it just knocks you down. I like that idea very much: the kind of intensity that doesn't give you any trace of whether you're going to like it or not."—Bruce Nauman "Bruce Nauman's art is about heightened awareness, awareness of spaces we usually don't notice (the one under the chair, out of which he made a sculpture) and sounds we don't listen for (the one in the coffin), awareness of emotions we suppress or dread... It's hard to feel indifferent to work like his."—Michael Kimmelman, New York Times One of America's most important artists, Bruce Nauman has worked in a dazzling variety of media since the mid-1960s: sculpture, photography, performance, installation, sound, holography, film, and video. What has been a constant throughout his career, however, is his persistence in exploring both art as an investigation of the self and the power of language to define that self. The latest volume in the acclaimed Art + Performance series is the first book to combine the key critical writings on Nauman with the artist's own writings and interviews with him, as well as images of his work. Bruce Nauman offers a multifaceted portrait of an artist whose determination to experiment with style and form has created a body of work as eclectic and perhaps more influential than that of any other living American artist.
