        Las cosas de Orozco siempre piensan de otra manera (Orozco’s Objects Always Think Otherwise)

        by Manuel Marín, José Clemente Orozco

        “José Clemente Orozco realized that objects and animals see us with other faces, and he drew the sensations produced by these gazes, as seen in his sketches in this book,” says Marín. Orozco paints objects, shows that they are useful artifacts for seeing things like sensations. They are rare, and their uses aren’t what they should be.

        Of Sea

        by Elizabeth-Jane Burnett

        A remarkable new book in praise of marine fauna. Of Sea takes the form of a poetic bestiary of creatures living beneath, beside and above the water: in wetlands, salt marshes and the intertidal zone. In a sequence of 46 poems, Burnett captures the world of cockles and clams, rare moths and the humble earwig (to name a few) with a precise and dynamic lyric that seems always on the verge of music.
