SUMMARY:George Lakey
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of his new book \nHow We Win: A Guide to Nonviolent Direct Action Campaigning \nby George Lakey \nfrom Melville House \nA lifetime of activist experience informs this playbook for building and conducting nonviolent direct action campaigns — teaching us how to achieve real progressive change. \n\nToday’s new direct action campaigns require a new\, down-to-earth guide to effective campaigning. George Lakey’s How We Win is that timely guide. The Women’s March of January 21\, 2017 was estimated at four million people — the largest assembly of activist protest in U.S. history. Many of those assembled were in the streets for the first time\, or returning after a period of inactivity. \nLakey\, a lifelong activist\, helps us understand our political moment (extreme polarization\, ripe for political change)\, teaches us how to plan a campaign to overcome that polarization\, demonstrates how to launch these ideas into action\, and shows us how to grow and sustain our movements. This is what democracy looks like. \nGEORGE LAKEY has been active in direct action campaigns for six decades. Recently retired from Swarthmore College\, where he was the Eugene M. Lang Visiting Professor for Issues in Social Change\, Lakey was arrested for the first time at a civil rights demonstration in March 1963\, and most recently on March 29\, 2018 in the Power Local Green Jobs Campaign. He lives in Philadelphia. \nWhat has been said about the work of George Lakey: \n“If you want to be a soldier\, you can go to West Point. If you want to be a nonviolent change-maker — well\, this is an awfully good place to start. George Lakey has been near the center of American resistance for decades\, and so he has both remarkable stories and remarkable insights — not to mention some remarkable colleagues who add their perspective to this necessary manual!” \n–Bill McKibben\, co-founder of 350.org

SUMMARY:Joshua Rivkin and R.O. Kwon
DESCRIPTION:Joshua Rivkin discusses his new biography\, Chalk: The Art and Erasure of Cy Twombly\, with R.O. Kwon. \n\nPraise for Chalk \n\n“Reviled when young\, revered when old\, the elusive Twombly surprisingly emerges in this fascinating biography\, which traces the difficulties of tracking down the man as thoroughly as it fills in the blurred\, half-erased likeness. This is the record of a heroic journey of discovery.” —acclaimed author and memoirist Edmund White\n \n\n“Joshua Rivkin’s sensitive eye and investigative ambition expand and enrich our understanding of Cy Twombly’s genius in this tenderly rendered biography.”—Rachel Corbett\, author of You Must Change Your Life \n\n“So much more than a study of the life and work of the famously guarded Twombly. At once candid and tender\, meditative and unsparing . . . this book is a gift to Twombly devotees and newcomers alike—as imbued with beauty\, genius\, and vitality as the artist’s work that is its subject.” —Lacy Johnson\, author of The Other Side \n\nAbout Chalk \n\nThe first book to explore the life and work of painter Cy Twombly\, one of the most important and influential artists of the Twentieth Century \nCy Twombly was a man obsessed with myth and history—including his own. Shuttling between stunning homes in Italy and the United States where he perfected his room-size canvases\, he managed his public image carefully and rarely gave interviews. \nUpon first seeing Twombly’s remarkable paintings\, writer Joshua Rivkin became obsessed himself with the mysterious artist\, and began chasing every lead\, big or small—anything that might illuminate those works\, or who Twombly really was. \nNow\, after unprecedented archival research and years of interviews\, Rivkin has reconstructed Twombly’s life\, from his time at the legendary Black Mountain College to his canonization in a 1994 MoMA retrospective; from his heady explorations of Rome in the 1950s with Robert Rauschenberg to the ongoing efforts to shape his legacy after his death. \nIncluding previously unpublished photographs\, Chalk presents a more personal and searching type of biography than we’ve ever encountered\, and brings to life a more complex Twombly than we’ve ever known. \n
