This book calls for a rethinking of some of the well-worn narratives about art and work in 1970s New York. In six captivating essays, sequenced chronologically according to the order of events, this collection charts the young aspirational poet’s shifting queer social and artistic milieu.
This book recontextualizes Laura Gilpin’s photographs of the Navajo (Diné) people. Weaving together new archival findings, skillful visual analyses, and cultural theory from queer and Indigenous studies, Siddons recuperates Gilpin’s lesbian identity and argues for its significance.
Rather than capturing actual therapy sessions, these photos show their spaces, unoccupied, in between appointments. Thurber’s photos offer compelling proof that furniture, objects, artworks, and architectural details together create tremendously different spaces and experiences of therapy, positing that the arrangement of things shapes social and psychological dynamics, whether healing or disparaging.
