PROUD SHOES is a lighthearted poetic romp through the obsession with shoes, with all of the
innuendo and intrigue, history and mystery of untied tongues and loosened laces from combat
boots to Converse Chucks. Illustrated with drawings, monoprints, and photographs, it is a
celebration of shoes from high-heeled sneakers to sexy slingbacks.
NEW FROM PALISADE PRESS:
UNSQUARE DANCE: RIFFS AND REFLECTIONS ON DAVE BRUBECK
is a 62-poem cycle in response to compositions by the jazz giant who for
more than haf a century produced a body of original work that stands as
a milestone in music history.
The poems draw on work from throughout Brubeck's long career, and
the paintings by Lynda Smith reflect the bold covers that he used on
many of his album covers, particularly for his adventures in different
time signatures.
