Carcanet Press Ltd Not Many Love Poems
At the age of fifty Linda Chase began to publish poems, to win prizes, and to develop her skills as a performer of her own work and a facilitator and impresario for others. "Not Many Love Poems" is a sensual celebration of the varied relationships that make up lives richly lived and imagined. Chase's imagination is stimulated by paintings (she was artist-in-residence at Manchester City Art Gallery, and produced ekphrastic work), by gardening, by memory and by love. A battle with cancer resulted in some of her most harrowing and healing work. Her style is insistently demotic: the poems carry her voice: gentle, sharp, wry, loving. The reader senses a generous honesty at work, and an insatiable curiosity. Linda Chase's wit and sharp eye for telling detail make "Not Many Love Poems" a collection in which the poet can express heartbreak, and the narratives of the everyday reveal unique moments of insight.

Oklahoma City Museum of Art Shining Spirit: Westheimer Family Collection
With styles ranging from traditional to abstract, the works in this volume span late nineteenth-century and twentieth-century American art and include examples from both Europe and Latin America. The common thread is excellence. Many of the paintings play on the boundaries between reality and fantasy, contain elements of humor or satire, or are rendered in a highly colorful, expressive style which does not directly imitate the natural world.
