Hardback. Etat : Good. "When Helen LaFrance picked up a paintbrush, her thoughts took flight, soaring like a bird across a world remembered, back to a place that used to be."She Remembered It All: The Art of Memory Painter Helen LaFrance, a children's book, explores the life and art of Helen LaFrance, a Kentucky memory painter and outsider artist who captured a lively, vibrant view of rural life in a changing world. Her nearly century-long creative journey began at age five when her mother taught her to draw and later to paint with pigments made from berry juice, laundry bluing, and plant leaves. LaFrance developed a unique style of creative expression and worked outside the conventional art world. Her work has been compared to other well-known outsider artists like Grandma Moses, Horace Pippin, and Clementine Hunter."What a great tribute to Kentucky's own 'Black Grandma Moses!' Helen LaFrance is my favorite painter. I've spent hours looking at her art, amazed at the renditions of the people and the places she remembered-the detail, the loving way she brought the old-time days to life. She was a genius talent from right here in Kentucky which makes me very proud. Jayne Moore Waldrop is a sort of genius too for bringing Helen LaFrance's life to us in living color in this children's book!"-Crystal Wilkinson, Kentucky Poet Laureate 2021-22 and author of Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts"This new collaboration between Michael McBride and Jayne Moore Waldrop is a gentle delight; images and story are beautifully paired, and the reader feels throughout the quietude of Helen LaFrance creating her art. You can almost hear her brush at work and the sound of a clock ticking on the mantle."-Julyan Davis, artist (The American Ghosts Series), author (A History of Saints), semifinalist for the 22nd Thurber Prize. Michael McBride (illustrateur).…

Paperback. Etat : Good. "They had been told their sacrifice was for the public good. They were never told how much they would miss it, or for how long." Drowned Town explores the multigenerational impact caused by the loss of home and illuminates the joys and sorrows of a group of people bound together by western Kentucky's Land Between the Lakes and the lakes that lie on either side of it. The linked stories are rooted in a landscape forever altered by the mid-twentieth-century impoundment of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers and the seizing of property under the power of eminent domain to create a national recreation area on the narrow strip of land between the lakes. The massive federal land and water projects completed in quick succession were designed to serve the public interest by providing hydroelectric power, flood control, and economic progress for the region?at great sacrifice for those who gave up their homes, livelihoods, towns, and history. The narrative follows two women whose lives are shaped by their friendship and connection to the place, and their stories go back and forth in time to show how the creation of the lakes both healed and hurt the people connected to them. In the process, the stories emphasize the importance of sisterhood and family, both blood and created, and how we cannot separate ourselves from our places in the world.…
