Review # 1 was written on 2010-11-09 00:00:00 Takeshi Oikawa If you open this book at random, you'll find photographs of Lorine Niedecker, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Harry Partch, Basil Bunting, Aaron Siskind, Stevie Smith, and Booker Ervin with Kenneth Patchen - standing outside of the Half Note - just to mention a few. Along with these, you'll find photographs of the graves of Jelly Roll Morton, Walt Whitman, Kenneth Grahame, and Charles Parker, Jr. - again to mention a few. Also included are photographs of so-called "outsider artists" (a term used in the introduction that I wouldn't normally use) - Harold Jennings, Vollis Simpson, and Georgia Blizzard -once again, to just name a few. If these names are familiar to you, you'll no doubt want to get this book to see the photographs. If these names are unfamiliar to you, you may want to get this book to see Mr. Williams' photographs and to read his fascinating stories about and commentaries on the subjects. You'll probably find any number of new paths for your attentions to follow.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-21 00:00:00 Delia Ephron There is a picture of the Shadows-on-the-Teche in this book, an antebellum home right down the block from my parents' house. My mother worked in an office upstairs there for most of my early childhood, and I recall playing the part of a member of the Weeks family in some sort of colonial-Williamsburg-type tour of the grounds. I think my lines were to do with breaking my arm. I remember vividly the door Williams writes of, but was too young to know the names Henry Miller or Gertrude Stein. Apparently, they were among the guests there. Williams makes me proud to be a Southerner-- though of course I was never ashamed of it.
