In our imaginings of Paris, painter and graphic artist <strong>Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec</strong> (1864-1901) has no small role to play. In his prints, posters, paintings, and drawings, the artist <strong>immortalized the city's Belle Epoque nightlife</strong> and <strong>put the northern neighborhood of Montmartre on the global map of creative-hedonist hotspots.</strong><br/><br/> The son of old French nobility, Toulouse-Lautrec seems to have been drawn early on to visions of a demimonde, centering his attention on the <strong>dance halls, cabarets, and brothels </strong>of Montmartre and adopting <strong>famed dancers and singers</strong> as his subjects, most notably Jane Avril. His works include both lively performance scenes and quiet, tender "after-hours" portraits such as <em>The Sofa</em> and <em>In Bed. </em>Stylistically, he mastered <strong>both bold graphics, as celebrated in his promotional posters of Jane Avril, and a loose yet evocative sketchwork</strong>.<br/><br/> Though he died aged just 36, due to complications from alcoholism and syphilis, Toulouse-Lautrec's cultural influence was immense. This introductory book takes a walk through his world of singers, dancers, musicians, and prostitutes to reveal an artist of <strong>great humanity, striking figurative skill, and a pronounced sense for the energy and stories of a city</strong>.

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT BOOK OF POETRY FROM LANA DEL REY, VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS 'Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic.<br/><br/>Lana Del Rey Lana's breathtaking first book solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana's typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. <br/><br/>The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word audiobook which features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems from the book accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning musician Jack Antonoff.

Orlam reveals PJ Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet - whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.<br/><br/>Nine-year-old Ira-Abel Rawles lives on Hook Farm in the village of UNDERWHELEM. Next to the farm is Gore Woods, Iras sanctuary, overseen by Orlam, the all-seeing lambs eyeball who is Ira-Abels guardian and protector. Here, drawing on the rituals, childrens songs, chants and superstitions of the rural West Country of England, Ira-Abel creates the twin realm through which she can make sense of an increasingly confusing and frightening world. Orlam follows Ira and the inhabitants of UNDERWHELEM month by month through the last year of her childhood innocence. The result is a poemsequence of light and shadow suffused with hints of violence, sexual confusion and perversion, the oppression of family, but also ecstatic moments in sunlit clearings, song and bawdy humour. The broad theme is ultimately one of love carried by Iras personal Christ, the constantly bleeding soldier-ghost Wyman-Elvis, who bears The Word: Love Me Tender.<br/><br/>Orlam is not only a remarkable coming-of-age tale, but the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades. Orlam also reveals P J Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.

The third book about Offecct's collaborations with various designers from around the world is a personal and open-hearted conversation with Lucy Kurrein. She s been very involved in the creation of the book and offers a unique insight into the world of images and ideas that has shaped her design philosophy.<br/><br/>In the book, we follow design writer Max Fraser to Lucy Kurrein's studio for a personal and sincere conversation. The extensive visual material that Kurrein herself has selected reflects her personality, sources of inspiration and design process. Just as in her work, we meet a designer where care for every detail results in a natural simplicity that requires time. I am selective about the projects I take on. If I hired a team, I could take on three times as much work, but I enjoy designing everything with my own hands and allowing a slow and considered design process, she says.<br/><br/>Lucy Kurrein also talks about how her creativity when young was nurtured by visits to art museums, sculpture parks and galleries and why the relationship between the product and the human body is so central to her.<br/><br/>Lucy Kurrein began her career on an Art Foundation Diploma at the Leeds College of Art and Design. She went on to study Furniture Design at Buckinghamshire University where she graduated in 2007. After some years at Matthew Hiltons and Pearson Lloyds respectively, all British Royal Designers for Industry, she set up her own design studio in London in 2013. The same year she launched her first sofa in collaboration with SCP. In 2015 Lucy was awarded Young Furniture Designer of the Year by Homes and Gardens magazine. She is one of the most exciting new designers working in Europe today.
