Poetry. MANNEQUIN RISING is the fifth book of poetry from Governor-General's Award winner Roy Miki, his first since THERE in 2006. In MANNEQUIN RISING, Miki describes a world of consumerism, and answers the visual cacaphony of commodities and window displays with a series of poems and photomontages that reflect the uncanny juxtapositioning he sees all around him. The centerpiece of MANNEQUIN RISING is a triptych of poem sequences, "Scoping (also pronounced Shopping) in Kits," "A Walk on Granville Island," and "Viral Travels in Tokyo," where Miki closely observes three different neighborhoods and their mannequins / mannikins / manakins / manikins, almost alien yet familiar beings inhabiting and altering relationships between nature and culture.

With a domestic market of around 70 billion dollars, the Indian fashion industry employs over 60 million people and accounts for a sizeable chunk of the country's GDP. Despite this, models-the most visible yet voiceless actors of the industry-are rarely given the recognition they deserve. It is this overlooked demographic that forms the focus of Manjima Bhattacharjya's remarkable study, bringing these women's voices and perspectives to us. Tracing the rise of the modelling and beauty industry from the 1960s to the present day, Bhattacharjya argues that modelling is work, and should be recognized as such. At the heart of the book lies a difficult question: should the industry be seen as objectifying women or as acknowledging their agency? Mannequin is also an individual's personal exploration of the changing relationship between fashion and feminism.

While driving on the Northern State Parkway to teach a Bible study for young adults in December 2019, Judith Gaffney heard the Spirit of the Lord say that 2020 would be a year of horses and chariots. She knew that this meant warfare. The next day during Sunday service, she shared what she had been told and everyone was attentive. She knew that God was preparing them for something and that they must fast and pray. Later, during the COVID-19 quarantine of March 2020, God spoke to the author’s heart about the need for His army, the church, to arise. He told her to write this book to share tools that would help His army train and gain strength for the days and years ahead. The book includes numerous “workout exercises,” tips on resisting the devil and committing yourself to Jesus, inspirational Bible verses, and testimonies and reflections to help you put learning into action. Stand and take your place as a solider of the Lord in these critical times with the wisdom and guidance in “Army Rise Up”.

In The Rise of Surrealism, Willard Bohn examines the various literary and artistic developments that prepared the way for the international Surrealist movement—including Cubism, Metaphysical Art, and Dada—as well as the triumph of Surrealism itself. In an analysis that spans the first two-thirds of the twentieth century, Bohn surveys writers and artists from France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and the United States, examining both their aversion to mimesis and the solutions they devised to replace it. Much of the book is concerned with competing artistic models and with different strategies for creating avant-garde works, and focuses on such figures as Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Weber, Marius de Zayas, Francis Picabia, Giorgio de Chirico, André Breton, J. V. Foix, and Joan Miró. The dynamics of the imagery that painters and poets chose to employ and the new roles this imagery assumed in their compositions are also discussed.

In the late nineteenth century, Scandinavian urban dwellers developed a passion for a new, utterly modern sort of visual spectacle: objects and effigies brought to life in astonishingly detailed, realistic scenes. The period 1880-1910 was the popular high point of mannequin display in Europe. Living Pictures, Missing Persons explores this phenomenon as it unfolded with the rise of wax museums and folk museums in the largest cities of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Mark Sandberg asks: Why did modernity generate a cultural fascination with the idea of effigy? He shows that the idea of effigy is also a portal to understanding other aspects of visual entertainment in that period, including the widespread interest in illusionistic scenes and tableaux, in the "portability" of sights, spaces, and entire milieus. Sandberg investigates this transformation of visual culture outside the usual test cases of the largest European metropolises. He argues that Scandinavian spectators desired an unusual degree of authenticity--a cultural preference for naturalism that made its way beyond theater to popular forms of museum display. The Scandinavian wax museums and folk-ethnographic displays of the era helped pre-cinematic spectators work out the social implications of both voyeuristic and immersive display techniques. This careful study thus anticipates some of the central paradoxes of twentieth-century visual culture--but in a time when the mannequin and the physical relic reigned supreme, and in a place where the contrast between tradition and modernity was a high-stakes game.

Very candid and outspoken comment on the political, economic, and social milieu. The poet has also explored various shades of thought processes. Its like a window to human insecurities, aberrations, and weaknesses. Rich with imagery and metaphors, the poems are a delight to read.
