In a time of violence / by Boland, Eavan.(CARDINAL)514724;
A collection of poems exploring "the unspoken." To paraphrase The Parcel: "There are dying arts and one of them is the way my mother used to make up a parcel. Paper first, mid-brown and coarse, then the scissors, not a glittering let-up, but a dour pair. Ball of twine, flame, sealing wax, melted and spread into a brittle terracotta medal. Names and places, crayon and fountain pen, town underlined once, country twice. It's ready for the post."

The fruits of empire : art, food, and the politics of race in the age of American expansion / by Klein, Shana,1983-author.; University of California Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)280932;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Westward the star of empire : California grapes and western expansion -- The citrus awakening : Florida oranges and the Reconstruction South -- Cutting away the rind : A history of racism and violence in representations of watermelon -- Seeing spots : The fever for bananas, land, and power -- Pineapple Republic : representations of the Dole pineapple from Hawaiian annexation to statehood -- Conclusion : new directions in scholarship on food in American art."The Fruits of Empire is a history of American expansion through the lens of art and food. After the Civil War, Americans consumed an unprecedented amount of fruit as it grew more accessible with advancements in refrigeration and transportation technologies. This excitement for fruit manifested in an explosion of fruit imagery within still life paintings, prints, trade cards, and more. Images of fruit labor and consumption by immigrants and people of color also gained cultural currency, merging alongside the efforts of expansionists to assimilate land and, in some cases, people into the national body. Divided into five chapters on visual images of the grape, orange, watermelon, banana, and pineapple, this book demonstrates how representations of fruit struck the nerve of the nation's most heated debates over land, race, and citizenship in the age of high imperialism." --

Art in the blood / by MacBird, Bonnie.(CARDINAL)353520;
1888. After a disasterous Ripper investigation, Holmes sinks into a deep depression. Watson can do nothing to help his friend, but an encoded letter from the French singer, Emmeline La Victoire, rekindles the detective's interest. The singer's illegitimate son, Emil, who is 10, has disappeared, and may have been kidnapped. As Holmes and Watson travel to Paris, they discover that Emil's father, the Earl of Pellingham and a famous art collector and humanitarian, may, in fact be behind the theft of the priceless Marseilles Nike as well as the disappearance and murder of young boys working in the Earl's silk factory. Before Holmes and Watson can search for Emil, they must work through obstacles laid down by a French rival detective, Mycroft's obstruction, and series of apparently related murders--all events that hinder the detectives' search for the truth.
