Will Schutt's first collection of poems, “Westerly”, is a dense musing on the perpetual dialogue between the dead and the living, the past and the present, childhood and adulthood, historical and personal memory.

Two recent sets of multiple castings by Allan McCollum show the artist reaching beyond his familiar theme of mechanical replication to address issues of memory, history, and death.

In his 1892 essay, “Ornament in Architecture,” Louis Sullivan summarized the aesthetic implications of the steel frame: if the structure of a building and its exterior walls are now separate systems, what is the relationship between the two? The chapter features his suggestion that “it would be greatly for our aesthetic good if we would refrain entirely from the use of ornament for a period of years, in order that our thought might concentrate acutely upon the perfection of buildings well formed and comely in the nude.” For much of the twentieth century, Sullivan's Schlesinger and Mayer department store, later known as Carson Pirie Scott (1899–1903), was regarded as the physical manifestation of that impulse, a building in which ornament had been stripped away from all but the base and attic, revealing the naked form of the frame underneath. In this way it seemed to herald a new aesthetic in which the representation of technology replaced conventional forms of ornament. Considered in the urban and social context of late nineteenth-century Chicago, the Schlesinger and Mayer building illustrates Sullivan's belief in the ongoing viability of architectural ornament, in particular as a representation of American democracy. This contextual reading suggests an alternative narrative of architectural modernism, one in which the curtain wall, so long understood as a form of structural expressionism, is also recognized for its decorative function.

On 6 September 2018, the Indian Supreme Court delivered a very progressive verdict on LGBTQ+ rights. In celebration of the one-year anniversary, Mohini Books has created an anthology with texts focused on fearless love. The verdict shows inclusiveness in both form and content, a value that is arguably the best of both Indian culture and queer culture. Inclusiveness has also been a guiding value in the creation of this anthology. The contributors self-identify as men, women, cis, trans, gender non-conforming, gay, straight and with various other sexual and gender labels. Many are Indian or Indian-origin, but there are also contributors with Scandinavian, Pakistani, Sudanese and other national backgrounds. Texts are in the form of poetry, essay, short story, song lyrics, and letter. These are interspersed with quotes from the beautiful verdict. The anthology is available digitally for free – and as a printed book at production cost.
