Smokehole
From the Mother Tongue Spells & Invocation collection.
Nominated by Design Strategist, Creative Director & Gallery Owner Mitch Jafery |
"Storytelling as soul-repair: myth as resistance to the mechanized tongue." |
Today, as we are confronted many crossroads in our lives: identity, technology, love, seduction, politics, celebrated mythologist and wilderness guide Martin Shaw delivers Smoke Hole – three ancient myths that serve as metaphors for our world today.
He invites us to use these stories to help find ‘a commons for the imagination, a place to breathe deeper, feel steadier and become acquainted with rapture.’ Smoke Hole is a passionate call to arms and an invitation to use these stories to face the complexities of contemporary life.
Borrow, share, exchange as you wish, and return by the end of the season on February 6th. Pick up at the gallery anytime, and return and swap for a new book of your choosing. To our global friends - online borrowing is possible, just pay for the shipping there and back.
The Mother Tongue Library is a love letter to the thinkers, writers, and artists who’ve given us the language of courage when we needed it most.
