Johnson's powerful memoir, \u003ci\u003eLow--\u003c\/i\u003eselected by acclaimed writer Maggie Nelson as the winner of Fonograf Editions' inaugural essay contest--tells the redemptive story of an artist who came to embrace her lineage. In the tradition of other outcast artists who have spun refuse into art, the essays in \u003ci\u003eLow\u003c\/i\u003e reclaim trash as a precious resource and a medium for storytelling. \u003cbr\u003eIn this bracing debut, Johnson describes her life and art, including the cut paper collages that punctuate these essays, in vivid detail while offering smart and visceral reflections on a wide range of literary and visual artists who have inspired her, from Shakespeare to contemporary conceptual artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles. As Maggie Nelson writes, \"Low's provocations and attestations stayed with me long after I turned its final page. I found myself rooting hard for its narrator--while also realizing that there is no need, as she has clearly found her way, and is now our teacher.\"\u003cbr\u003eAn indispensable meditation on poverty and art, and a compelling corrective to conventional memoirs about overcoming disadvantage, \u003ci\u003eLo\u003c\/i\u003ew announces the arrival of an important new voice in creative nonfiction\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42736555720767,"sku":"9781964499291","price":213.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/6daa8f56f6a2ff7a9c4a04e08cdca1b5_f0c5e32b-85a0-4bee-b7c2-e0bb3f5d7653.webp?v=1765147036","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/low-notes-on-art-trash-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
