› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Writings of Emily Carr'Book summary:"Writing is a strong easement for perplexity. My whole life is spread out like a map with all the rivers and hills showing." Emily Carr recorded that reflection in her journal in the last decade of her long and productive creative life. Though her paintings have received the most attention, Carr was also a prolific and successful writer, producing seven books, one of which won the Governor General's Award for Literature in 1941. The Complete Writings of Emily Carr brings together all of this work, in over 850 pages of keen observation and earthy, unadorned prose. Though her style may seem artless, Carr was quite deliberate in crafting the vignettes and random-seeming reflections that, for the most part, make up her books: "I did not know book rules," she writes in her autobiography, Growing Pains, "I made two for myself. They were about the same as I used in painting--Get to the point as directly as you can; never use a big word if a little one will do." The Complete Writings includes the three volumes Carr published in her lifetime: the award-winning Klee Wyck, a collection of stories about the West Coast Native people who befriended and inspired her; The Book of Small, a recollection of her childhood in Victoria; and The House of All Sorts an account of Carr's experiences as a landlady in the 1930s. Also included are four posthumously published works: Growing Pains, The Heart of a Peacock, Pause: A Sketchbook, and Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of an Artist.
Edited by Doris Shadbolt (also author of the authoritative The Art of Emily Carr), The Complete Writings of Emily Carr offers an expansive autobiographical portrait of a perceptive, persistent, often contrary and cantankerous personality. Carr's connection to the environment and Native culture and her struggles as a woman artist make her work as relevant and inspiring today as ever. --Russell Prather [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Seven Journeys: The Sketchbooks of Emily Carr'Book summary:Emily Carr (1871-1945) was an extraordinary Canadian artist and writer. She is now a national cultural icon and is considered one of the great artists of the Americas. She found inspiration for her paintings in the lush and towering rain forests of the British Columbia coast and in the compelling totem poles that stood in Native villages.
This book is based on a special cache of small drawing books that offer a direct connection with Carrís hand, eye, and mind. Spanning the years 1927 to 1930, at a turning point in her life when she was in her mid-fifties, these sketches record seven significant journeys -- to isolated Native villages in coastal British Columbia and to eastern Canada to meet fellow artists in the Group of Seven. Two of the journeys were metaphorical -- to abstraction and to nature itself -- but both were an intrinsic part of all the others, as well as a part of the process of developing the powerful painting style that is uniquely hers.
Doris Shadbolt presents a selection of more than 80 of Carrís drawings. Her text, animated by quotations from previously unpublished writings by Carr, takes us along on these journeys, echoing the intimacy and immediacy of the drawings themselves. [via]
