Tucker Nichols' POSTCARDS FROM VERMONT documents some of the stream of postcards he sent to Gallery 16 from Vermont where he was getting married in the summer of 2006. "I spent the month of June with my wife at her late grandmother's farmhouse in Vermont preparing for our wedding. We spent our days painting the house and raking muck from the pond in the company of an old blind dog. Before I left San Francisco, I told Griff I'd send him a few postcards from the country. I made these drawings in a small studio beside the pond using whatever materials I could find in the desk up at the house"--Tucker Nichols.

Book excerpt: Postcards from Montana is a woman's testimonial of love for a place. How to put into words and images that love when the place is so vast, so unfathomable in its beauty? I write these 'postcards' not to claim fluency or belonging, says poet Brooke Herter James, but rather to set down exactly what I see . . . . And what a joy it is to see love and place through the camera lens and praiseful language of a spirit attuned to what others might take for granted. These aren't simply postcards from Montana: these are postcards from the heart. Thank you, Brooke Herter James, for waking me again in the paradise of gratitude.
Download or read book Postcards written by Annie Proulx and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. Annie Proulx's first novel, Postcards, winner of the 1993 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction, tells the mesmerizing tale of Loyal Blood, who misspends a lifetime running from a crime so terrible that it renders him forever incapable of touching a woman. Blood's odyssey begins in 1944 and takes him across the country from his hardscrabble Vermont hill farm to New York, across Ohio, Minnesota, and Montana to British Columbia, on to North Dakota, Wyoming, and New Mexico and ends, today, in California, with Blood homeless and near mad. Along the way, he must live a hundred lives to survive, mining gold, growing beans, hunting fossils and trapping, prospecting for uranium, and ranching. In his absence, disaster befalls his family; greatest among their terrible losses are the hard-won values of endurance and pride that were the legacy of farm people rooted in generations of intimacy with soil, weather, plants, and seasons. Postcards chronicles the lives of the rural and the dispossessed and charts their territory with the historical verisimilitude and writerly prowess of Cather, Dreiser, and Faulkner. It is a new American classic.

Illustrated with over 350 exceptional photo postcards taken from archives and private collections across the country, the scope of the Real Photo Postcard Guide spans technical considerations of production, characteristics of superior images, collecting categories, and methods of research for dating photo postcards and investigating their photographers. In a broader sense, the authors show how "real photo postcards" document the social history of America. From family outings and workplace awards to lynchings and natural disasters, every image captures a moment of American cultural history from the society that generated them.
