THE UNFOLDING BEAUTY OF POETRY Poetry rolls off the tongue with ease, Spoken with images the poet sees. It's for the young. It's for the old And all of those in between.

From its earliest days the Cleveland Museum of Art has demonstrated an active interest in Asian art. An important aspect of this initiative is the interest in the indigenous art of Japan evident in the museum's collection of screens, in which narrative subjects receive emphasis equal to those of the earlier Chinese-dominated tradition. Forty-four Japanese screens (many of them pairs), from the late 15th to the early 19th centuries, represent one of the largest and best collections in the West. This exhibition catalogue illustrates all these extraordinary objects together for the first time, in a generous format and the highest quality reproduction.

Unfolding Practice: Reflections on Learning and Teaching is a conversation between two artist-educators. Flowing across five chapters, the double sided accordion book has been curated from ten years of recorded conversations, field notes, planning, sketches, reflection, and teaching. The front of the book weaves text, illustration, cutouts, and screen prints, journeying through artistic process and educational practice. The back of the book is a guide, expanding on the practice of using accordion books as a tool for capturing, visualizing, and building upon reflective thinking. The brown paper alludes to the craft paper that is ubiquitous in schools and captures process more than the preciousness of a final product.

Children are at peace when those who care for them have learned to rest in God’s loving arms. I know this because long before my mother wrote this book I saw her live its truth. A Pillow on the Highway is a living, breathing exposition of Jeremiah 6:16, which brings into the brightest focus what the author has lived for decades and what God Almighty intends us to experience every day...a treasure of truth and testimony that will transform your life. LCDR Carey Cash, US Navy Chaplain, author of A Table in the Presence; Naples, Italy By using simple situations all around us to describe God’s abundant and gracious providence, we discover we can truly rest and trust in our God who is our pillow. Mark Gollop; Dorset, England A Pillow on the Highway is a strong message about how we have lost our way. The picture is the story of our lives. Each chapter brings us back to the only true rest – surrender, daily surrender to the sovereignty of God. Peggy Davis; Virginia Beach, Virginia In this unique book, Billie Cash shows us that Christ’s mighty, finished work opens to us a rest that our frantic, modern world can never deliver. In a deeply creative and most refreshing way Billie draws her reader out after this awesomely available rest.

Over there, here and everywhere! Not a single person seen as if humans had deserted the planet and gone to some other planet. Or war had been declared!
