An illustrated retrospective on the life and work of the colorful Detroit artist.Barbara Greene Mann was a force—gritty, loud, messy, and unapologetic. Her life was a maelstrom of creation, destruction, survival, and reinvention. She was witness to and an architect of Detroit's Cass Corridor art scene during the '70s and '80s, and her work captured the chaos and vibrancy of the city through a multitude of hand-colored prints, watercolor paintings, and lithographs. Barbara didn't just exist in the scene; she was the scene. With a personality as unfettered as her art, Barbara was described as an "outrageous pixie"—electric and always up to something. Whether sketching in the dark at a jazz show or battling for an elephant named Lucy, Barbara threw herself into everything she did, using her art as a weapon to fight for the underdog. This collection of her art along with essays by those who knew her offers a way into her complicated legacy. Barbara's work became a promise—one where, even in the bleakest moments, creativity can change the story.

Mosaic of Fire examines the personal and artistic interactions of four innovative American modernist women writers--Lola Ridge, Evelyn Scott, Charlotte Wilder, and Kay Boyle--all active in the Greenwich Village cultural milieu of the first half of the twentieth century. Caroline Maun traces the mutually constructive, mentoring relationships through which these writers fostered each other's artistic endeavours and highlights the ways in which their lives and works illustrate issues common to women writers of the modernist era. The feminist vision of poet-activist and editor Lola Ridge led her to form friendships with women writers of considerable talent, influencing this circle with the aesthetic and feminist principles outlined in her 1919 lecture, ""Woman and the Creative Will."" Ridge first encountered the work of Evelyn Scott when she accepted several of Scott's poems for publication in Others, and wrote a favourable review of her novel The Narrow House. Ridge also took notice of novice writer Kay Boyle shortly after Boyle's arrival in New York, hiring Boyle as an assistant at Broom. Almost a decade later, Scott introduced poet Charlotte Wilder to Ridge, inaugurating a sustaining friendship between the two. Mosaic of Fire examines how each of these writers was energised by the aesthetic innovations that characterised the modernist period and how each was also attentive to her writing as a method to encourage social change. Maun maps the ebb and flow of their friendships and careers, documenting the sometimes unequal nature of support and affection across this group of talented women artists.
