The poems in Still Possible pay homage to the invisible passage of time - the deep, private current that wends through our lives as a steadfast companion, sculpting our interior worlds as inexorably and exquisitely as its visible manifestations. Whyte turns his eye, and his pen, to the possibilities and harvests this shaping reveals: the shyness and vulnerability of love, the illusion of imperfection, and the new invitations that beckon along the way. The poems reflect an abiding faith in time's wisdom: a journey turned away from in youth waits patiently for later maturity; an early experience ripens in secret to reveal, decades later, a full understanding. Under Whyte's poet-philosopher gaze, a rain-soaked day in an Irish farmhouse becomes a meditation on the essence of a truly good day: a settled contentment, alert and open to whatever may call. Plus, sheep, Seamus Heaney and a dog. Powerful language rests on a foundationof what isn't said, a silence underpinning the eloquence of articulation. In this way, Still Possible hovers above the numinous and the unknowable - what we pray for, what we pass on, what mystery awaits and, in the end, what it might mean to be happy.

Williams had a genius for choosing strange themes, making them believable & suggestive of spiritual truths. The Tarot, the ancestor of all playing cards, is 1st mentioned in history in 1393. The origin of the deck is unknown. Tradition has it that the gypsies brought it from Egypt & that it was used for fortune telling. The deck was thought of as having magical properties. The most powerful of the cards were the Magic Arcana or Greater Trumps, 22 symbolic pictures whose mysteries have been interpreted & reinterpreted not only by occultists, but also by religious thinkers, psychoanalysts & literary anthropologists. Perhaps the most exquisite of these interpretations is the one contained in this extraordinary novel. In Williams' universe, sorcery can kill & the supernatural must be fought by the supernatural. But beneath the this imaginative surface is concealed a meticulously thought-out Christian message.Williams-novelist, poet, critic, dramatist & biographer-died in his native England in 5/1945. He had a lively, devoted following there & achieved considerable reputation as a lecturer on the faculty of Oxford University. T.S. Eliot, Dorothy Sayers & C.S. Lewis were among his distinguished friends & literary sponsors.

In 1959, at just 20 years of age, Antanas Sutkus began photographing on the streets of Vilnius, then the capital of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Lithuania. Strolling through the town, his attitude was more that of a flaneur than of a photographer, observing and absorbing the essence of daily life as it was offered to him by his fellow citizens. At the time it was difficult to find safe surroundings in such a highly controlling and controlled society as Soviet-occupied Lithuania. But the streets offered open spaces, diverse passersby, bustling traffic and multiple layers of events. It was here that people tried to carve out and preserve niches for their little moments of joy. Establishing these tiny islands of individuality within such a strict and brutal system sets the frame for Sutkus' street photography and the contrasting realities of his loving observations of everyday life.

Das Buch fu¿hrt Anja Conrads Serien "Cars", "Men at Work", "Reflections" und andere zusammen und betont die gemeinsamen Aspekte der ho¿chst unterschiedlichen Arbeiten. Das sind vor allem wiederkehrende Vorga¿nge, allta¿gliche Wahrnehmungen und Handlungen. Das Unbedeutende wird zu einer singula¿ren Erfahrung, Unwesentliches wird zu Wesentlichem. Die meisten Bilder entstehen zwar in einem urbanen Umfeld, sind aber keine Street Photography, sondern in aller Ruhe komponierte Aufnahmen. Anja Conrad (*1971), aufgewachsen in Chicago und New York, lebt und arbeitet in Frankfurt am Main. Seit 1992 wurden ihre Arbeiten im In- und Ausland ausgestellt, zum Beispiel im Ort fu¿r Fotografie, Basel, im Raum fu¿r Kultur der Commerzbank, Frankfurt am Main, und in der Open Source Gallery, Brooklyn, New York.

Relationships of speech tone and music have been intriguing me since my early studies in ethnomusicology and linguistics. Conducting fieldwork in Botswana in 1997 brought me in contact with a Bantu tone language of two tones, but in those days I had neither a matching methodology nor linguistic records that would have allowed me to focus on their relationship to singing and music ¿ a recurring situation that is mentioned, among others, in Catherine Ingram¿s contribution. The chance to participate in a DoBeS project in Upper Assam, India, documenting endangered Tai and Tibeto-Burman languages (isolating tone languages with contour tone) with project leader linguist Stephen Morey was a welcome challenge that taught me about the spectrum of possible relationships between speech tone and musics across different cultures. The ¿Workshop Relationships of Speech Tone and Music¿ in Vienna in 2012 developed out of the discourse between Stephen Morey and myself, and has become an important mile stone in what I see as an interdisciplinary basic research endeavour. Volumes dealing with this topic in a comparative way have previously been published, for example Thomas A. Sebeok & Donna Jean Umiker-Sebeok (1976) or Bonnie Wade (1993), but none of them targeted it as directly as the present one. The most valuable bibliography on the relation of speech tone and music is currently maintained online by Murray Schellenberg (2013); I had the pleasure of contributing a few items irregularly in the past.
