Mostly, the people who receive the books and let me in on their feelings about it, where they read it, how it affected their week and so on. But also many of my friends who told me to keep going when something difficult made it seem like it was impossible to continue. Fernanda was one of these friends, always introducing me to people as ‘Gemma with the c project’. Fernanda and I have similar taste in literature, and I have spent the last 4 days at her family home in Hermosillo, Mexico, where her childhood bedroom’s bookcase is almost the same as mine (although in four languages as Fernanda is fluent in Spanish, English, French and Italian). I felt this was the most beautiful thing, people all over the world finding and loving the same books and enrichening their minds in the same way. This is what we hope to do with sendb00ks, allow anybody with a phone, postbox and appetite for information to have the greatest education possible via literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFernanda also helped me develop a way of running the project from wherever Charles and I go on our trip, giving me a reading list of Latin American writers. She recommended that as our trip would begin in Baja California we should read the small but perfectly formed novella The Pearl by John Steinbeck as it explores the history, geography, religion and feeling of a place and how it affects Kino, whom the story revolves around. One of the most potent short stories I have ever read, this is what we will send to you in April.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the commencing months, we have decided to send each book with a chapter of a journal which Charles and I will write each month in relation to the book we send. This can be found inside the book, along with the work of the monthly artist, hand made in each country. It has been so challenging and rewarding to write this and go over it with Fernanda who really understands Mexico. Fernanda has introduced us to local writers inspired by the Sonoran desert living in Hermosillo, a town that many believe to be a fictional town that Roberto Bolanõ created in his novel The Savage Detectives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am going on, but I would like to invite you all to sign up for April\/May to receive The Pearl by John Steinbeck, an 8 page long mini book\/journal by Charles Flamand and I, and the wonderful work of Fernanda.

There are bookstores everywhere here, small independent ones that host poetry readings and offer spaces for writers to work, and larger ones too with good English sections.

We considered Octavio Paz, who was problematic for the artists I approached, Malcolm Lowry, Antonin Artaud, Rosario Castellanos (I will post soon a short story by her I loved very much) also very exciting contemporary writers working on the borderlands like Valeria Luiselli, but in so many cases there were problems with the rights or distribution. A brilliant artist Lucia Vidales recommended that we send a book about the conquest of the Aztecs, The Broken Spear by Miguel Leon Portilla, a great poem about the origins of Mexican nationality and the defence of a culture and civilisation before the Spanish conquest. We at Sendb00ks urge you to source these books, study and love them, while we work to make more relationships with different publishers who can help us send them at a later date. Lucia and I will work together when we arrive to Guatemala, the birthplace of one of her favourite poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucia had, in her bag a book which surprised me, The Art of Cruelty by Maggie Nelson, a writer from California who I became obsessed with when I discovered her, devouring all books, interviews and articles. Later, I met with Ana Segovia, a Mexican artist and an avid reader who listens to audiobooks while painting movie stills from the golden age of Mexican cinema. In one of her paintings, cowboys sit around a table with I love Dick by Chris Kraus. We came back to Maggie Nelson again and her writing on gender and identity.

This month’s artwork is two portraits and a selection of writings by artist, filmmaker and photographer Michella Bredahl. Her intimate portraits have been woven around the landmark feminist essay \u003ci\u003eA Room of One’s Own\u003c\/i\u003e by Virginia Woolf that emphasises the importance of literal and figurative space as a requirement for creativity. Born in Denmark but currently living in Paris, Michella was educated at the Danish Photography School and The National Film School of Denmark and her latest film Chassé premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. She specialises in portraiture and auteur-driven documentary films that give her work an intimacy and an emotional accessibility that blends perfectly with Woolf’s preoccupation with sentiment and self-examination. Originally written in 1929, \u003ci\u003eA Room of One’s Own\u003c\/i\u003e has become eerily relevant almost one hundred years later as we spend more time inside than ever, triggering a collective rethinking on the importance and function of physical and situational space. This month we are working with Michella to revisit the text from this perspective and explore how that ‘for some people who never had their own room, a room can also become a book, an object or something else’ that instills in us a feeling of freedom and the confidence to express our creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sendb00ks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32817931714631,"sku":"12","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/products\/ScreenShot2021-02-18at4.50.08PM.png?v=1613663551"},{"product_id":"march-with-berta-blanca-t-ivanow","title":"April with Berta Blanca T.

She is passionate about artists like Louise Bourgeois and Marina Abramovic, listening to the radio or podcasts while weaving. Marie describes her practice as a necessary process of storytelling.

Presenting us with a rare and exceptional opportunity to witness fairness, beauty assists us in our attention to justice. The beautiful object renders fairness, an abstract concept, concrete by making it directly available to our sensory perceptions. With its direct appeal to the senses, beauty stops us, transfixes us, fills us with a “surfeit of aliveness.” In so doing, it takes the individual away from the center of his or her self-preoccupation and thus prompts a distribution of attention outward toward others and, ultimately, she contends, toward ethical fairness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAuthor: Elaine Scarry\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback 144 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780691089591\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sendb00ks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56259494117721,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/files\/OnBeautyScary.jpg?v=1759140360"},{"product_id":"things-fall-apart","title":"Things Fall Apart","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-short-description rte\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOkonkwo is the greatest warrior alive, famous throughout West Africa.
