The writings which comprise my memoirs were started over twenty years ago when I was still painting. Verse can express, emotions of love, joy and sadness in a manner divorced from most painters' subject matter. This, I find, is especially so nowadays in the prevalence of the abstract - with most practitioners' work having many human verities absent - not only in Europe but world-wide. This change in thinking has been enormous and is one that is seen most clearly in the visual arts. Now that circumstances make painting impossible for me, writing has moved into first place. Even so, as with painting, progress has been slow. But writing is so very different from painting - so many thoughts and imaginative images, often distantly or subtly related, can imbue a poem with a lasting mystery, or a glimpse into a lovely insubstantial world. This volume completes my "Trilogy Chr(45)" "My Life", "My Painting" and finally "My Writing". Although they have emerged as separate books, the writing of Part III was essential to complete the narrative as I conceived it - there has been a great deal to think about, much to ponder over. 240pp.

223pp.Lembke writes a series of essays sure to delight vegetable gardeners. She explains how she and her husband came to be avid vegetable growers, and we follow the evolution of their large kitchen garden in North Carolina. Lembke explores the histories of the many vegetables they grow, along with the natural history of the plants and animals that share her garden, from weeds to reptiles to insects. We meet her neighbours, and she describes their varied gardens. Finally, she shares favourite recipes. Whether she is talking about vegetables or herbs, the natural history of the kitchen garden, or the healing power of gardening, Lembke infuses her essays with the fascination and joy of cultivation. Her book is recommended for gardeners who enjoy growing vegetables or who see a kitchen garden as more than rows of plants.
