{"product_id":"the-unauthorized-audobon-9781611861143","title":"The Unauthorized Audobon","description":"In an age of experts and individualism, metrics and competition, \u003ci\u003eThe Unauthorized Audubon \u003c\/i\u003eis something of an anachronism. In fact, its creators, printmaker Laura B. DeLind and poet Anita Skeen, never set out to produce a book at all when they began exchanging prints and poems, but something happened along the way. As they began to appreciate at a deeper level the skill involved in each other's work, they began to find meaning in small things--a pattern, a memory, a carefully chosen word. In his essay \"Plugging into Essential Sources,\" Eric Booth introduces the concept of \"response-ability.\" He describes it as the capacity to connect with the artful work of another. It represents both our need and our promise to respond in an open, eager, and multi-sensual way to a world of possibility. Without this capacity we are crippled in our ability to imagine and to grow. This book is all about response-ability as experienced by the two artists and the visitors to an exhibit of their work at the Michigan State University Museum. This concept and activity animates the twenty-two bird-like spirits found herein, reminding us that there are other such spirits hovering expectantly just beyond the pages, simply waiting for the imagining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura B.
