Best Selling Books by William Fuller

Poetry. Drawing equally on Buddhist sutras and country blues, William Fuller''s SADLY derives compassion from its ironic vision. Quick and sometimes elusive, these poems observe fluctuations in economic markets, the weather, and human consciousness. "Despite the confession that the ''nonexistence of essences is a pain in my heart,'' these poems remain confident of ''the insubordination of many/ thousand aggregates swirling up the light pole.'' And they generously share that confidence with the reader in return for a politic hope: ''if we could only stand back/ as "they" rather than "us."'' Hitting the marvelous heights of his earlier collection, AETHER, SADLY finds Fuller''s ''sloping toward heaven/ but not parasitic on it''"--Simon Perril.

These poems were written over a period of several years. They cover a range of topics from memories of segregation in Alabama, to high school loves, to the discovery of an exotic, albeit unsavory, world from Malaysia to the Philippines. Back in the U.S., the elation and heartbreak of love led to philosophical skepticism which he expressed in brutal sarcasm. Both the light and darkness of life can be found here.

This beautifully presented volume is a faithful reproduction of W. F. Pocock''s book of 1819 and a major landmark in the publication of architectural facsimiles. It is probably the most important Georgian pattern book not hitherto reprinted. This remarkable work is of fundamental importance in understanding the dynamic story of church and chapel building in the period after Waterloo, and was the only book ever produced on this subject before 1836. The 44 model designs were enthusiastically copied, especially by Nonconformists, and the letterpress provided sound, practical suggestions for those contemplating building. It also had enormous influence in North America where countless buildings can be traced back to Pocock''s manual, a compelling chapter in the story of transatlantic architectural history. The original work of 87 pages is accompanied by a scholarly, well-illustrated introduction by Christopher Webster, the leading expert on churches of this period, who sets the book in its wider context.
