bosque brotante documents the interactions and objects making up Daisy Quezeda Ureña’s sculptural and participatory art project about the Rio Grande, or bosque, region. As Quezeda Ureña explains, in this artist book, “Land and community learning, relating to native flora and fauna, form the basis of this project. This book records the voices of collaborators from Tewa Women United, Cochiti Pueblo, and San Agustín, Chihuahua, who were brought together to discuss ecological relationships that are interlinked in the Rio Grande ecological zone. The emotional and intellectual bonds that link these people and their regions touch on themes of rootedness, human imposed disparities, historical records and traditions, and present actions towards restoration and awareness.”

Publisher Books for All Press
Author William Lofton
This publication is a collection of works on paper by 33 year old artist William Lofton. Mr. Lofton lives and works in New York. The works in this book are a collection of pieces he has made throughout the years, some dating back to 2001, but all unseen by the public. The works along with the text included (written by William) show his keen and poetic observation of people and culture. Our mission at Books for All Press is to publish artist's books with artists living with developmental disabilities and mental illnesses. The prime goal in these books is to let the work be seen solely as art work, devoid of any narrative about the artist's disabilities or illnesses. It places the artists among their contemporary peers and is seen without any preconception. The books are all distributed at bookstores, book fairs, and online. Talks of this publication began before the pandemic hit, but then once stay at home orders began, the funding to produce this book became more difficult to obtain, while knowing the work was needed in the world. People with developmental disabilities are at a higher risk for infection and severe long term effects. This compounded with the loss of their daily activities that are so instrumental to their wellness and mental health, proved to be a significant challenge. It became clearer that we needed to proceed with getting this book made and into the hands of the public and the artist himself. This book can is provided a sense of accomplishment both for the artist and publisher, seeing what can be done when faced with an ever declining economy and the massive set backs most are facing in the United States right now.

little black book by Theophilus Imani is a personal navigation through the complex identity of a Ghanaian born and raised in Italy. This project gathers notes taken in moments of black delight found between duty and pleasure, learning and leisure, and the loss and finding of self. The book comes to life with notes, photographs, and sketches weaved together in the most poetic of ways. We are proud of Theophilus and this gorgeous collaboration that we are thrilled to put forth into the world. If you would like to bring Theophilus to your institution to discuss his work and engage further on the topics, send us an email, we would love to do this with you and further grow the space of little black book. This is the final project in the 4-part beibi boi’s series.
