“There is a man who exists as one of the most popular objects of leadership, legislation, and quasi-literature in the history of all men. . . . This man, that object of attention, attack, and vast activity, cannot make himself be heard, let alone understood. He has never been listened to. . . . That man is Black and alive in white America where the media of communication do not allow the delivery of his own voice, his own desires, his own rage.” MenAmericaDesireLiteratureBlackVoiceWhiteAttentionAliveHeardMediaObjectsCommunicationActivityUnderstoodRageLegislationDelivery Author:June Jordan
“When I first learned about Abrams and saw the types of books they were making, I knew I wanted my books to be published by them. Abrams books are special-when you hold one in your hands, you have the feeling that this book needed to be made. I once heard an artist say that books are fetish objects-I think Abrams gets that, because their books demand to be treasured. So who better to give comics art its proper due? I feel privileged to have found a home with Abrams.” ThinkingGivingFeelsFirstsArtMadeBookFeelingsHomeHandsWantedArtistFoundSawsHeardSpecialObjectsTypeNeededDemandDuesPrivilegedFetishTreasuredAbram Author:Jeff Kinney
