This brightly illustrated romp through art-writer LUCY LIPPARD's life sparkles with the remarkable people she has known and loved. Framed by fascinating ancestors, her adventures run from childhood in four states to college with study abroad through her influential decades in New York City, where she organized dozens of exhibitions, authored hundreds of articles, and co-founded Heresies: A Feminist Journal of Art and Politics, the artist's-book center Printed Matter, and activist artists group PAD/D.
Lippard modestly touches on the roles she played in Conceptual Art and the Feminist Art movements. Her accounts of recent years focus on the art, landscape, and culture of the American Southwest, where she moved in the early 1990s. She also reveals the backstory of several of the twenty-five books she has authored.
Throughout all are the humor and puckishness so quintessentially Lippard.

MARGARET RANDALL’s most keen essays to date will prompt readers to rethink topics of death, lies, memory, language, landscape, poetry, anger, sex, food, war, pandemics, violence, feminism, imagination, power, identity, and of course luck. This singular book is complemented by drawings of artist BARBARA BYERS.
“Truth is Margaret Randall’s essential philosophy. She is there in the pantheon with Gwendolyn Brooks, June Jordan, Adrienne Rich, Wanda Coleman, Audre Lorde. Her humanity and humor, her comedy and tragedy, her activism and her love, all that Margaret Randall is, is the definition of a poet.”
—BOB HOLMAN, poet, filmmaker, and founder of the Bowery Poetry Club
