Blooming Through the Ashes: An International Anthology on Violence and the Human Spirit
The Legacy Project is proud to present Blooming Through the Ashes: An International Anthology on Violence and the Human Spirit. Blooming Through the Ashes features writings about historic violence and its aftermath in a global anthology that includes the work of Nobel laureates Seamus Heaney, Toni Morrison, Czeslaw Milosz, Wole Soyinka, Elie Wiesel, Imre Kertesz, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, Eugenio Montale, and Pablo Neruda. In non-fiction and fiction, these writers and others reflect on the litany of man-made violence that marred the twentieth century and that shadows the twenty-first: including the Holocaust, the Gulag, the Cultural Revolution, apartheid, repression in Latin America, genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, and 9/11.

Frank Stella on the Polish Village Series
In the early 1970s, Frank Stella began creating the large, three-dimensional works that would become emblematic of his prodigious career. The Polish Village Series captured an extraordinary exchange across time between a contemporary artist and the carpenters who built the wooden synagogues of 18th century Poland. Frank Stella looks back at this seminal series.
