A Furnace in the Shadows
Poetry. "A FURNACE IN THE SHADOWS is much more than a new collection of poems by Paul Pines, or even a 'selected poems.' It is a body of work--a man's life, embodied in a lifetime's work. From the first poems here, written in the 1960s, when in his early twenties the poet set sail like a latter day Melville. He is a poet of high poetic ambition, like his honored masters, Paul Blackburn, Robert Duncan, William Bronk, Lorca, Yeats--poets in the ancient tradition of transcendental lyricism. One of the most amazing aspects of his work is the consistency of his voice and the clarity of his project over more than half a century. His voice and ambition, like his lyrical gift, were there at the start, and here they are at the end of this extraordinary book--toughened but not hardened by age and still sweetly dignified and clear-eyed. Paul Pines remains wise and deep beyond his years, no matter how old he grows. This is a book to treasure and constantly revisit, like a lifelong friend."--Russell Banks
The Anti-Group
The 'anti-group' is a major conceptual addition to the theory and practice of group psychotherapy. It comprises the negative, disruptive elements, which threaten to undermine and even destroy the group, but when contained, have the potential to mobilise the group's creative processes. Understanding the 'anti-group' gives therapists new perspectives on the nature of relationships and alternative strategies for managing destructive behaviour.

Bion, Rickman, Foulkes, and the Northfield Experiments
The Northfield Experiments, conducted during the Second World War, mark an important moment in the development of the therapeutic community movement. This is the first book to record the experiments in detail. The book provides a fascinating account of a significant advance in psychiatry.
Gathering Sparks
Poetry. "Paul Pines' poems are a bringing down of the mind into the heart, a bearing of witness to the eternal dance between the everyday and the numinous, (the unseen miracle of it). The poet in GATHERING OF SPARKS, even when suspended above the abyss in the surround of the darkest of darks, or perhaps because of it, gives us the greatest of gifts: the reveal of the Self to oneself in the make of the moment luminous." --Robert Murphy

The Future of (High) Culture in America
This book brings together the proceedings of the inaugural conference of the University of Arizona Center for American Culture and Ideas (CACI), an institution dedicated to studying and promoting the arts, particularly investigating the relationship between the high arts and culture in America. The conference was titled “The Future of (High) Culture in America,” and was held in March 2014. Presenters and respondents included practicing artists, critics, educators and academics, curators, and art purveyors, all at the top of their game. Papers were presented, followed by comments from a panel of respondents and an audience question and answer period. The conference title can be read as both a statement and a question: Is there high culture in America, and if so, is it in jeopardy? This suggests an opportunity to consider what “culture” or “high culture” means. This book explores a range of subjects, including music, dance, the visual arts (particularly photography), and more general philosophical and psychological matters. As such, it offers a fascinating and provocative kaleidoscope of the position of arts and culture in America.
