Sonic Poetry
This interdisciplinary study focuses on sonic poetry, an experimental artistic practice in the post-digital era. It discusses a transmedial, language-based sound art, according to literary concepts, as well as media theory, linguistics, and sound studies.

Percussionists
Alphabetically arranged entries summarize the professional careers of over 500 percussionists from various musical venues. Due to the shrinking global village, ethnic percussion was rediscovered and incorporated into the concert hall. Since percussion transcends all musical styles, it often is featured center stage as a solo or ensemble in heterogeneous musical settings. These excerpts represent percussionists who spent the majority of their lives performing as collaborative or solo artists or working as inventors or manufacturers of percussion instruments. Where applicable, select discographies, bibliographies, and videographies accompany the entries. This detailed reference will appeal to professional percussionists, instructors, and percussion historians. Data has been compiled from numerous disparate sources and entries are cross referenced. Individual bibliographies include articles by or about the person and a general bibliography lists broader reference works. Discographies and videographies reflect samples of an artist's work. Select photographs complement the text.
Dickie Landry's New York, 1969-1979
Richard "Dickie" Landry, from Cecilia, La., is an artist, photographer, musician, film maker, farmer, and all around Renaissance man. Whether working with Paul Simon, Philip Glass, Keith Sonnier, or Robert Rauschenberg, Dickie has surrounded himself with some incredibly talented people. To be sure, he is as equally talented in his own right. As it turned out, a camera was placed in his hand when he arrived in New York City in the late 1960s. Dickie captured some incredible moments in black and white images during a transformative and powerful time for the larger art world a period that saw artists creating works that would challenge the norms and utilize new mediums, techniques, and ideas to buck the cultural status quo. These images form the basis for this catalog, which corresponds to an exhibit organized by the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum in the spring 2014. These photographs provide powerful documentation and imagery of a time and place that is a critical foundation for today's contemporary art scene. This catalog is a joint publication of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Press and the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum.
