His academic pursuits and personal passions converge in this work, reflecting his deep appreciation for the dynamic relationship between visual arts and theatrical performance. Baker'Äôs previous work has established him as a leading voice in the field, offering unique insights that inspire further dialogue among practitioners and theorists. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Exhibition Drama" to anyone interested in the evolution of theater, cultural studies, or the arts in general. Baker'Äôs scholarship not only enriches our understanding of drama as a complex art form but also invites readers to reconsider the role of visual exhibitions as vital contributors to theatrical innovation.

The Affirmations

Luke Hathaway

”...a trans-mystical work of love and change...”—Ali Blythe, author of Hymnswitch
		 
The mystics who coined the phrase ‘the way of affirmation’ understood the apocalyptic nature of the word yes, the way it can lead out of one life and into another. Moving among the languages of Christian conversion, Classical metamorphosis, seasonal transformation, and gender transition, Luke Hathaway tells the story of the love that rewired his being, asking each of us to experience the transfiguration that can follow upon saying yes—with all one’s heart, with all one’s soul, with all one’s mind, with all one’s strength ... and with all one’s body, too.
