  “Does it hurt?” When you’re a tattoo artist, that’s the most universal question. For Chris MacDonald, the answer is simple: hurts less than a broken heart. Those words are painted above the entrance to his shop, Under My Thumb Tattoos, as a reminder.
  		 
  Chris and his brothers were as wild as the wind, in their house among the fields of Alliston, Ontario, when their parents divorced. Shell-shocked, they were uprooted and brought to Toronto by their dad. Their mother’s mental illness worsened in the aftermath, and she disappeared. As a teenager, Chris left home and found himself immersed in the city’s underbelly, a world where drugs, skateboarding, and punk rock reigned. Between the youth shelters, suicidal thoughts, and haunted apartments, a light shined: and it was art.
  		 
  He eventually found himself following the path of his brother, Rob, and pursuing life as a tattooist. Then, at the height of a destructive summer, everything changed: he met Megan, the girl who would become his rock of ages.
  		 
  This remarkable memoir examines what tattooing means to MacDonald and traces the connection his artistic motives have to both his family and childhood. The Things I Came Here With is about how crucial our past is to understanding our future, but it’s also a love letter to his daughter about the importance of expression, life’s uncertainty, and beauty.

  How Documentaries Went...

  Since the 1960s, documentary films have moved closer to the mainstream, thanks to the popularity of rockumentaries, association with the independent film movement, support from public and cable television, and the rise of streaming video services. Documentary films have become reliable earners at the US box office and ubiquitous on streaming platforms, while historically they existed on the margins of mainstream media. 
   
   
   
  The growing commercialization of documentary film has not gone unnoticed, but it has not been sufficiently explained. Streaming and the growing interest in reality TV are usually offered as explanations whenever a documentary enters the cultural conversation or breaks a box-office record, but neither of those causes grapple with the overlapping causal mechanisms that commercialized documentary film. How Documentaries Went Mainstream provides a more comprehensive and meaningful periodization of the commercialization of documentary film. Although the commercial ascension of documentary films might seem meteoric, it is the culmination of decades-long efforts that have developed and fortified the audience for documentary features. Author Nora Stone refines rough explanations of these efforts through a robust history of the market for documentary films, using knowledge of film economics and the norms of industry discourse to tell a richer story.

  Let My People Flow - Hip Hop and...

  What if God has been speaking through voices the religious world was too quick to ignore? 
   
  In Let My People Flow: Hip Hop and the Black Prophetic Tradition, author, rapper, and lifelong hip hop artist Cellus Hamilton makes a bold but careful claim: God has always made sure His people could hear His voice, even when religious leaders failed. 
   
  Drawing from Isaiah 28, Scripture, history, Black music, and hip hop culture, Hamilton explores how God often speaks through what the religious establishment considers strange, foreign, or unworthy. When Israel’s priests and prophets became corrupt, God promised to speak through “strange lips and a foreign tongue.” And throughout America’s history, especially in the face of religious corruption, racial injustice, and anti-Blackness, that strange and foreign tongue has often sounded like music. 
   
  From spirituals to blues to hip hop, Black music has carried a prophetic thread: telling the truth, exposing injustice, lamenting suffering, confronting hypocrisy, and calling people back to what is right. This audiobook traces that thread across history and shows how it reflects the biblical patterns of prophecy, lament, witness, and liberation. 
   
  Narrated by Cellus Hamilton himself, this audiobook carries the passion, rhythm, conviction, and cultural insight of an author who is not only writing about hip hop from the outside, but speaking from within it. 
   
  This is not an argument that music is Scripture. It is an invitation to learn how to listen. 
   
  Listeners will discover how Isaiah 28 offers a powerful lens for hearing God’s voice in unexpected places, how Black music has functioned as a prophetic witness throughout American history, how spirituals, blues, and hip hop have carried truth, resistance, lament, and hope, and how the liberating voice of Christ can still be heard through voices many have dismissed. 
   
  Because if God is still speaking today, you don’t want to miss His voice.

  The Art of Grieving challenges conventional attitudes towards grieving. Part memoir, part grief handbook and guide, Dr. Collins draws on a lifetime of experience as a dancer, social work professor, and therapist to illustrate the value of grieving and how the arts can become grief's collaborator. Listeners of the audio book will be provided guidance and resources on how to use the arts of storytelling, music, dance and visual arts to make grieving itself a life-long art. When we utilize the arts to honor our losses and celebrate together, as our ancestors once did, we are provided a path of insight that allows us to continuously learn from our grief, making its wisdom available to us in our future lives.
