If You Really Wanted to Get Me Something: Our writers works hard all year and as the holidays roll around we thought we\u2019d give them a chance to let you know what kind of gift they might like. That is, if you wanted to get the something. Some may not come right out and say it\u2019s for them, but if you read between the lines, you\u2019ll get the idea. And artists who are friends of our writers, please note, we restricted them to just a couple of suggestions, so don\u2019t go disinviting them from your holiday party just because you didn\u2019t make the list.<\/em><\/p>\n

Painting by Kate Jarvik Birch<\/p><\/div>\n

Every time I see an acrylic print by Kate Jarvik Birch<\/a>, I wonder why I haven\u2019t already bought a triptych for my office. Her still lifes are eye-popping like old magazine illustrations. They\u2019re often food-based and always turn up my lips. At her online store, prints start at $20.00. In honor of the season, here\u2019s a print that reminds of the Little Match Girl.<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Appealing to my fascination in dreams, psychedelia, and Western esotericism, is the art of Scott Tuckfield<\/a>. If you visit the Urban Arts Gallery<\/a>, you may have seen his surreal and geometric creations that are like meditations made manifest.<\/h4>\n

Austin Archer<\/p><\/div>\n

Utah musician and TikToker, Austin Archer recently released a deluxe vinyl edition of Beautiful Things<\/em> on Bandcamp<\/a>. Unlike the bigger platforms such as Spotify, Bandcamp sells music under a \u201cFair Trade Music Policy,\u201d with 80\u201385% of proceeds going directly to musicians. I have a fairly complete digital library of Archer\u2019s work, but plan to pick up some vinyl soon. The title track is sweet and raw, almost like an indie lullaby with guitar, augmented with found audio samples.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Bewildered by All This Broken Sky, <\/i>a book of poems by Anna Scotti<\/a>, and winner of the 2020 Lightscatter Press Prize, was so vivid at times I felt as if I were no longer reading but there. And so I\u2019m looking forward to the next publication by Utah\u2019s Lightscatter<\/a>, Undershore<\/em> by Kelly Hoffer. From judge Diana Khoi Nguyen: \u201cUndershore<\/em> <\/i>is incandescent, like an electric light housing a filament which glows when a current passes through it. A filament as tender and tenacious as spider silk weathering the elements.\u201d It sounds like a don\u2019t-miss.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n
