Words and art from current exhibitions at the Green Lantern Gallery, artist and curatorial statements, upcoming events, excerpts from upcoming works from the Green Lantern Press, guest pieces from other "culture workers" as well as text pieces based loosely around the theme of the current exhibition in collaboration with the artist. In this case, it's "Out of the Woods." "We ask, 'Is he out of the woods?' If they respond, '...not out of the woods yet,' it is a phrase that is often used as a nice way of saying 'not in the clear, but keep on hoping for the best.' This work is an attempt to explore 'the woods' as this state of danger, of nearness to death."

This book compiles one hundred photographs of Lake Michigan taken by Crag Blakeman on days he went to work between the dates of 01.05.04 and 06.09.04. One photo was taken each day from the same spot, while looking the same direction, at sometime between the hours of ten and eleven in the morning.

A history of Chicago political upheaval in 1968 during the Democratic National Convention and riots. Includes a timeline and index of important contributors.

In July 1986, dozens of Chicago congregations, (Black, White, Hispanic, rich, poor) from every part of the city worked together to bring a message of love, hope and faith to the people of Chicago. They made the city a church without walls for that summer, their outreach touching even the elegant lakefront and the gang-ruled housing projects. This is the story of the churches, the events, but most of all the people who who took a dream and made it happen. From operation Harvest comes a new blueprint for urban evangelism.
