He was a stage designer, artist, writer, gardener, and an outspoken AIDS and queer rights activist in the UK and the United States. He is the author of several books, among them Modern Nature, available from the University of Minnesota Press. "A spirited motorcycle tour through Jarman's life and times . . . Jarman is a shining example of living fully, creatively, and prolifically with H.I.V." -Lambda Book Report "At Your Own Risk is profound, constructed of fragmented thoughts and biting one-liners. Every paragraph is a proclamation, an accusation, or an emotional reaction to memory." -L.A. Weekly "Fascinating . . . It must be reckoned invaluable for any American gay studies collection, both for the contrast its picture of gay life in Britain makes with U.S. gay life and because of Jarman's provocative intelligence and his emotional and social maturity." -Booklist For more information, including the table of contents, visit the book's webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/J/jarman_atyourown.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/mediaalert.html Heather Skinner, Publicist University of Minnesota Press 111 3rd Ave S, Ste. 290 Minneapolis, MN 55401-2520 [log in to unmask] v * 612-627-1932 f * 612-627-1980 http://www.upress.umn.edu ---- Learn to speak like a film/TV professor!
