Book of the day > They Should Never Touch The Ground by Deanna Templeton

Come to Arcana on Tomorrow (yes, it's Mothers Day -- buy your mom a book or better yet, bring her!) 4-6 when we're having a book signing for 2 great books! They Should Never Touch the Ground by Deanna Templeton and Heaven by Dennis McGrath. Book of the day > They Should Never Touch The Ground by Deanna Templeton. Deadbeat Club. Hot-off-the-press from Arcana favorite Deadbeat Club Press, Deanna Templeton's They Should Never Touch The Ground is a wry,  engaging photographic survey of today's 'creative' uses of the American Flag-motif,  and the sometimes misplaced respect for 'Old Glory' itself. Inspired by the Fugazi song "Facet Squared," Deanna first started noticing the ubiquity of American flags being worn as clothing while she was abroad and only after that did she begin to see similar treatment of the flag at home.  Known primarily for over a decade's work of telling portraits of girls grappling with the transition to adulthood, her photographs have been the subject of five previous books along with a number of gallery and Museum exhibitions.
