Special Photographer

Leo Fuchs is a Hollywood veteran who spent over 40 years shooting some of the most moving and memorable images ever made of 1950s and 1960s film icons. Starting as a freelance magazine photographer, he was one of the rare outsiders invited onto movie sets, where he often befriended movie stars and captured candid shots both during and after shooting. The resulting photographs from Hollywood's undisputed heyday are here collected for the first time, including portraits of Sean Connery, Shirley MacLaine, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando and Cary Grant.

Jim Wong-Chu was the founder of the Asian Canadian Writers’ Workshop which spawned many literary stars, including Madeleine Thien, Denise Chong, and Wayson Choy. When he passed away in 2017, at the age of sixty-eight, he left not only a void in the Asian Canadian writing and publishing community but also a legacy of his own work that was never fully recognized. Jim’s poems speak eloquently to the Chinese experience in North America, both historical and present-day. This book includes Jim’s evocative Chinatown photographs, revealing the soul of a community threatened by gentrification and displacement.
