Discover a hidden treasure in the life and work of an early to mid-twentieth-century radical, poet, and celebrated woodcut artist – along with her enigmatic and eccentric husband.

What a contribution you have made to art history. Reproducing that huge range of images alone is a significant aid to anyone studying Helen West Heller.

Beautiful book. Larry you ARE the canon on these people.

The books have arrived — gorgeous and generous. I expected the black & whites to be great, but did not expect the colors — the poetry is far more than I could have hoped. I spent yesterday at a disappointing (Painting Poetry) show . . . so this is a necessary corrective. Looking forward to digging into the prose and finding out the rest of the story(ies).

Powerful amount of research went into your interesting book on the Heller’s. Especially liked that you gave credit to your family for their help. Chapter 6 was my favorite chapter. … you’re probably right in saying that if he had stayed in Canton, he probably wouldn’t have encountered the problems he did out East. Helen’s perseverance w/her art was quite admirable. Such talent!

I must say both books are beautiful. You have done a wonderful job introducing readers to the life and work of this fascinating artist. On overview I see that so much detailed and interesting research was done and I have learned new things about her already! I am enjoying the poetry and I am looking forward to more in depth reading of Uncompromising Souls.

Stanfel’s biography, The Lives and Work of Artist Helen West Heller and Husband Roger, a tribute to the creativity and drive of the artist, is the definitive work on the couple with extensive research, detailed chronologies, five photographs of the couple, fifty-five reproductions of art, and a bibliography with many primary sources.
