Jarman Derek. Modern Nature

A diary. — University of Minnesota Press, 2009. — 320 p. — ISBN: 978-0-8166-6594-5.Iconoclastic and controversial filmmaker Derek Jarman’s candid journals"Epiphanies infuse Modern Nature, Derek Jarman’s diaries from 1989 to 1990, with their ebullient evocations of gardening. For Jarman, planting flowers at his wind- and sea-blasted cottage and then reciting their names (endlessly, passionately) becomes sex, becomes the fullness he’s on his way to leaving as he grows sicker from AIDS." — Village Voice Literary Supplement
