what haunts him

that moment after the bartender refused to serve the dark marine and the three white skinned others just sat there that moment before they rose and followed their nappy brother out into the USA they were willing to die to defend then

AK Press Disassembly Required


A Field Guide to Actually Existing Capitalism

Geoff Mann

Geo Mann is a new breed of monkey-wrencher. He knows that contemporary capitalism has a perverse habit of dismantling itself and gives us a toolkit to build a new, more socially just edice.Andy Merrield, Magical Marxism Insightful and incisive, thoughtful and thorough, lled with new avenues for thinking about resistance. Pass this one by at your own peril.Matt Hern, Common Ground in a Liquid City To imagine how we might change capitalism, we rst need to understand it. To succeed in actually changing it, we need to be able to explain how it works and convince others that change is both possible and necessary. Disassembly Required is an attempt to meet those challenges, and to oer clear, accessible alternatives to the status quo of everyday capitalism. Originally crafted as a comprehensive overview for younger readers, Geo Manns explanation of the fundamental features of contemporary capitalism is illustrated with real-world examplesan ideal introduction for anyone wanting to learn more about what capitalism is and where it falls short. What emerges is an anti-capitalist critique that fully understands the complex, dynamic, robust organizational machine of modern economic life, digging deep into the details of capitalist institutions and the relations that justify them to unearth the politically indefensible and ecologically unsustainable premises that underlie them. Geo Mann teaches political economy and economic geography at Simon Fraser University, where he directs the Centre for Global Political Economy. He is the author of Our Daily Bread: Wages, Workers and the Political Economy of the American West (2007) and a frequent contributor to Historical Materialism and New Left Review.
From money and markets to the subprime crisis, this anti-capitalist pocket guide explains capitalism and its crises and suggests alternatives.

AK Press The Green Fuse


Inside the Radical Environmental Movement

Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank


The corporate-led attacks on the environmental movementand the movements responseare a teachable moment for all social movements. The Green Fuse is an important contribution to this dialogue of repression of resistance. Will Potter, Green is the New Red On October 19, 1998, ve buildings and four chairlifts in Vail, Colorado, burned. In a communiqu from the Earth Liberation Front, activists claimed the res were aimed at protecting the alpine habitat of endangered lynx from a planned expansion of a ski resort into the Two Elks Roadless Area. This dramatic act of political arson was rapidly followed by a wave of arson and sabotage, targeting research labs, logging companies, and industrial corporations by a shadowy network of environmental militants. These actions made for sensational headlines, prompted a covert FBI operation, and were used to justify repressive new laws at the state and federal level. The Green Fuse proles the leading gures of this new movement: Tre Arrow, Mike Roselle, Rod Coronado, Marie Mason, Tim DeChristopher, and Jonathan Paul. The Green Fuse shows how activists were threatened, spied upon, inltrated and ultimately arrested, tried under draconian new laws, and sentenced to harsh prison terms in a riveting, up-close narrative.

AK Press We Are Many


Reections on Movement Strategy, from Occupation to Liberation

Edited by Kate Khatib, Margaret Killjoy, and Mike McGuire


A wonderful collection of questions and reections on the state of the movement today, where we came from, and where we might be going. It is all too rare that in the process of creating the movement and living the moment, participants and thinkers step back and ask the most pressing questions. This book is an important step.Marina Sitrin, Occupy Wall Street organizer and author of Horizontalism We have all been swept up by the momentum of the Occupy movement. We have seen the results of years of organizing in dierent communities come together in ways that few could have imagined, bolstered by the scores of people who have left the comfort of their daily routine behind and taken to the streets. Yet as a movement so overowing with new social and political actors, we lack the framework we need to help us all to understand what a social movement is, to understand how change has happened in the past, to understand what this moment means and what this movement makes possible. We Are Many is a reection on Occupy from within the heart of the movement itself. Examining key questionswhat worked? what didnt? why? how? is it reproducible?the authors and activists in this collection point toward a movement-based framework for future organizing. Heavily illustrated and annotated, We Are Many is a celebration of what worked, and a thoughtful analysis of what didnt. Contributors include David Graeber, Yotam Marom, Tom Morello, Frances Fox Piven, Gan Golan, Cindy Milstein, Kristian Williams, Lisa Fithian, Lester Spence, Marisa Holmes, Max Rameau, Vijay Prashad, Josh MacPhee, Molly Crabapple, Micah Uetricht, CrimethInc., Team Colors, Bring the Ruckus, Picture the Homeless, and more.

AK Press Queering Anarchism


Essays on Gender, Power, and Desire

Edited by C. B. Daring, J. Rogue, Deric Shannon, and Abbey Volcano


Foreword by Martha Ackelsberg
A much-needed collection that thinks through power, desire, and human liberation. These pieces are sure to raise the level of debate about sexuality, gender, and the ways that they tie in with struggles against our ruling institutions.Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Outlaw Woman Against the austerity of straight politics, Queering Anarchism sketches the connections between gender mutiny, queer sexualities, and anti-authoritarian desires. Through embodied histories and incendiary critique, the contributors gathered here show how we must not stop at smashing the state; rather normativity itself is the enemy of all radical possibility.Eric A. Stanley, co-editor of Captive Genders What does it mean to queer the world around us? How does the radical refusal of the mainstream codication of GLBT identity as a new gender norm come into focus in the context of anarchist theory and practice? How do our notions of orientation inform our politicsand vice versa? Queering Anarchism brings together a diverse set of writings ranging from the deeply theoretical to the playfully personal that explore the possibilities of the concept of queering, turning the dominant, and largely heteronormative, structures of belief and identity entirely inside out. Ranging in topic from the economy to disability, politics, social structures, sexual practice, interpersonal relationships, and beyond, the authors here suggest that queering might be more than a set of personal preferencespointing toward the possibility of an entirely new way of viewing the world. Contributors include Jamie Heckert, Sandra Jeppesen, Ben Shepard, Ryan Conrad, Jerimarie Liesegang, Jason Lydon, Susan Song, Stephanie Grohmann, Liat Ben-Moshe, Anthony J. Nocella, A.J. Withers, and more.
A wrench in the gears of sexual politicstwenty authors challenge the social constructs of identity, ideology, and beyond.

AK Press Nine-tenths of the Law


Property and Resistance in the United States

Hannah Dobbz

From the Native American Seizure of Alcatraz Island, to New York Squatters and Homesteaders of the 1980s, to the housing actions led by Occupy Wall Street today [Dobbz] asks important philosophical questions about these tendencies. [Her] book is a welcome addition.Seth Tobocman, co-author, Understanding the Crash How does property t into designs for an equitable society? Nine-tenths of the Law examines the history of squatting and property struggles in the United States, from colonialism to twentieth century urban squatting and the foreclosure crisis of the late 2000s, and how such resistance movements shape the law. Stories from our most hard-hit American cities show that property is truly in crisis: One in ve homes in Bualo, NY, are abandoned. Our national housing vacancy rate is 14 percent. If we gave a house to every homeless person in the United States two-thirds of that stock would remain empty. In May of 2011, one in every 103 homes in Nevada was in foreclosure. Nine-tenths of the Law expands our understanding of property law and highlights recent tactics like creative squatting ventures and the use of adverse possession to claim titles to vacant homes. Hannah Dobbz unveils the tangled relationship Americans have always had in creating and sustaining healthy communities. Hannah Dobbz is a writer, editor, lmmaker, and former squatter. In 2007 she produced a lm about squatters in the Bay Area called Shelter. The lm has screened widely at universities, bookstores, and community spaces, including the 2009 Three Rivers Film Festival in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Akashic Books When Johnny Came Marching Home


William Heffernan

Sliding back and forth in timebefore, during, and after the Civil War William Heernan creates a powerful, intriguing, and complex novel about the intricacies of friendship and the devastating eects of war. Jonathan Santlofer, author of The Death Artist When Johnny Came Marching Home evokes a young soldiers reluctant relationship to violence and brutality with a chilling realism that brings the reader face-to-face with the moral complexities of even the most noble of wars. Following in the literary tradition of Ernest Hemingway, James Jones, and Larry Heinemann, William Heernan is able to somehow nd grace and beauty amidst the horror of battle.Kaylie Jones, author of A Soldiers Daughter Never Cries When Johnny Came Marching Home is a carefully constructed and evocative Civil Warera tale that will hold you from rst to last page. The author has a rare gift for transporting the reader in time and place. Put this one at the top of your list. No one does this kind of novel better than Heernan. John Lutz, author of Serial When Johnny Came Marching Home is a mystery, a love story, and William Heernans best book to date. The novel tells the story of three boys who grow up in rural Vermont in a seemingly indestructible friendship, then see their lives ruined as they go o to ght in Americas great and noble war. Trapped in a what appears to be an endless bloodbathvividly presented with Heernans meticulous historical researchthe boys gradually begin to change until their close-knit childhood ties are little more than a fractured memory. By wars end, one boy is dead, one returns a physically crippled and emotionally compromised man, and the third comes home as an unfeeling psychopath. The novel turns on the subsequent murder of the psychopath, and the oer of redemption for the wounded young man who must investigate the crime. When Johnny Came Marching Home is a story about war and how it aects the lives of all who become a part of it, both directly and peripherally. Although set during the Civil War, this book casts shadows of what we endure today and the horrors to which young soldiers are subjected. William Heernan, a three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, is the author of fteen novels, including such bestsellers as The Corsican, The Dinosaur Club (a New York Times bestseller), The Dead Detective, and Tarnished Blue (winner of an Edgar Award). Heernan lives outside of St. Petersburg, Florida.
A one-armed young Civil War veteran investigates the death of a troubled fellow soldier in 1860s Vermont and Virginia.

Akashic Books The Secret History of Coffee, Coca & Cola


Ricardo Corts
The Secret History of Coee, Coca & Cola is an illustrated book disclosing new research in the coca leaf trade conducted by the Coca-Cola Company. 2011 marked the 125th anniversary of its iconic beverage, and the 50th anniversary of the international drug control treaty that allows Coca-Cola exclusive access to the coca plant. Most people are familiar with tales of cocaine being an early ingredient of Coke tonic; its an era the company makes every eort to bury. Yet coca leaf, the source of cocaine, banned in the United States since 1914, has been part of Coca-Colas secret formula for over one hundred years. This is a history that spans from cocaine factories in Peru, to secret experiments at the University of Hawaii, to the personal les of US Bureau of Narcotics Commissioner Harry Anslinger (infamous for his Reefer Madness campaign against marijuana, lesser known as a long-time collaborator of the Coca-Cola Company). The Secret History of Coee, Coca & Cola tells how one of the biggest companies in the world bypasses an international ban on coca.

Akashic Books American Honor Killings


Desire and Rage Among Men

David McConnell

In American Honor Killings, straight and gay guys cross paths, and the result is murder. But what really happened? What role did hatred play? What were the men involved really like, and what was going on between them when the murder occurred? American Honor Killings explores the truth behind squeamish reporting and uninformed political rants of the far right or fringe left. David McConnell, a New Yorkbased novelist, researched cases from small-town Alabama to San Quentins death row. The book recounts some of the most notorious crimes of our era. Beginning in 1999 and lasting until the 2011 conviction of a youth in Queens, New York, the book shows how some murderers think theyre cleaning up society. Surprisingly, other killings feel almost preordained, not a matter of the victims personality or actions so much as a twisted display of a young mans will to compete or dominate. We want to think these stories involve simple sexual conict, either the killers internal struggle over his own identity or a fatally miscalculated proposition. Theyre almost never that simple. Together, the cases form a secret American history of rage and desire. McConnell cuts through cant and political special pleading to turn these cases into enduring literature. In each story victims, murderers, friends, and relatives come breathtakingly alive. The result is more soulful, more sensitive, more artful than the sort of true crime writing the book was modeled on. A wealth of new detail has been woven into old cases, while new cases are plumbed for the rst time. The resulting stories play out exactly as they happened, an inexorable sequence of eventsgrisly, touching, disturbing, sometimes even with moments of levity. David McConnell is the author of the acclaimed novel The Silver Hearted. His short ction and journalism have appeared widely in magazines and anthologies.
An expos of an America no one is comfortable talking about: the volatile ground where male violence and sexuality overlap.

Akashic Books Cervantes Street


Jaime Manrique

A sprawling vivacious big-hearted novel. Manrique is fantastically talented and this is perhaps his masterpiece.Junot Daz Cervantes like weve never known him: the rogue, the lover, the soldier, the slave, and above all, the poet. In this novel, Jaime Manrique reminds us that the great writer was a man of esh and blood whose eventful life seemed destined for great literature.Esmeralda Santiago Jaime Manrique has written an exceptional historical novel, recreating with imagination and detailed accuracy the world of Late Renaissance in Spain. Manriques rendering of the life of Cervantes is brilliant, and his solution to the mystery of who wrote the false Quixote is fascinating, and very persuasive. Edith Grossman The actual facts of Miguel de Cervantes life seem to be snatched from an epic tale: an impoverished and talented young poet nearly kills a man in a duel and is forced into exile; later, he distinguishes himself in battle and is severely wounded, losing the use of his left hand; on his way back to Spain his ship is captured by pirates and he is sold into slavery in Algiers; after prolonged imprisonment and failed escape attempts, he makes his way back home, eventually settling in a remote village in La Mancha to create his masterpiece, the rst modern novel in Western literature: Don Quixote. Taking the bare bones of Cervantes life, Jaime Manrique has accomplished a singular feat: an engaging and highly accessible take on a brilliant, enigmatic man and his epoch. This is an archetypal tale of rivalry and revenge featuring Cervantes antagonistic relationship with the man who would go on to write his own sequel to Don Quixotethat is sure to garner comparisons to Peter Shaers Amadeus, Alexandre Dumas The Count of Monte Cristo, and, with its extraordinary recreation of the life and times of Cervantes, to Hilary Mantels Wolf Hall. Jaime Manrique is a novelist, essayist, and poet who lives in New York. His critically acclaimed novels include Columbian Gold, Latin Moon in Manhattan, and Our Lives Are the Rivers.

Take it, church by churchall forty times forty churches, and ying up over them, the small pigeons; And Spassky Gatesin their ower where the Orthodox take o their hats; And the Chapel of Starsrefuge chapel where the oor ispolished by tears; Take the circle of the ve cathedrals, my soul, my holy friend.

Donald Revell

Every word counts in Donald Revell. You must read him carefullynot because hes dicult but because hes profound. But thats too inappropriate, that word; let me say sun-worthy, Sophoclean, God-drenched. Let me say grave, trustworthy, loving, faithful, shocking, brilliant, honest. Let me say for dear life. One of Americas best poets.Gerald Stern Through close attention to natures myriad syntheses and separations, Donald Revells sage lyric meditations seek and nd proof of the otherworldly. These poems are ripe with the ecstatic vision we come to expect from Revells work. Victorians There is snow and there is snow. A young woman, daughter of the eminent physician, Disrobes at her window, and starvation, Like a pack of dogs with jeweled mouths, Pauses a moment, howls, and the young woman Recites a poem to herself. So long ago the words are lost Even as each remains a part of us. Christmas meaning snow out of a broiling sun. Humanity meaning numbers. Childhood meaning children and railings and kisses Never kissed but carved into real trees. Motherless goddamn modernity never grew. Here we are again at Christmas On re escapes without a re in view. Poet, translator, and critic Donald Revell has authored ten previous collections of poetry. Winner of the 2008 NEA Translation Award, the 2004 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, and two-time winner of the PEN Center USA Award in Poetry, Revell has received fellowships from the NEA, Ingram Merrill, and Guggenheim memorial foundations. He is poetry editor of Colorado Review.
In his eleventh collection, Donald Revell condently furthers Henry David Thoreaus visionary impulse to reveal the world as itso magicallyis.

Roxane Beth Johnson

These poems move forward like a novel in verse with a real understanding of the dierences between the past and history. Or, as Johnson herself says in the opening poem, Each one is hungry for a voice & music to re-bloom. This is a poet the best readers will be reading for the rest of their lives.Jericho Brown A haunting collection of lyrically intense persona poems, Black Crow Dress is at once about the emancipation of slaves in their myriad voices as well as a meditation on the self. The collections lush imagery takes us from churchyard to church, chanting the old spirituals, as Roxane Beth Johnson seeks to embody the spirits of the dead: Clea, Caroline, and Zebedee. From Slave Ancestors Found Unburied in a Dream: Each one is hungry for a voice & music to re-bloom them alive in this room like water softens beans. Leaning near, close to me they see my tooth & tongue that test doneness, licks stamps & hums. Their ear listens to what a hand might ddle if it had ngers. Stare this way with eyes like smudges . . . Roxane Beth Johnsons rst book of poetry, Jublilee (Anhinga Press, 2006), won the 2005 Philip Levine Prize for Poetry. She won an AWP Donald Hill Prize in Poetry and a Pushcart Prize in 2007 and has received scholarships and fellowships from The MacDowell Colony, Cave Canem, The Bread Loaf Writers Conference, San Francisco Arts Commission, and Vermont Studio Center. She lives in San Francisco, California.
Ghosts of American slaves have much to teach us. Roxane Beth Johnson, in her second collection, summons all ghosts, even our own.

Jennie Feldman

In Jennie Feldmans second collection, the earth-shy bird of the title ies high above the territorial rivalries of its region, the Middle East. Swift focuses on what compels and coheres, with an instinct for encounter: a Greek beekeeper, a cello maestro, a Latin poet in an East Jerusalem caf. Buoyed by water and the power of music, these poems pursue an elusive equilibrium. How the mind accompanies the bodys faltering, hallucination where reverie should be . . .

Archipelago Books The Eleven


Pierre Michon
Translated by Elizabeth Deshays and Jody Gladding

Winner of the French Academys Grand Prix du Roman. Michons prose tends to slow down in order to oblige you to hear its rhythms and also to see and touch and smell what is happening beneath it. Harpers Magazine He was not tall, unobtrusive, but he held your attention by his feverish silence, his dark cheer, his alternately arrogant and oblique mannergrim, you would call it. At least that was true seeing him later in life. None of that appears on the Wrzburg ceilings in the portrait Tiepolo left of him, when the model was twenty years old: he is there, so they say, and you can go see him there, perched among a hundred princes, a hundred constables, and ushers . . . Corentin, a young man of humble origins, rises up in Parisian society, becoming a famous painter who is called upon to decorate the homes of Louis XIVs mistresses. Yet his masterpiece is The Eleven, a revolutionary representation of the eleven members of the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror. Pierre Michon, born in Cards, France, in 1945, is one of Frances foremost contemporary writers. He has been awarded the Prix Dcembre, the Grand Prix du Roman (for The Eleven), and the Prix de la Ville de Paris for his body of work. Elizabeth Deshays is a teacher and a translator. She is the author of a study on bilingual education, LEnfant Bilingue. She lives in Provence, France. Jody Gladding is a poet and translator of over twenty books from the French. Her most recent collection of poetry is Rooms and Their Airs (Milkweed Editions). She teaches in the MFA program at Vermont College of Fine Arts.

Diary of Exile
Yannis Ritsos
Translated by Karen Emmerich and Edmund Keeley
Without Ritsos eloquence, Greeks would have forgotten how to name all those things that are there before their eyes.Pantelis Prevelakis This long poem is a nuanced and moving account of the poets time in exile, in which everyday events hide much that is threatening, oppressive, and spiritually vacuous. Lyrical and idyllic, these re-creations of Greek mythology justify Yannis Ritsos reputation as one of the most honored in modern Greece. Plagued by tuberculosis, family misfortunes, and persecution for his Communist views, Yannis Ritsos (19091990) spent many years in sanatoriums, prisons, and in political exile while producing over one hundred volumes of poems, dramas, and translations.

Aunt Lute Books Celebrating Thirty Years A Simple Revolution


Judy Grahn

A Simple Revolution is a unique memoir and a dramatic narrative of Judy Grahns working class roots, her army career and discharge for being lesbian, her education as one of the rst whites to attend Howard University, and her life as a celebrated poet in the Bay Area during the tumultuous beginnings of the lesbian movement in the late 60s. Judy Grahn is an internationally known poet, writer, and social theorist. She grew up in a working-class home in New Mexico. Seeking options not available in her small-town community of origin, she broke away and joined the Air Force. She was given a blue discharge (named for the blue paper on which these letters were printed) from the Air Force because she was a lesbian. This experience galvanized Grahn into public ownership of her lesbianism, into the writing of poetry, into lesbian activism, and into the project of publishing lesbian literature. She co-founded the Womens Press Collective in Oakland, California, in 1969; using a barrel mimeograph machine, the WPC published the work of Grahn and other lesbians, including Pat Parker, Willyce Kim, and more. Grahn is the author of several poetry collections, including The Common Woman, A Woman is Talking to Death, and Love Belongs to Those Who Do the Feeling. Aunt Lute Books published a collection of Grahns work, The Judy Grahn Reader, in 2009. In addition to her poetry, Grahn has written several celebrated nonction works exploring woman-centered spirituality, gay history and culture, and lesbian writing.
This vivid, insightful memoir by acclaimed poet Judy Grahn captures the vibrant Bay Area lesbian movement from the 1960s onward.

Justin Coro Kaufman

Transient Man is a black comedy about a homeless man whose visions lead him to believe he is an inter-dimensional savior of humanity, on a mission to save the universe. Is he indeed the one, chosen by mystical divine forces to embark on a crusade against ultimate evil, or a hopeless lunatic, aimlessly wandering the streets of San Francisco? Transient Man is a spoof on the heros journey thats part Men In Black, part Raising Arizona, avored with liberal portions of Ghostbusters and John Steinbeck. It is a ballad to the city by the bay, and a heartfelt take on the sacrices one man will make for the love of his family, his friends, and all of humankind. Justin Coro Kaufman serves as the studio art director for Massive Black. Working professionally for the past fteen years, Justins skill set initially led him to a lead artist and concept design position for an Activision developer in 2002. Since helping found Massive Black in 2003, he has lent his visualization and design skills to hundreds of Massive Black projects, ranging from high prole games (Infamous and Bioshock), television and print advertising (Desperate Housewives and Dancing With the Stars), lm (Transformers 1, 2, and 3, and G.I. Joe 1 and 2), toy design, clothing, album jacket and poster design, graphic novels, and more.

Instead, by the grace of God, he is alive, clean, sober, and a functioning Catholic priest with another mans heart beating in his chest. But it came at a huge cost. While Joe was in his late teens, his father died suddenly. The loss was devastating, and Joes emotional desolation found escapist bliss in a beer bottle and cocaine vial, and he pledged irrevocable devotion to both. The slide into the abyss was ugly, and Joe nally sought help because there was nowhere else to gowhich led him to serve others as a Catholic priest. The day of Joes ordination, an old friend came to the mass and announced for all to hear, Well, now I can say Ive seen a miracle. Joe functioned for fteen years as a sober priest before his heart gave out from the same heart disease that killed his father. But another miracle came his way, and he was blessed with a new hearta gracious gift from a family during the most painful moment of their lives. Joe has been granted the blessing of four gifts: faith, sobriety, a new heart, and a fullling ministry. As Father Joe says, Gratitude inspired this book. I owe it to people who helped rescue me from alcohol and drugs, and I owe it to my heart donor for giving me yet another chance at life.

Father Joe Bradleys spiritual journey from drug addict, to priest, to heart transplant patient, to a state of grace.

Bellevue Literary Press The Cage


The Fight for Sri Lanka and the Last Days of the Tamil Tigers

Gordon Weiss

An excellent account . . . scrupulously fair.The Economist This shattering, heartbreaking tale of savagery and suering not only lifts the veil that conceals one of the most awful tragedies of the current era, but also helps us understand what should be done, not just in this sad and beautiful land, but long before other such horrors spiral out of control. Noam Chomsky, institute professor and professor of linguistics at MIT and author of Hopes and Prospects In the nal days of the thirty-year Sri Lankan civil war, perhaps tens of thousands of civilians were killed as government forces hemmed in the last remaining Tamil Tiger rebels on a tiny sand-spit, dubbed The Cage. Gordon Weiss, a journalist on the scene as the UN spokesman in Sri Lanka, pulls back the curtain of government misinformation to tell the full story for the rst time. Tracing the role of foreign inuence as it converged with a history of radical Buddhism and ethnic conict, The Cage is a harrowing portrait of the root causes and catastrophic consequences of a revolutionary uprising caught in the crossre of international power jockeying. As Weiss relates the tale of an island paradise torn apart by war, he raises critical questions: Were war crimes committed? Was this the Obama administrations rst human rights failure (as suggested by Time magazine)? Does Chinas central role in the Sri Lankan governments victory sound a warning for democratic progress? Gordon Weiss has lived in New York and worked in numerous conict and natural disaster zones including Bosnia, Afghanistan, Darfur, and Haiti. Employed by the United Nations for over twelve years, he is now a visiting scholar at Sydney University and a correspondent for Australias Global Mail.
An incisive rst account of the formation, history, and bloody dissolution of the rebel Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka.

Biblioasis The Tuner of Silences


Mia Couto
Translated by David Brookshaw

Quite unlike anything else I have read from Africa.Doris Lessing By meshing the richness of African beliefs . . . into the Western framework of the novel, he creates a mysterious and surreal epic.Henning Mankell Mwanito Vitalcio was eleven when he saw a woman for the rst time, and the sight so surprised him he burst into tears. Mwanitos been living in a big-game park for eight years. The only people he knows are his father, his brother, an uncle, and a servant. Hes been told that the rest of the world is dead, that all roads are sad, that they wait for an apology from God. In the place his father calls Jezoosalem, Mwanito has been told that crying and praying are the same thing. Both, it seems, are forbidden. The eighth novel by The New York Times-acclaimed Mia Couto, The Tuner of Silences is the story of Mwanitos struggle to reconstruct a family history that his father is unable to discuss. With the young womans arrival in Jezoosalem, however, the silence of the past quickly breaks down, and both his fathers story and the world are heard once more. The Tuner of Silences was heralded as one of the most important books to be published in France in 2011 and remains a shocking portrait of the intergenerational legacies of war. Now available for the rst time in English. Mia Couto is the author of twenty-ve books. Translated into twenty languages, his novels have been bestsellers in Africa, Europe, and Latin America.

Two Latina Moms on How the Bilingual Parenting Revolution is Changing the Face of America

Roxana A. Soto and Ana L. Flores


For years immigrants were told that the only way for their children to embrace American culture was to leave behind their heritage language and speak only English. But what if this advice was based solely on political motives and not the wellbeing of children? What if the truth was that all children in America, regardless of their cultural background, would actually benet from learning two languages? The answer to this question has sparked a new Latino parenting revolution that is changing the face of America. Roxana and Ana, founders of the wildly successful parenting blog SpanglishBaby, are part of a growing movement of Latino parents who are proudly reclaiming their language and cultural heritage for themselves and their children. Laugh and cry with them as they stumble through the ups and downs of raising bilingual, bicultural children in America and discover themselves in the process. This inspiring parenting memoir includes practical tips and resources to help parents from all backgrounds give their children the benets of bilingualism. Bilingual Is Better debunks old stereotypes while shedding new light on hot topics like bilingual education, cultural heritage, and what it really means to be Latino. A perfect blend of hilarious anecdotes and solid research, this book is a fun, engaging read which is sure to spark conversation and positive change. Roxana A. Soto and Ana L. Flores co-founded the popular parenting blog SpanglishBaby, which was recently named a Must Read Moms Blog by Parenting magazine. Both authors are well known, award-winning bilingual journalists.
This entertaining memoir by two Latina moms reveals the struggles and triumphs of raising bilingual, bicultural children in the United States.

BIS Publishers The Pop-Up Generation


Design Between Dimensions

Edited by Lideweij Edelkoort

Young people easily shift between 2D and 3D, barely noticing a dierence. Navigating this no mans land, the new pop-up generation of designers create work that is malleable, transient, and ever-changing. The works selected have a few common characteristics. The projects popup. They oat and melt down again. They are temporary. And they are mobile; they can take you anywhere. These projects are often hybrid, moving between the virtual and the physical world. And lastly they are very much DIY. The artist and designers are keen on sharing. Come join; make your own. It is give and take in this pop-up generation community. For The Pop-Up Generation: Design Between Dimensions, Lidewij Edelkoort in collaboration with Lotte van Gelder has collected outstanding and often poetical pop-up works which give a captivating and exciting picture of a new generation in the throes of designing the future. With additional essays from Paola Antonelli of the MOMA New York, Carla Fernandes, Bruce Sterling, and others, this thought-provoking book examines the pop-up phenomena in art and design and captures the essence of the time we live in.
A visual overview of the concept of pop-up in architecture and design from one of the worlds leading designers.

BIS Publishers Sustainist Design Primer


Collaborative Design for Connectivity, Localism, and Sustainable Life

Compiled by Michiel Schwarz and Diana Krabbendam


A practice of social design has emerged around issues such as community, crafts, sustainable living, public space, and housing. In the context of an emerging culture of sustainism, many successful social design projects have embraced qualities such as connectivity, sharing, and localism, as well as sustainability. Sustainism Design Primer charts what such sustainist values could mean for the practice of social design. It formulates an open-ended agenda for social design and presents a set of design criteria that goes well beyond green design. It brings together the key principles for sustainism design, maps out best practices, and explores workable ideas for developing future social design. Michiel Schwarz is a cultural thinker, innovator, and policy consultant working from Amsterdam and Berkeley, California. He holds a PhD in the sociology of technology from the University of London. He has advised public organizations and has initiated a wide range of projects on global issues, sustainable futures, design strategies, media culture, and innovation.

Bitter Lemon Press Reasonable Doubts


Gianrico Caroglio
Translated by Howard Curtis

The role of Guido Guerrieri is to take on impossible cases that have little chance of success. The lawyer accepts the case only because hes fallen in lust with the prisoners wife; his eorts to prove his clients innocence bring him into dangerous conict with Maa interests. Everything a legal thriller should be.The Times Counsel for the defense Guido Guerrieri is asked to handle the appeal of Fabio Paolicelli, who has been sentenced to sixteen years for drug smuggling. The odds are stacked against the accused: not only the fact that he initially confessed to the crime but also his past as a neo-Fascist thug. It is only the intervention of Paolicellis beautiful half-Japanese wife that nally overcomes Guerrieris reluctance. Matters are further complicated when Guerrieri ends up in bed with her. This book is hard-boiled and sun-dried in equal parts. Where Philip Marlowe would be knocking back bourbon and listening to the snap of st on jaw, Guerrieri prefers Sicilian wine and Leonard Cohen. The local color is complemented by snappy legal procedural writing which sends the reader tumbling through the clockwork of a tightly wound plot.

Breakaway Books Honey, Do You Need a Ride?


Confessions of a Fat Runner

Jennifer Graham

This laugh-out-loud comedic memoir of life as an overweight runner moves along at a ve-minute-per-mile pace. Jennifer Graham doesnt run to lose weightshe runs because she loves it. And as much as she runs, her excess poundage never leaves. So she accepts her body type for what it is, and runs for the sheer joy of it. But along the way she must endure not only her selfmade exhaustion and lactic acid, but also the bemused stares of neighbors, oers of a car ride from strangers, and disdain from the dominant strain of runnerthose long, lean shirtless wonders. The story revolves around her decision to run a serious half-marathon race, and her imaginary coaching relationship with the spirit of Steve Prefontaine. The late, great Oregon distance star gives her advice and encouragement, and doesnt like excuses. (Yeah, I know hes been dead thirty-ve years; its a minor metaphysical challenge.) Moreover, the race is one month after Grahams ex-husband is getting remarried (to a skinny woman), and the emotional rollercoaster heightens the intensity of her running. As she says, If training for it doesnt help me get over the pain, at least it will keep me preoccupied. Her irreverent, hilarious, and brutally honest story will appeal to runners and non-runners alike, fat or thin.
A brutally honest, outrageously funny story of being overweight in a notoriously skinny sport.

Breakaway Books Back to the Zone


Sport and Inner Experiences

Damien Lafont, PhD

The Zone is that quasi-mystical state achieved only rarely by athletes, when everything ows eortlessly and you can do no wrong. Unfortunately, we enter the Zone seemingly at random, when it is least expected. The great hope of all competitors is to be able to summon the Zone at will. Toward this end, Back to the Zone breaks the Zone down into its many components and helps the athlete optimize each one: balance, absorption, clarity, feedback, concentration, control, loss of self-consciousness, imagination, positive thoughts, energy, self-esteem, meditation, and quiet mind.

Bywater Books Art on Fire


Hilary Sloin

Art on Fire is the apparent biography of subversive painter Francesca deSilva, the founding foremother of pseudorealism, who lived hard and died young. But in the tradition of Vladimir Nabokovs acclaimed novel Pale Fire, its a ction from start to nish. It opens with Francescas early life. We learn about her childhood love, the chess genius Lisa Sinsong, as well as her rivalry with her brilliant sister Isabella, who publishes an acclaimed volume of poetry at the age of twelve. She compensates for the failings of her less than attentive parents by turning to her grandmother who is loyal and adoring until she learns Francesca is a lesbian, when she rejects her. Francesca ees to a ramshackle cabin in Welleet, Massachusetts, working weekends at the ea market. She breaks into the gloomy basement of a house, where she begins her life as a painter. Much to her confusion and even dismay, fame comes quickly. Interspersed with Francescas narrative are thirteen critical essays on the paintings of Francesca deSilva by critics, academics, and psychologistsessays that are razor-sharp satires on art, lesbian life, and the academic world, puncturing pretentiousness with every paragraph. Art on Fire is a darkly comic, pitchperfect, and fearless satire on the very art of biography itself. Art on Fire is the latest winner of the Bywater Prize for Fiction and was a nalist for the Heekin Foundation Award, the Dana Awards, and the Story Oaks Prize. It was mistakenly awarded the nonction prize in the Amherst Book and Plow Competition.
An amazing novel and pseudo-biography about the short but remarkable life of a young painter living in her sisters shadow.

Bywater Books The Ravens Heart


A Story of a Quest, a Castle and Mary Queen of Scots

Jesse Blackadder

Jesse Blackadder has all the hallmarks of a great historical ction writer, achieving a ne balance of thoroughly researched atmospheric detail and suspenseful story. . . . In The Ravens Heart she doesnt hit one wrong note. The Sunday Telegraph Scotland, 1561, and a ship comes across the North Sea carrying home Mary, the young, charismatic Queen of Scots, returning after thirteen years in the French court to wrest back control of her throne. The Blackadder family has long awaited for the Queens return to bring them justice. Alison Blackadder, disguised as a boy from childhood to protect her from the murderous clan that stole their lands, must learn to be a lady-inwaiting to the Queen, building a web of dependence and reward. Just as the Queen can trust nobody, Alison discovers lies, danger, and treachery at every turn. This sweeping, imaginative, and original tale of political intrigue, misplaced loyalty, secret passion, and implacable revenge is based on real characters and events from the reign of Mary Queen of Scots. The Ravens Heart is a breathtaking epic from a bold, fresh voice. Winner of the Varuna HarperCollins Manuscript Development Award, The Ravens Heart was published in Australia in 2011. Jesse Blackadder nally had enough of people asking if she was related to Rowan Atkinson, star of the BBC sitcom Blackadder. She traveled to Scotland to nd the origins of her surname and discovered the ruins of Blackadder House on the banks of the Blackadder River. The Ravens Heart grew from there. Jesse lives in Byron Bay, Australia.
The Ravens Heart is a breathtaking epic set during the disastrous reign of Mary Queen of Scots.

Mari SanGiovanni

Love and loss should not be this funny, but the entire Santora family has descended upon Marie again, just when Marie is sure she doesnt need them anymore. After losing Erica she has made a vow to be done with straight girls once and for all.

Centipede Press Hannes Bok


A Life in Illustration

Edited by Joseph Wrzos

Hannes Bok (19141964) is considered to be one of the premier fantasy illustrators of the twentieth century. Dying young, he left behind a mostly uncollected array of wonderful and astonishing black-and-white pulp illustrations, a dozen or so dazzling dust jacket covers, and an as-yet-undetermined number of gorgeous color paintings, most of them quickly snapped up early by connoisseurs and still under heavy guard in private collections. And it was only due to the eorts of a few dedicated admirers, who published the rst Bok collections, that the richer part of his legacy still survives. But even these early Bok collections are out of print and going for high prices in the collectors market. As a consequence, none of Boks artwork is currently available to the general public, and there is still much that has never been reproduced in the rst place. Hannes Bok: A Life in Illustration redresses this by bringing back into print not only his out of print artwork but many newly discovered drawings and paintings, reproduced here for the rst time. In addition, A Life in Illustration also includes a rich selection of critical and biographical background material, including a nostalgic memoir by Ray Bradbury, incisive tributes by fellow artists, a newly uncovered letter of encouragement by Maxeld Parrish, and Boks own concise autobiography, as well as his long unavailable essay, Hannes Bok Looks at Fantasy Art and Illustration, a cogent elaboration of his artistic credo. Hannes Bok: A Life in Illustration could well prove to be the denitive edition honoring his life and work.
The most massive and comprehensive collection of Hannes Boks work ever published, with dozens of new paintings never before seen.

Cinco Puntos Press Make It, Take It


Rus Bradburd

An inventive novel, Make It, Take It sneaks the reader past the press conferences, locker rooms, and huddles of college basketball. Without judgment or sentimentality, Rus Bradburd lays bare the web of conicts between players and coaches, blacks and whites, revealing the complex humanity of a teams inner circle. Here, every choice has a very real cost. Steve Pytel is an assistant coach and top recruiter for a university basketball program. His goals are simple. He wants to keep his job and be a head coach someday. Keeping his wife barely makes the list. The team staggers; everyones days are numbered. Pytel was responsible for landing prized recruits Leonard Redmond and Jamal Davis. Pytels duties now? Keep Leonard out of jail. Make sure Jamal ignores the advice of his preacher, sidesteps his girlfriends pregnancy, and puts the ball in the basket. Good thing Pytel doesnt carry around a bagful of scruples. Rus Bradburd is the author of the controversial Forty Minutes of Hell: The Extraordinary Life of Nolan Richardson (HarperCollins/Amistad) and a memoir, Paddy on the Hardwood: A Journey in Irish Hoops (University of New Mexico Press). He spent fourteen years as a college basketball coach, working for legends Don Haskins and Lou Henson. A regular contributor to SLAM Magazine, his essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Houston Chronicle, and Chicagos SouthtownStar. He is married to poet Connie Voisine. They live in New Mexico and Chicago, Illinois.
Witty and cynical, this isnt the college basketball we hear about on TV. And Rus Bradburd knows what hes talking about.

City Lights Publishers National Insecurity


The Cost of American Militarism

Melvin A. Goodman

Praise for Melvin A. Goodmans The Failure of Intelligence: An important and eye-opening account for policy makers and concerned citizens alike.Publishers Weekly, starred review Upon leaving the White House in 1961, President Eisenhower famously warned Americans about the dangers of a military industrial complex, and was clearly worried about the destabilizing eects of a national economy based on outsized investments in military spending. Today in 2012, as more and more Americans fall into poverty and the global economy spirals downward, the United States is spending more on the military than ever before. What are the consequences and what can be done? Melvin A. Goodman, a twenty-four-year veteran of the CIA, brings peerless authority to his argument that US military spending is indeed making Americans poorer and less secure while undermining our political standing in the world. Drawing from his rsthand experience with war planners and intelligence strategists, Goodman oers an insiders critique of the US military economy from Presidents Eisenhowers farewell warning to Barack Obamas expansion of the militarys power. He outlines a much needed vision for how to alter our military policy, practices, and spending in order to better position the United States globally and enhance prosperity and security at home. Melvin A. Goodman is a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy. A former professor of international security at the National War College and an intelligence adviser to strategic disarmament talks in the 1970s, he is the author of several books, including the critically acclaimed The Failure of Intelligence.

City Lights Publishers Occupy the Economy


Challenging Capitalism

Richard Wolff
Interviewed by David Barsamian
Todays economic crisis is capitalisms worst since the Great Depression. Millions have lost jobs, homes, and healthcare. Many with jobs watch pensions, benets, and job security decline. While most live with increasing uncertainty, the system makes the very wealthy even richer. In eye-opening interviews with prominent economist Richard Wol, David Barsamian probes the root causes of the current crisis, its unjust social costs, and what can and should be done to turn things around. While others blame corrupt bankers and unregulated speculators, the government, or even the poor who borrowed, the authors show that the causes of the crisis run much deeper. They reach back to the 1970s when the capitalist system itself shifted, ending the century-old pattern of rising wages for Americans and thereby enabling the top 1% to become ultra-rich at the expense of the 99%. Since then, economic injustice has become chronic and further corrupted politics. Occupys indignation with the whole system mobilizes a diverse range of Americans who seek basic change. Occupying the Economy not only claries and analyzes the crisis in US capitalism today, it also points toward solutions that can shape a far better future for all. Richard Wol is professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and visiting professor at the New School in New York City. He hosts a program on WBAI and is author of the hit book Capitalism Hits the Fan. David Barsamian is director of Alternative Radio and author of many interview books, including Targeting Iran with Noam Chomsky.
A hot-button primer on the taboo subject impacting most Americans today: the failure of capitalism to deliver public good. Marketing Plans

Using this as a gure for sexual, political, and economic interactions, Wagners poems shift between seductive lyricism and brash fragmentation as they negotiate the failure of human connection in the twilight of American empire.

City Lights Publishers The Wondrous Mushroom


Mycolatry in Mesoamerica

R. Gordon Wasson
Introduction by Daniel Pinchbeck
From now on any comprehensive study of Ancient Mexican civilization must start from (and with) your discoveries.Octavio Paz The late Mr. Wasson is the Abraham of the reborn awareness in Western civilization of the presence of the shamanically empowering mushroom. Terrence McKenna In 1957 Life magazine created a sensation by publishing an article about the experiences of a JP Morgan executive who took mind-altering mushrooms with a shaman woman in Mexico. The story captured the imagination of a generation, inspiring waves of intellectuals, artists, and seekers to travel in search of the mushrooms and the indigenous healer, Maria Sabina. Today, Gordon Wasson is credited with having triggered the psychedelic revolution and his inuence lives on through the growing community of people who study indigenous spirituality, sacred plants, and their role in personal transformation. In celebration of Wassons pioneering work, we present a reprint of his classic The Wondrous Mushroom, an in-depth study of shamanic realities, mushrooms, and traditions connecting contemporary practices to pre-Conquest art, architecture, and culture. The book begins with Wassons rst experiences taking mushrooms, going into a wealth of details about sacred indigenous ceremonies, culture, and practices. The Wondrous Mushroom reects a lifetime of studies, personal experiences, and reections on shamanism, culture, community well-being, healing, and spiritual strength. Long out of print, this new edition is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of psychedelics. R. Gordon Wasson (18981986) founded the eld of enthnomycology and was considered the preeminent authority on the use of psychoactive mushrooms.

City Lights Publishers Robert Duncan in San Francisco


Expanded Edition

Michael Rumaker

A newly expanded edition of an enduring classic, Robert Duncan in San Francisco is both a portrait of the premier poet of the San Francisco Renaissance and a fascinating account of gay life in late 1950s America. Following his graduation from Black Mountain College, Michael Rumaker made his way to the postHowl, pre-Stonewall gay literary milieu of San Francisco, where he entered the circle of Robert Duncan. His account of that time gives an unvarnished look at Duncans magnetic personality and occasional failings, while delivering vivid snapshots of other signicant poets like Jack Spicer, John Wieners, and Joanne Kyger against the backdrop of legendary North Beach haunts like The Place, Vesuvio, and City Lights Books. Contrasting Duncans daringly frank homosexuality with his own then-closeted life, Rumaker conjures up with harrowing detail an era of police persecution of a largely clandestine gay community struggling to survive in the otherwise open city of San Francisco. First published in 1996, this expanded edition includes a selection of previously unpublished letters between Rumaker and Duncan, and an interview conducted for this edition, in which Rumaker provides further reections on the poet and the period. Michael Rumaker has written several novels and short story collections, as well as the memoir Black Mountain Days. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of Black Mountain Collegewhere Duncan served as his outside thesis advisorand Columbia University. He taught at City University of New York and the New School for Social Research.
A revealing portrait of the foremost poet of the San Francisco Renaissance and a gripping account of late 1950s gay life.

Coach House Books Maidenhead


Tamara Faith Berger

Maidenhead is a mesmerizing and important novel, lying somewhere between the wilds of Judy Blume, Girls Gone Wild, and Michel Foucault. Its a thrilling, brilliant, and really hot place to be.Sheila Heti On a mangy beach in Key West on an embarrassing family Spring Break vacation, Myra, nave and curious, meets Elijah, a charismatic Tanzanian musician twice her age. Myra longs to lose her virginity to him, and is shocked to learn he lives with Gayl, a secretive and violent woman with a strange power over him. Myra and her disintegrating family return home, and Myra falls in with a pot-smoking anarchist crowd. But when Gayl and Elijah follow her north, she walks willingly into their world: Myra continues to experiment sexually with Elijah, while Gayl plays an integral part in the increasingly abject games. As Myra enters unfamiliar worlds of sex, porn, race, and class, she explores territories unknown in herself. Maidenhead traverses the desperate, wild spaces of a teenage girls self-consciousness. How does a girl feel scared? What is she scared of? And how does telling yourself not to be scared really work? Tamara Faith Berger lives in Toronto, Ontario. She wrote porn for a living and attempted to make dirty lms before publishing her rst book, Lie With Me, which was made into a lm. She has also published A Woman Alone at Night.

Like Anas Nin, Berger pays little attention to what is expected of a woman writing smut.The Globe and Mail

Coach House Books Probably Inevitable


Matthew Tierney

Tierney accomplishes certain Albert Goldbarthian feats, weaving whiz-bang with philosophical insights that will break your heart.American Literary Review These are high-energy poems, riddled with wit and legerdemain and jolted by the philosophy and science of time. Times not the market, its the bustle; / not the price but worth, he writes, sailing through the rhythms and algorithms of a world made concrete by Samuel Johnson, before it was undone by Niels Bohr. Matthew Tierneys narrators grapple with the gap between whats seen and whats experienced, their minds tuned to one (probably) inevitable truth: the more I understand, the more I understand Im alone. Matthew Tierney is the author of the Trillium Awardnominated The Hayick Limit and Full Speed through the Morning Dark. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.

The Politics of Knives


Jonathan Ball

[Ball is] one of our most exciting young poets.Robert Kroetsch If Lisa Robertson were to collide with David Lynch in a dark alley, the result would be a lot like The Politics of Knives. From shattered narratives to surrealistic fantasies, the poems in The Politics of Knives bridge the gap between the conventional and the experimental, combining the intellectual with the visceral. The complicity of language in violence, and the production of stories as both a defensive and oensive gesture, trouble the stability of these poetic sequences that dwell in the borderland between speaking and screaming. Jonathan Ball teaches English, lm, and writing at two universities.

Coach House Books The Lease


Mathew Henderson
Inspired by the poets experiences working in the Saskatchewan oilelds, The Lease explores masculinity and the roles morality, violence, and hard labor play in it. Equal parts character study, cultural documentary, and coming-of-age narrative, Hendersons poems make it clear that however we may try to stay apart from them, the stubborn and unattering realities of masculine culture persist, not just in isolated, dangerous environments, but in our very idea of what work is. No mark survives this place: you too will yield to unmemory. Give everything you are in three-day pieces. Watch the gypsy iron move, follow its commands. Tend the rusted steel like a shepherd. Mathew Henderson lives in Toronto, Ontario, writes about the prairies, and teaches at Humber College. The Lease is his rst collection of poetry.

Cutting Room
Sarah Pinder

Cutting Room both describes and pushes against the anxious hum of the technologically saturated present. Sarah Pinders poems navigate domestic and natural spaces as landscapes charged with possible violence and desire while they scan scenes as an outsider or camera eye to unsettle and fray familiar settings. Using hyper-focus and the long gaze, they draw the eye to the corners and seams of these spaces, slowing us down, shifting our focus to worn detail, asking us to seek pattern and possibility in a hyper-paced present tense. These are little ominous lms, documenting the minutiae around us that can be our undoing.

Good Neighbourhoods, Crazy Politics and the Invention of Toronto

Edward Keenan
Since 2010 Torontos headlines have been consumed by the outrageous personal foibles and government-slashing, anti-urbanist policies of Mayor Rob Ford. But the heated debate at City Hall has obscured a bigger, decade-long narrative of Torontos ascending as a mature global city. It raises questions: What role does a mayor play in a citys temperament and self-condence? Can a terrible mayor make a city better by forcing its citizens to engage? What place is there in our new decentralized, global, open-source world for an autocrat? Edward Keenan serves as senior editor and lead columnist at The Grid magazine in Toronto, Ontario. An eight-time nalist at the National Magazine Awards, he has written for and edited at Eye Weekly, Spacing magazine, and The Walrus.

Dean Young
Young has always stood out for his sharp humor, boundless poetic energy, and sheer readability. If adventurous poetry can sometimes feel like a tenuous tightrope walk, Youngs poems feel more like zip lines.The Boston Globe Fall Higher is a major collection by one of Americas most inventive and entertaining writers. In this paperback release, Dean Youngs work contends with the challenges of love, wryly cataloging mistakes, deterioration, and broken vows. Youngs humor is as sharp as ever, and coupled with a vulnerability that renders Fall Higher his most intimate collection to date. The True Apology Takes Years The true apology takes years. Terrible dry eyes! The tree rings grow closer and closer together but the nail is swallowed. Great heaps of rubble are moved up and down the shore. Finally a dance is performed to complete the forgiveness, stamping out small res, the whole palladium decorated with thistles like the last twenty pages of a Victorian novel. Now that your hunger is gone youre welcome to the banquet . . . Dean Young has published twelve books of poetry, including nalists for the Pulitzer Prize and Grin Award. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the NEA, as well as an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

New and Selected Poems

Dean Young

In Youngs work, the big essential questionsmortality, identity, the meaning of lifearent simply food for thought; theyre grounds for entertainment. The Toronto Star Surrealism seldom seems as much like real life as in Youngs hilarious and cautionary poems.Booklist Bender gathers a generous selection of new work along with treasure from Dean Youngs twelve volumes. Strongly inuenced by Surrealism, Dean Youngs poems ash with extravagant imagery, humorous speech, sly views of the quotidian, and the exposed nerves of heartache. As the American Academy of Arts and Letters raved, Youngs poems are as entertaining as a three-ring circus and as imaginative as a canvas by Hieronymus Bosch. He is one of the most inventive and satisfying poets writing today. From Even Funnnier Looking Now: If someone had asked me then, Do you suer from the umbrage of dawns dark race horses, is your heart a prisoner of raindrops? Hell yes! I would have said or No way! Never would I have said, What could you possibly be talking about? I had just gotten to the twentieth century like a leftover girder from the Eiel Tower. My Indian name was Pressure-Per-Square-Inch. I knew I was made of glass but I didnt yet know what glass was made of: hot sand inside me like pee going all the wrong directions, probably into my heart which I knew was made of gold foil glued to dust . . .
Only a rare poet can make a reader simultaneously cry and laugh this way.Publishers Weekly

Gerber has a gentle touch and an unaected, articulate voice that can be smart, funny, wisesometimes all at the same time.Library Journal The thing itself carries the weight of [Gerbers] poems, which recall the deep imagery of Vallejo, Neruda, and Wright.Rain Taxi Dan Gerbers mastery of layered imagery and crystalline vision marry European Romanticism with American Zen. These meditative poems engage the natural landscape of Californias oak savannas and memories of childhood, while calling upon an array of literary progenitorsfrom Robinson Jeers and Rainer Maria Rilke to the classics of the Chinese canonexploring what it means to be linguistically alive in an animal world. As ForeWord magazine wrote, Dan Gerbers poems are quick, graceful, alert to their surroundings, and rarely wasting a motion. The Word is the Picture of Things Looking down at the lights of Earth, its constellations of lives, however unaware, signal back to the watching galaxies that have their seeing inside us. I praised ight and got stuck. I praised gravity and got lost. Along the way my life decays, and ripens . . .

As with Ted Kooser, Tom Hennen is a genius of the common touch. . . . They are amazingly modest men who early accepted poetry as a calling in ancient terms and never let up despite being ignored early on. They return to the readers a thousandfold for their attentions.Jim Harrison, from the introduction One of the most charming things about Tom Hennens poems is his strange ability to bring immense amounts of space, often uninhabited space, into his mind and so into the whole poem.Robert Bly Tom Hennen gives voice to the prairie and to rural communities, celebrating with sadness, praise, and astute observationsthe land, weather, and inhabitants. In short lyrics and prose poems, he reveals the detailed strangeness of ordinary things. Gathered from six chapbooks that were regionally distributed, this volume is Hennens long-overdue introduction to a national audience. Includes an introduction by Jim Harrison.

Copper Canyon Press A Larger Country


Toms Q. Morn
Introduction by Tom Sleigh
Toms Morns poems are as infectious and spooky and darkly humorous as the Brothers Grimm, as shapely and colloquial and eloquent as John Donne, and as skeptical and addicted to history-as-fable as Zbigniew Herbert. Tom Sleigh, from the introduction An energetic and moving book of fantasias and elegies.Edward Hirsch Selected from over one thousand manuscripts for the APR/Honickman First Book Prize, Toms Q. Morns debut is rich with the mastery of Morns lush storytelling. From war-torn images of Eastern Europe in the mid-1900s to modern-day glimpses of the American southwest, these poems are bold and brightly imagined. From Castrato: What do you call a gifted soprano with no balls who is too ugly to play the heroine, is never tall enough for the role of the hero? Wait a quarter century and you can fast forward past the oggings, the endless sermons, the giggles under alders with curious girls, busted noses, carped sisters with chubby boys, the innumerable nights of sleeplessness. Better to skip all this unpleasantness and descend the last rise toward the coast where you can stroll the docks . . . Toms Q. Morn was born in Texas and educated at Texas State University and Johns Hopkins University. He lives in San Marcos, Texas, and teaches at Texas State University.
In this exhilarating APR/Honickman First Book Prizewinning debut, Toms Q. Morn interacts intimately with history and story to craft complex and fantastical portraits.

In examining its inuence in the formation of imperial policy-making and execution, Under Every Leaf is also a rollicking good read, shedding new light on the reality behind the partition of Africa, the Great Game in Asia, brains over brawn, espionage, adventure, and dedicated wholehearted commitment, sacrice, and service to the Imperial ideal. Under Every Leaf is a major work of imperial history. William Beaver was born in Colorado and, after ghting in Korea, went to the University of Oxford in England on a US Army scholarship.

Dzanc Books Stray Decorum


George Singleton

My dog Tapeworm Johnson needed legitimate veterinary attention. It had been two years since she received annual shots. I read somewhere that an older dog can overdose on all these vaccinations, and I have foundI share this information with every dog owner I meetthat if you keep your pet away from rabid foxes, raccoons, skunks, bats, and people whose eyes rotate crazy in their sockets, then the chances of your own dog foaming at the mouth diminishes drastically. I also believe that dogs dont need microchips imbedded beneath their shoulder blades if you keep the dog leashed or in the house, or with the truck windows rolled up when you drive around showing the dog farm animals living in pastures. I brought this up to Dr. Page one time, back four years earlier when Tapeworm Johnson was somewhere between eight and nine. Tapeworm showed up at my door one morning, her ribs as visible as anything youd order down at Clem and Lydas Barbecue Shack o Scenic Highway 11, her paw pads split open from, I assumed, days traveling from wherever her conscienceless owner dropped her o. Eleven stories, all previously published in journals like The Atlantic, Oxford American, and The Georgia Review, in which George Singleton brings small-town South Carolina alive. Using everyday situations like a dog needing its annual vaccination and buckets of humorous observations, Singleton pokes and prods his readers into realizing were all simply restless for a pat on the head.
George Singleton writes about the South as nobody else does bringing humor and vision to his regular people getting by.

The Best American Short Stories author Roy Keseys second story collection, Bloodwood, is another fantastic collection of stories in the Kesey tradition: reminiscent of Donald Barthelme and George Saunders. Keseys usage of language is wonderful and entertaining, and his travels allow him to set his stories across the globe with the authority of one who has spent time with the locals. Roy Keseys previous novella, story collection, and novel have all been reviewed widely to great commentary. Currently residing in Peru, he and his family should be back in the United States in 2013.

Dzanc Books A Question Mark Above the Sun


Documents on the Mystery Surrounding a Famous Poem By Frank OHara Expanded Second Edition

Kent Johnson
Preface by Eric Lorberer Foreword by David Koepsell Afterwords by Jeremy Noel-Tod and Joshua Kotin

At the end of last year, an extraordinary work of detective criticism briey appeared, despite legal threats. Kent Johnsons A Question Mark Above the Sun (Punch Press) movingly speculates that Kenneth Koch forged one of Frank OHaras greatest poems as a posthumous tribute to his friend. A noir-ish middle also recounts some very funny run-ins with the English avant-garde. Shame on the poets who forced its redaction and suppression.Jeremy Noel-Tod, The Times Literary Supplement, including a previous edition of A Question Mark Above the Sun as one of its 2011 Books of the Year What you have in your hands is a kind of thought-experiment. It proers the idea that a radical, secret gesture of poetic mourning and love was carried out by Kenneth Koch in memory of his close friend Frank OHara. I present the hypothesis as my own very personal expression of homage for the two great poets. The proposal I set forward here, nevertheless, is likely to make some readers annoyed, perhaps even indignant. Some already are. A few fellow writers, even, have worked hard through legal courses to block this books publication. The forced redaction of key quotations herein (replaced by paraphrase) is one result of their eorts. In this self-described thought experimentpart ction, part literary detective work, and always daringKent Johnson proposes a stunning rewrite of literary history. Suppressed upon initial release, this is a one-of-a-kind book by one of our most provocative contemporary authors. Kent Johnson is the author, translator, or editor of over thirty books of poetry and criticism, including Beneath a Single Moon: Buddhism in Contemporary American Poetry (Shambhala Publications, 1991), Doubled Flowering: From the Notebooks of Araki Yasusada (Roof Books, 1998), and his most recent collection of poems, Homage to the Last Avante-Garde (Shearsman Books, 2008). Best known for his radical ideas about authorship, scholarship, and experimentation, it was with his translations of Hiroshima survivor poet Araki Yasusada that Johnson became both celebrated and castigated. Only after Yasusadas poems were published in American Poetry Review did readers learn there was no Yasusada, and that Johnson was not a translator on this project, but the author. Johnson is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship in Translation. He lives in Illinois, where he is a faculty member in English and Spanish at Highland Community College.
Was a beloved Frank OHara poem written by Kenneth Koch? Kent Johnson guarantees . . . youll never see poetry the same again.

The House Enters the Street is beautifully written, condent, and complex. I was appreciative of its language and intelligence, mindfulness and scope. Rikki Ducornet A demanding and beautiful book, which tracks an exacting landscape with breathtaking inventiveness.Mary Gordon A startling and lovely conguration of stories, endlessly echoing and reverberating, haunted and haunting. Gretchen E. Henderson creates a sublime and mysterious music all her own.Carole Maso It was all about the fruits of labors, not only on land: at sea. Faars life began at sea. Waves rolled outside his window, where he watched watery horizons. His father had disappeared on a voyage to terra incognita, where horned narwhales swam under ice, where prot lulled into frozen oes. The young Faar began to dream of cloud lagoons, bellied sails, and wind. The wayfaring trait had been inherited. He decided to wander. Cousins on the other side of the world sent him a letter to marry their eldest daughter: S-v-a-n H-a-r-d-t. I-o-w-a, they wrote, without mentioning the distance between bordering seas. Faar assumed oceans existed near their home. He was young, then. This beautiful novel is simultaneously a love letter to the arts and a complex interweaving of characters, stories, and landscapes. Scandinavian immigrants in Iowa migrate towards war. A photographer in Arkansas returns to California to repair her family after a devastating re. Stories unfold, modulating and resonating. This intricate, moving book reminds us of the art a novel can be. Gretchen E. Henderson is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Writing and Humanistic Studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dzanc Books The Aversive Clause


B.C. Edwards

[B.C.

The last of your things are in the vestibule. Id come pick them up soon, as Im sure youre aware, the front door wont shut completely and the glass has been broken in and so the rain is doing a number on that collection of forty-ves you inherited from your father but never got around to playing a single one of. Meanwhile, as requested, here is that recipe for tuna salad that youve enjoyed so much over all of these apparently bitter years. Every story in The Aversive Clause has its own unique world: the quiet moments of a couples destruction as one inexorably turns into a monster, a girl trapped in a tree at the end of the world, acrobats hired to tumble at an oil tycoons birthday, an entire city come to life to terrorize a dwarf.

He is a regular contributor to BOMBlog, FAQNP, and the Brooklyn Review.

Dzanc Books Placebo Junkies Conspiring With The Half Asleep


Bruce Cohen
These are poems of unyielding, good-of-heart sensibility, but always at the edge of where the world is hanging on. The words that tell these lives gather themselves at the far reaches of the experiences they reveal, and the speaker is often the unelected rudder in a world that otherwise couldand doesturn so easily upside down. Maybe love is just being very polite, asserts the selfeacing narrator. These poems and this narrator quietly show that it is much more, but that we must indeed work at it heroically every moment. These poems help us to understand why.Alberto Rios Bruce Cohen was born in the Bronx, New York, and earned both a BA and MFA from the University of Arizona. He is the director of the counseling program for Intercollegiate Athletes at the University of Connecticut. His poems have appeared in various literary publications including AGNI, The Georgia Review, Harvard Review, Indiana Review, The Ohio Review, Ploughshares, Poetry, Poetry East, Prairie Schooner, TriQuarterly, and Quarterly West. A recipient of an individual artist grant from the Connecticut Commission on the Culture and Tourism, he lives in Coventry, Connecticut, with his wife and three sons.

O Holy Insurgency

Enigma Books Islam and the West


Wars of the Gods. The Geopolitics of Faith

Ardavan Amir-Aslani

The Muslim world had long been dormant and was therefore almost ignored by the west. Since 9/11 there is a new awareness seeking multiple explanations of those events often in a distorted and simplied manner. Is there such a thing as the clash of civilizations? Or is the turmoil in the Muslim world rooted in a set of causes that are based on religious belief that remain deeply misunderstood? This overview of the state of the countries where Islam is the dominant faith oers new insights into the Arab Spring and the challenge of Iran. Taking on such historians as Samuel Huntington and Francis Fukuyama, Ardavan Amir-Aslani, an attorney and historian of Iranian descent living in Paris, argues persuasively for a dierent analysis and a fresh approach to what has become one of the major issues of the twenty-rst century. How does religious faith intersect with geopolitics in the post Cold War period? America, Russia, and Israel are all playing major roles amid the turmoil of the region but the great originality of this book is to show the complexity and sometimes baing actions and reactions within Muslim societies and countries. Across Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, from Pakistan to Morocco, the world of Islam remains in religious and geopolitical ferment. Amir-Aslanis authoritative voice suggests that western values may not apply neatly into the picture as many leaders would prefer. He oers a realistic and true understanding of this new reality.
Iran and all Muslim countries are in the news. This book offers insight into issues facing America today.

Enigma Books Mussolinis Spies


Italian Military Espionage, 19401943

Giuseppe Conti
Based on recently available archives this is the rst in-depth scholarly study of Italian military espionage during World War II. Italys ultimate demise in the course of the war becomes clear in reading this book that is lled with previously unknown data and shows how Italian dictator Benito Mussolini managed and mismanaged Italys war machine. In spite of the erratic directives that were periodically handed down from the top, Italian military intelligence was able to produce valuable information that was not taken into account or misinterpreted by those in charge. The espionage and counterespionage sections that had been so eective during the pre-war period suddenly fell back in the contest with Italys enemies. How did this happen and what were the decisions that led to fascist Italys defeat are the questions answered in this work that lls a gap in the history of the Second World War and its vital military intelligence component.

Spy Lost
Caught Between the KGB and the FBI

Kaarlo Tuomi
Introduction by John E. Haynes
In this memoir of espionage and deceit a Finnish American who had returned to the Soviet Union in 1933 tells of his recruitment by the KGB after service in World War II. Because Kaarlo Tuomi was born in Michigan he had the most prized possession Soviet espionage could ask for: a legitimate American passport and native uency in English. Tuomi was trained and sent back to the United States in the late 1950s as a sleeper but he was quickly identied and turned by the FBI that was soon feeding him doctored intelligence to transmit to his KGB bosses. This is an amazing double agent story told by the protagonist in his own words. The book has an introduction by historian John E. Haynes, co-author, with Harvey Klehr, of Spies, and many other books on espionage.

He went to trial in Germany and received a short prison sentence in 1964. But Wol, even more than Reinhard Heydrich, could claim to enjoy Adolf Hitlers complete condence. He was appointed SS police chief in northern Italy in 19431945 and ordered by the Fhrer himself to kidnap the Pope and the cardinals and take them to Germany. Wol managed to talk Hitler out of the wild scheme and escaped hanging at Nuremberg by negotiating the surrender of the German armies in Italy with Allen Dulles in Switzerland.

Fred Rose was a labor organizer, left wing politician, Soviet agent, and atomic spy. He was born in Lublin, Poland, and lived in Montreal where he joined the Young Communist League. Rose quickly became a member of Gaik Ovakimyans North American NKVD network where he worked with Jacob Golos, Elizabeth Bentleys employer, providing Canadian passports for Soviet agents.

In September 1945 Soviet Embassy GRU clerk Igor Gouzenko defected, revealing an elaborate espionage operation to acquire American atomic research. Fred Rose was a major player in the scheme. Rose was found guilty of conspiring to turn over information about the explosive RDX to GRU chief Colonel Nicolai Zabotin, and was sentenced to a six-year prison term.

Rescued from slavery by a prince of Megalopolis, Lily is sent to retrieve a very important key.

Will she choose True Love and relinquish the key to those in Power or will she risk everything for who she is and return the key to Arcadia? Narrated by Lilys daughter, Sophia the Wise, this is a story about a girl who learns to live by her own light andno matter how reluctantlybecome the queen her people need. Full of Arcadian legends, it is also a fairy tale within a fairy tale about a troubled world not unlike our own, as well as a beautifully illustrated sequel to Snotty Saves the Day, which critics and booksellers hailed as Lewis Carroll with footnotes by Jonathan Swift, while comparing it to authors whose work can be savored by readers of all ages: Susanna Clark, C.S. Lewis, George Orwell, and L. Frank Baum. Tod Davies lives with her husband and her two dogs in the alpine valley of Colestin, in Oregon, where she discovered the rst Arcadian manuscript, and at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, in Boulder, Colorado.

Exterminating Angel Press Park Songs


A Poem/Play

David Budbill
Photographs by R. C. Irwin
A tale of the tribe (Ezra Pounds phrase for his own longer work), Park Songs is set during a single day in a down-and-out Midwestern city park where people from all walks of life gather. In this small green space amidst a great gray city, the park provides a refuge for its caretaker (and resident poet), street preachers, retirees, moms, hustlers, and teenagers. Interspersed with blues songs, the community speaks through poetic monologues and conversations, while the homeless provide the introductory chorusand all of their voices become one great epic tale of comedy and tragedy. Full of unexpected humor, hard-won wisdom, righteous (but sometimes misplaced) anger, and sly tenderness, their stories show us how people learn to live with mistakes and make connections in an antisocial world. As the poem/play engages us in their pain and joyand the goofy delight of being humanit makes a quietly soulful statement about acceptance and community in our lives.

Excerpt from Obama Karma: Their strategy was simple. Win Iowa, then New Hampshire. Game over. They would become unassailable. The Obama campaign spent a whole year in Iowa building their campaign and in the end they pulled o the surprise upset they had been dreaming of. In Iowa the Clinton juggernaut had been knocked o track in a way that no one could have predicted just a few weeks earlier. The few days between the Iowa and New Hampshire elections went by like a daze. They were all on a high, surrounded by an expectant media ready to declare the Clinton candidacy dead and the Obama team as the giant slayers. Then, like melting ice cream, their victory morphed into defeat in New Hampshire. All sorts of questions were swimming around in the Obama teams minds. How could this have happened? In the closing hours every single uncommitted voter must have gone Clintons way. I think we may not have made it, David Axelrod told Obama. Were going to be a couple of points short. This thing is going to go on for a while isnt it? Obama said with a wry smile. Later that night, however, after some deeper pondering, Obama gave his wider verdict. I actually think this is for the best, he said. Sure if we had won New Hampshire, wed be in the drivers seat. But Id be like a comet streaking across the sky. White hot. And comets eventually burn up. Now people can see how I deal with adversity, whether we can bounce back . . . They want me to earn this. They dont want it to be easy for someone like me and it probably shouldnt be. The candidates reaction blew his campaign team away. This guy really has what it takes to be President, campaign manager David Ploue thought to himself. Theres not a lot of people who would react like that.

February Books Obama Karma


Lessons on Living Inspired by the 44th President

Russell Razzaque, PhD

President Barack Obama is one of the calmest, coolest, and most compelling political gures in modern times. Dealt a grueling rst term of wars, recession, and bitter partisan attacks, he has remained even-tempered, levelheaded, and downright Zen. Obamas appeal runs even deeper than the revolution his ethnicity represents. His rare combination of inner peace and outer passion, his mix of realism and idealism, are qualities that have made him an iconic gure around the globe. Extraordinary emotional intelligence is perhaps the prime quality that has drawn Barack Obamas supporters to him through thick and thin. In Obama Karma, Russell Razzaque analyzes key moments in the life of our forty-fourth president that reveal his depth and self-awareness, especially when confronted with challenges. While temperament is largely inherited, emotional intelligence can be learned. Through simple exercises included in the book readers can learn to improve their own life skills and interpersonal relationships. Finally, Obama Karma helps make the case for the re-election of Barack Obama on the basis of his extraordinary leadership in a singular time in history. Russell Razzaque, PhD, has been a practicing psychiatrist for over fteen years. His most recent book Human Being to Human Bomb was a psychological examination of suicide bombers. He is an attending psychiatrist across several mental health and addiction treatment centers in London. Razzaque has contributed to The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Independent.
President Barack Obamas greatest strength, emotional intelligence, can be learned. This book will teach you how.

The Feminist Press at CUNY Kissing the Sword


My Prison Years in Iran

Shahrnush Parsipur
Translated by Sara Khalili
Shahrnush Parsipur was an important writer and television producer in her native Iran until 1979 when the Islamic Republic began imprisoning its citizens. Kissing the Sword captures the surreal experiences of serving time without being charged with a crime, and witnessing the systematic destruction of any and all opposition to fundamentalist power. It is a memoir lled with both horror and humor: nights blasted by the sounds of machine gun re as hundreds of prisoners are summarily executed, and days spent debating prison ofcials on whether the Quran demands that women be covered. Parsipur, one of the great novelists of modern Iran, known for magic realism, tells a story here that is all too real. She mines her own painful memories to create an urgent call for one of the most basic of human rights: freedom of expression. Born in Iran in 1946, Shahrnush Parsipur began her career as a ction writer and producer at Iranian National Television and Radio. She was imprisoned for nearly ve years by the religious government without being formally charged. Shortly after her release, she published Women Without Men and was arrested and jailed again, this time for her frank and deant portrayal of womens sexuality. While still banned in Iran, the novel became an underground bestseller there, and has been translated into many languages around the world. Parsipur is also the author of Touba and the Meaning of Night, among many other books, and now lives in exile in northern California.

In the fall of 1991, Anita Hill captured the countrys attention when she testied before the US Senate Judiciary Committee describing sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas, who had been her boss and was about to ascend to the Supreme Court. We know what happened: she was challenged, disbelieved, and humiliated; he was given a life-long appointment to decide Americas judicial fate. What is less known is how many women and men were inspired because of Anita Hills bravery, how her testimony changed the feminist movement, and how she singlehandedly brought public awareness to the issue of sexual harassment. Thomas might have won his seat, but Anita Hills legacy mobilized the womens movement and our need to demand more than the status quo. Twenty years later, this collection brings together three generations to witness, respond to, and analyze Hills impact and present insights in law; politics; the conuence of race, class, and gender; the persistent questioning of womens credibility; and current cases of sexual harassment. With original contributions by Anita Hill, Melissa Harris-Perry, Catharine MacKinnon, Patricia J. Williams, Eve Ensler, Ai Jen Poo, Kimberly Crenshaw, Lynn Nottage, Gloria Steinem, Lani Guinier, Lisa Kron, Mary Oliver, Edwidge Danticat, Kevin Powell, and many others. Amy Richards is the author of Opting In, co-author of Manifesta, and co-founder of Soapbox, Inc.

Fence Books Book Beginning What and Ending Away


Clark Coolidge
Foreword by Tom Orange
A modern-day Rosetta Stone, Book Beginning What and Ending Away bridges the wild conceptual experimentalism of the 1960s and the rigid, doctrine-driven personal politics of the 1970s and early 1980s Language poets, while illuminating the path toward a freeform, devastating point perspective lyric that is Coolidges operative method today.Tom Orange Why the same cave? It is continuous. The weight exists, a drill, and it is well. One bridge is older than the stream. Of indebtedness great ground now possess changes. Crack cavity in the sung Hallelujah Chorus. I took a drink, still older than unequivocally slabby. My sac deposit lies life size. The well we have is little more than this sheet-iron. The making system drapes the writers contrast. At over ve hundred pages of sustained, exhilarating prose, this work reconciles the relentless iconoclasm of the language poets with Clark Coolidges own deeply rooted theories of abstraction and musicality, yet remains astonishingly readable more than thirty years after Coolidge abandoned the projectplanned to be more than one thousand pagesin 1980. An act of radical endurance, a resurrected classic. Author of more than twenty books of poetry, Clark Coolidge has occupied a singular place in American letters since the mid-1960s. An unparalleled inuence on the wider avant-gardethe Language Poets, the second and third generation New York School, and whole movements of visual artists, musicians, and linguists, Coolidge is from Providence, Rhode Island. Since 1997 he has lived in Petaluma, California.
A missing masterpiece in twentieth-century experimental literature, Clark Coolidges legendary Longprose was written at a frenetic pace between 19731980.

Each poem reverses communication; pushes meaning from one image to the next, taking it apart, transferring it from line to line in a series of transformations that nally create an experience of the present. Pierre Alferi is the author of over fteen novels and books of poetry as well as three volumes of philosophy/essay. He has worked extensively in the short cin-pome form, and co-founded the inuential Revue de littrature gnrale (19901996). His translations include works by John Donne, Meyer Shapiro, and Giorgio Agamben. Born in 1963, he graduated from the cole Normale Suprieur, rue dUlm. He has taught at the ENSBA in Lyon, France, and currently at the Ecole des Arts Dcoratifs and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France.

Feral House Transhumanism


A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas

Joseph P. Farrell, PhD, and Scott D. de Hart, PhD

The ultimate question is no longer who am I or why am I here. These questions were answered in the earliest civilizations by philosophers and priests. Today we live in an age of such rapid advances in technology and science that the ultimate question must be rephrased: what shall we be? This book investigates what may become of human civilization, who is setting the agenda for a trans-humanistic civilization, and why. The modern Victor Frankenstein holds a high political oce, carries diplomatic immunity, and is most likely funded by the largest corporations worldwide. His method is ancient: alchemy. His fraternities are well known and their secrets are well kept, but his goal of times past and present is the same; he dares to become as god, genetically manipulating the seeds of the earth, the beasts on the elds, and to claim legal ownership over humanity by re-creating it in his own image. This is no fairy tale, science ction, or conspiracy theory . . . it simply is! Transhumanism, a Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas by Joseph P. Farrell and Scott D. de Hart lifts the veil from the macabre transhumanistic monster being assembled and exposes the hidden history and agenda that has set humanity on a collision course for the apocalypse. Joseph P. Farrell, PhD, is the author of the best-selling Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men: The Surviving Elites of the Cosmic War and Their Hidden Agenda.
Exposes the hidden history and agenda that has set humanity on a collision course for the apocalypse.

Feral House You Will Die


The Burden of Modern Taboos

Robert Arthur

A highly entertaining look at social lies and phobias, and the way the worst sort of laws are created and empowered. Unusual and fascinating. Mark Frauenfelder, Boing Boing Taboos, by denition, are o-limit topics. As a book that covers nasal mucus, excrement, sex, and drugs, You Will Die is inherently sensational, and author Robert Arthur takes advantage of that by packing its many fascinating pages with provocative information and illustrations, but You Will Die, beyond the surface, is an extraordinarily serious book.

Taboos are a burden on society. By protecting irrational views they hinder progress towards greater happiness.

Feral House Hipster Hitler


James Carr and Archana Kumar

In a competition of the most hated memes of modern times, Hipster has now caught up with Hitler. Artists James Carr and Archana Kumar thought, why not combine the two? After all, Hitler was indeed a hipster of his time, a failed artist in Vienna scrounging up extra dollars or kroner painting quick architecture scenes for the tourists. In their heavily tracked website, hipsterhitler.com, these comic artists posit a new sort of history in which Hitler wears Silverlake-trendy glasses, thrift store sweaters, and outspoken T-shirts, and the reader begins to quickly understand the history of Hitler in a new and strangely engaging way. The Feral House book of Hipster Hitler includes a few dozen pages of comics heretofore unseen online.
Satirizes hipster culture and the exploits of the Third Reich using a combination of puns, parody, dark humor, and visual gags.

Feral House Several Ways to Die in Mexico City


An Autobiography of Death in Mexico City

Kurt Hollander

In the 80s, when author/photographer Kurt Hollander lived in New York and published The Portable Lower East, life there was particularly rough, and cops often drove yellow cabs as a method to surprise and roust its residents. Before the decade ended, Hollander moved to the equally rough climes of Mexico City, making his living writing and photographing for The Guardian, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and many other publications. Hollanders visual and textual extravaganza, Several Ways to Die in Mexico City, provides a perspective of this extraordinary city that could only have been caught by an observant outsider who lived in all its nooks and crannies for over two decades. Crammed with caustic but fair observations of the citys history, food, cults, drugs, and buildings, Hollander proves that he can love a city and culture that also kills its inhabitants softly. The book contains dozens of extraordinary photographs. While living high in Mexico City, Kurt Hollander edited poliester, the renowned bilingual art magazine about the Americas. He also directed the feature lm Carambola and wrote a successful series of childrens books. Grove Press published the Portable Lower East Side anthology in 1994.
Offers a perspective on Mexico City based on the hazard it poses to health and the reasons to embrace that.

Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men Second Edition

Robert Weiss
Foreword by Patrick Carnes, PhD
Sex is always part of Eds day, whether hes masturbating during his morning shower, cruising the mall during lunch, or engaging in his post-workout gym ritual. He often spends whole weekends either searching for sex partners or having sex.

Cruise Control will help readers determine whether or not they are sex addicts and how to reclaim their sexual health. This second edition is revised and expanded to include the impact of social media and mobile apps like Grindr (which uses GPS technology for instant hookups) on the epidemic of sex addiction in gay males. Robert Weiss, LCSW, CSAT-S, is director of sexual disorders services for Elements Behavioral Health and founding director of The Sexual Recovery Institute, an outpatient sexual addiction treatment center in Los Angeles, California.

Green Integer Reading Films: My International Cinema


Douglas Messerli

Encompassing two hundred international movies, Douglas Messerlis Reading Films is a highly personal but profound discussion of some of the most important cinematic achievements from the earliest of lm historyincluding numerous silent lmsto current movies in theaters at the time of this books publication. As Messerli reveals in his insightful essay, Reading Films, his approach is not a mere evaluation of the lms he has seen nor a passive appreciation or dismissal, but a deeper look into the structures of the works, the lms signicance in society, and their directors and actors personal relationship to the created works. Messerli not only sees the movies on which he writes, but watches them over and over again, nally reading them as works of poetry and ction, evaluating and comparing them in terms of other works of art. Yet there is nothing academic about Messerlis readings, written from 2000 to the present. His short essays are lled with passionate prejudices and concerns that sometimes take him on tangents other reviewers would not have dared. The author elucidates the contradictions and the sometimes subtle problems these lms create that might have gone unnoticed even by their creators themselves. Writing in a lively, sometimes colloquial, occasionally idiosyncratic language, Messerli lays his heart on his sleeve, demonstrating his loves and dislikes in the art of lmmaking. Reading Films is a work any lm loverwhether populist or admirer of art house faremust read. Douglas Messerli is the author numerous books of poetry, ction, drama, and prose, including the annual My Year series.

Haus Publishing A Woman in the Crossre


Diaries of the Syrian Revolution

Samar Yazbek
Translated by Max Weiss Foreword by Rak Schami
A well-known novelist and journalist from the coastal city of Jableh, Samar Yazbek witnessed in person and actively participated in the rst four months of the Syrian intifada. Throughout she kept a diary of personal reections. Her outspoken views published in print, online, and on Facebook quickly attracted the attention and fury of the regime, as vicious rumors spread about her disloyalty to the homeland and the Alawite community from which she comes. This narrative weaves together her struggle to protect herself and her young daughter after she is forced to leave her home and live on the run, detained multiple times, and eventually ees to Europe. Filled with exhilarating hope and horrifying atrocities, A Woman in the Crossre oers us a wholly unique perspective on the Syrian uprising. Yazbeks is a modest yet powerful testament to the strength and commitment of countless unnamed Syrians who dream of bringing an end to a forty-year-old dictatorship. Their ght for dignity will inspire all those who read this book and challenge the world to look anew at the trials and tribulations of the Syrian uprising. Samar Yazbek has published several novels and collections of short stories, the most recent of which is In Her Mirrors. An excerpt of her novel Cinnamon was published in the anthology Beirut 39 (Bloomsbury, 2010) and will be published in full by Haus in 2013.

A devastating and personal account of the ongoing uprising in Syria from a prominent Syrian journalist now in hiding.

An Episode of the Great War

In the early summer of 1914 Sir Edgar Speyer and his wife Leonora stood at the center of London society, an era made famous by the television series Downton Abbey. He was the King of the Underground and a patron of the arts, she a famous violinist and poetess. Yet within weeks of the outbreak of war, they became pariahs, objects of suspicion and aversion. The anti-alien campaign following the sinking of the Lusitania forced the Speyers into exile in the United States. He was stripped of his membership of the Privy Council, but she went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for poetry.

He spent two years undercover in Asia as a spy, escaped the Bolsheviks in 1917, lead the anti-Russian forces in the civil war and later, during Finlands darkest hour, lead the defense of his country against the impossible odds of the Winter War.

Haus Publishing The Golden Step


A Walk through the Heart of Crete

Christopher Somerville
The only plan for Christopher Somervilles walk across Crete was to begin in the East at Easter and nish on Pentecost in the extreme West, at the Monastery of the Golden Step. During the three hundred-mile walk he tackled four mountain ranges and the numerous gorges of the West. Speaking only basic Greek and following a poorly marked path, he relied on his instincts to guide him through shepherding country where villages are few and each nights accommodation uncertain. The result is a book that beautifully evokes a Crete few ever encounter; rugged, perilous, hospitable, and charming.

He rarely spoke from notes, and yet could weave rich historical narratives that inspired and captivated audiences. He could grab the attention of even the most jaded students and charm listeners with his sharp humor and personal, engaging style. Many of his speeches have never been published in book form. This rst ever collection of his speeches will be an invaluable resource for new generations to continue to discover his work, as well as the millions he moved and informed in his lifetime. Howard Zinn wrote the classic A Peoples History of the United States. The book, which has sold more than two million copies, was featured in the lm Good Will Hunting, and has appeared multiple times on The New York Times best-seller list. Anthony Arnove wrote, directed, and produced The People Speak with Howard Zinn, Chris Moore, Josh Brolin, and Matt Damon, and co-edited, with Howard Zinn, Voices of a Peoples History of the United States.

His intricate yet relatable rhymes are like a combination of a Richard Pryor sketch and a guerrilla warfare manual.Tom Morello, Rage Against the Machine Fact is, the brothers some writer. . . .

Haymarket Books Occupying Wall Street


The Inside Story of an Action that Changed America

Writers for the 99%

An essential and galvanizing on-the-ground account of how oxygen suddenly and miraculously ooded back into the American brain.Jonathan Lethem [Occupying Wall Street] runs through OWS beginnings and provides a fascinating look at how Zucotti Park functioned, the disagreements and diculties in running the community, and contains rst-hand accounts of some of its most dramatic moments. Part souvenir, part how-to guide, this is a remarkable and unique book.The Hungton Post For two months this fall, Zuccotti Park was the site of an extraordinary political action. Home to the hundreds of anti-capitalist protestors, the park became a communion of sharing and consensus in the heart of a citadel dened by greed and oligarchy. In the early hours of Tuesday, November 15, the occupiers camp was destroyed when police swept suddenly into the square. But if the occupation at Zuccotti was destroyed that night, the movement it spawned across America has only just begun. Occupying Wall Street draws on extensive interviews with those who took part in the action to bring an inside-the-square history to life. In a vivid narrative, the key events of the occupation are described, and woven throughout are stories of daily life in the square focusing on how the kitchen, library, media center, clean-up, hospital, and General Assembly functioned, all in the words of the people who were there. Writers for the 99% is a group of writers and researchers active in supporting Occupy Wall Street who came together to create this book.

Haymarket Books Democracy at Work


A Cure for Capitalism

Richard D. Wolff

Richard Wol is the leading socialist economist in the country. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about a fundamental transformation of the ailing capitalist economy!Cornel West Richard Wols constructive and innovative ideas suggest new and promising foundations for a much more authentic democracy and sustainable and equitable development, ideas that can be implemented directly and carried forward. A very valuable contribution in troubled times.Noam Chomsky Probably Americas most prominent Marxist economist.The New York Times Capitalism as a system has spawned deepening economic crisis alongside its bought-and-paid-for political establishment. Neither serves the needs of our society. Whether it is secure, well-paid, and meaningful jobs or a sustainable relationship with the natural environment that we depend on, our society is not delivering the results people need and deserve. One key cause for this intolerable state of aairs is the lack of genuine democracy in our economy as well as in our politics. The solution requires the institution of genuine economic democracy, starting with workers directing their own workplaces, as the basis for a genuine political democracy. Here Richard D. Wol lays out a hopeful and concrete vision of how to make that possible, addressing the many people who have concluded economic inequality and politics as usual can no longer be tolerated and are looking for a concrete program of action. Richard D. Wol is professor of economics emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is currently a visiting professor at the New School for Social Research in New York. Wol is the author of many books, including Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What to Do About It. He hosts the weekly hour-long radio program Economic Update on WBAI (Pacica Radio) and writes regularly for The Guardian, Truthout.org, and MRZine.
A new manifesto for gaining democratic control of our workplaces.

Holy Cow! Press Celebrating Thirty-ve Years Ekaterinoslav


One Familys Passage to America: A Memoir in Verse

Jane Yolen

In Ekaterinoslav, award-winning author Jane Yolen writes about her fathers family journey from a small shtetl in the Ukraine in the early part of the twentieth century, through the Ellis Island portal, to a home in New Haven, Connecticut. Her father, only seven at the time, grew up wholly American and never spoke to her of the familys passage. Here, through these brilliant poems, she pieces together a history of her family. Her poems are a celebration of passage, of ritual lost and then found, of a family who left a land of custom and arrived at a place of opportunity. As she says in the poem Round Frame: All those years Ekaterinoslav was lost to me, when I could have celebrated Ukrainian winters, learned words of love, fashion, passion, paternity; how to season the sh with pepper, not sugar; how to cut the far from at sheets of dough. All I had was New Haven. Until she comes to understand with the words of the nal poem, Rebirth: I have written these poems as resurrection. I have molded these words to reinvent moment and memory. I have crafted these short lines for the ones who come after, my childrens children. For them Ive created, recreated really, a lifetime, a country, a shtetl, a home. I can do no more. Jane Yolen, often called the Hans Christian Andersen of America, is the author of over three hundred books, including Owl Moon and The Devils Arithmetic, many of them prize-winners, including the Jewish Library Associations top honor.
Jane Yolen creates the immigrant history, in evocative poetry and photographs, of her familys passage to America from 1800s Ukraine.

Holy Cow! Press Celebrating Thirty-ve Years The Boy Who Slept Under the Stars
A Memoir in Poetry

Roseann Lloyd

This a book about that place inside us all where baement meets mystery: a strange place, sometimes frightening and sometimes lled with stars and pines, clear owing water and the deep joy of companionship.Jim Moore Roseann Lloyds new poetry collection takes us on a sisters uninching exploration into grief for a brother lost on a solo hike in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota. His clothes are found but not his body. How does one mourn without a body? This absence calls up memories of his life and mixed emotions; it evokes other disappearances children missing in Iraq, climbers lost on Everest, a college student drowned. Even though Ive said, for two years now, I dont need his body to do my mourning, Im suddenly desperate to touch your arms, muscled and tan . . . Full of verbal energy and rich patterns of sound, Lloyds lines are allowed to breathe and move about in always interesting forms: prose poems, found poems, section poems, swirling mosaics of time and place. Beautifully crafted, the poems are emotionally complex yet accessible. Roseann Lloyd has published eight books, including three poetry collections: Because of the Light (Holy Cow! Press), War Baby Express (Holy Cow! Pressawarded the Minnesota Book Award for Poetry), and Tap Dancing for Big Mom (New Rivers Press). The anthology she co-edited with Deborah Keenan, Looking for Home: Women Writing About Exile (Milkweed Editions), was awarded an American Book Award. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The poets brother disappears mysteriously in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. These deeply felt poems explore loss, grief, and acceptance.

Inside the FBIs Manufactured War on Terrorism

Trevor Aaronson

A groundbreaking work of investigative journalism, The Terror Factory: Inside the FBIs Manufactured War on Terror shows how the FBI has, under the guise of engaging in counterterrorism since 9/11, built a network of more than fteen thousand informants whose primary purpose is to inltrate Muslim communities to create and facilitate phony terrorist plots so that the bureau can then claim victory in the War on Terror. An outgrowth of Trevor Aaronsons work as an investigative reporting fellow at the University of California, Berkeleywhich culminated in an awardwinning cover story in Mother Jones magazineThe Terror Factory reveals shocking information about the criminals, con men, and liars the FBI uses as paid informants, as well as documenting the extreme methods the FBI uses to ensnare Muslims in terrorist plotswhich are in reality conceived and nanced by the FBI. The book oers unprecedented detail into how the FBI has transformed from a reactive law enforcement agency to a proactive counterterrorism organizationincluding the story of an accused murderer who became one of the FBIs most prolic terrorism informantsand how so-called terrorism consultants and experts have made fortunes by exaggerating the threat of Islamic terrorism in the United States. Trevor Aaronson is associate director and co-founder of the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting, a nonprot journalism organization that produces reporting about Florida and Latin America. He was a 201011 investigative reporting fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, where his reporting about the FBIs informants in US Muslim communities resulted in a Mother Jones cover story that won the John Jay College/Harry Frank Guggenheim 2012 Excellence in Criminal Justice Reporting Award.

Ig Publishing Celebrating Ten Years The Zero Footprint Baby


How to Save the Planet While Raising a Healthy Baby

Keya Chatterjee

In our culture, pregnancy, birth, and childrearing are deeply connected to consumption and resource use. From the baby shower to the minivan and the larger apartment or rst house, the baby-raising years are the most hyperconsumptive of our lives, and can set a family on an unsustainable track for years to come. The Zero Footprint Baby: How to Save the Planet While Raising a Healthy Baby shows how to raise a child with little to no carbon footprint. The book covers every issue new parents face, including pregnancy (what kind of birth has the lowest impact), what to feed your baby (breastfeed, formula, or both?), childcare (who should take care of the baby, and how?), and of course, diapering. Using a mix of personal anecdotes, summarized research, and clear guidance on how to pursue the most sustainable baby-rearing options, The Zero Footprint Baby is the resource and reference book for all new parents with green inclinations. Keya Chatterjee is the director for international climate policy at the World Wildlife Fund. She previously served as a climate change specialist at the US Agency for International Development, and also worked on communicating climate issues while at NASA. Keyas commentary on climate change policy and sustainability issues has been quoted in numerous media outlets, including USA Today, The New York Times, Fox News, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, and NBC Nightly News. She was also featured in a special issue of Politico on climate change highlighting the muscle of the movement.

Independent Thinking Press


Bancyfelin, Wales

Independent Thinking Press is a brand new imprint, publishing the work of some of the most innovative practitioners in schools and education today. An award-winning, family-owned UK independent publisher, based in rural West Wales but with a global reach, the company was established in 1992 and has its origins in the distribution of Anglo-American psychology, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), philosophy, and education titles. Independent Thinking, set up by Ian Gilbert in 1993, is a leading voice in the drive to support creative teachers in innovative schools to think for themselves. At a time when education is in danger of being turned into a process by which schools are actively encouraged to churn out young people with qualications but little else, genuine educationalists need to take back the process of education and spread the message that teaching children to think is real education. The press covers a wide spectrum of educational innovation from practical strategies to engage and motivate all young people, fostering great teaching and learning, to inspirational yet nononsense approaches to educational leadership. We aim to bring out the best in young people and in their teachers with our highly informative, instructional, fun, and often life-changing books. Our authors are our strength and, together, we have published bestsellers, award-winning titles, and ground-breaking work in our specialist areas. A key theme is encouraging learners and teachers to think for themselves: many of our titles help achieve creative thought. These include the awardwinning The Little Book of Thunks, used by teachers around the world to stretch childrens brains; The Big , Book of Independent Thinking: Do things no one does or do things everyone does in a way no one does, the very rst in the Independent Thinking series; and The Little book of Values, because educating children to pass tests isnt , enough. Independent Thinking comprises the work of educational free thinkers: they are committed, non-conformist individuals making a genuine dierence in all sorts of schools with many dierent learners. The Independent Thinking Press is their voice in print.

Independent Thinking Press Independent Thinking


Ian Gilbert

Beyond the goal of teaching children to know things, to pass exams, to get through school, to nd a place in the system, we need to teach children to reect critically on what is going on around them and to ask whether thats the way it should be? Society, success, morals, poverty, social mobility, happiness, values, mental health, relationships, aspirations, self-esteem, equity, opportunity, politics all are linked to education. The education of individuals, the education of whole generations. But what do we mean by education and what should a quality education involve in the twenty-rst century? As one of the United Kingdoms most sought-after speakers and trainers with experience supporting schools across the world for two decades, this controversial book is Ian Gilbert telling it how it is. Drawing on his experience in the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and most recently Latin America, it is a fascinating and controversial collection of articles, reections, and inspirations to open our eyes to what education is really all about. Education is one of the hottest topics in the world today but, Ian warns, it is degenerating into a political football passed between politicians and big business. To address the real issues facing individuals, communities, and countries, we need to get education right. This book can help. Ian Gilbert, award-winning author, entrepreneur, and founder of Independent Thinking, has been at the forefront of educational innovation in the United Kingdom for twenty years and has been referred to as one of the UKs leading educational philosophers.

Jim graduated from the University of Rhode Island. He now lives in the United Kingdom working with some of the most challenging children in school. Jim believes school should be the place where you learn how to succeed in life. Most importantly you have to learn discipline. That is to say self discipline. For Jim, behavior is the B-word and is forbidden! Discipline, on the other hand, is neatly described not as something others do to you to get you to behave nor even as something you do to yourself, but rather as what you do for yourself. Jim advocates a partnership between children and school. The school commits to teach children everything they need to succeed in and beyond school, no matter what career choices they make. In return, children commit to doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, the way it needs to be done. This unique book cleverly captures Jims inspirational message in his own voice. Jim Roberson has been working as a teacher, trainer, and coach on the Discipline Approach for over twenty years.

Kehrer Verlag Saul Leiter


Edited by Brigitte Woischnik and Ingo Taubhorn
Text by Vince Aletti, Margit Erb, Adam Harrison Levy, and Carrie Springer Art by Saul Leiter
Saul Leiter (b. 1923 in Pittsburgh) has only in recent years received his due as one of the great pioneers of color photography. This can perhaps be attributed to the fact that Leiter saw himself for a long time mainly as a painter. After coming to New York in 1946, he exhibited alongside abstract expressionists like Willem de Kooning before beginning in the late 1940s to take photographs. Like Robert Frank or Helen Levitt, he found his motifs on the streets of New York, but at the same time was visibly interested in abstraction. Edward Steichen was one of the rst to discover Leiters photography, showing it in the 1950s in two important exhibitions at New Yorks Museum of Modern Art. Back then color photography was regarded as low art, t only for advertising. Leiter accordingly worked primarily as a fashion photographer, for magazines such as Esquire and Harpers Bazaar. Nearly forty years would go by before his extraordinary artistic color photography was rediscovered. This book, published to mark the rst major retrospective of Leiters work anywhere in the world, features for the rst time, in addition to his early black and white and color images, his fashion photography, the overpainted nudes, as well as his paintings and sketchbooks.
The rst major retrospective of American artist Saul Leiter, one of the great pioneers of color photography.

New Internationalist Dreaming in Public


Creating the Occupy Movement

Amy Schrager Lang and Daniel Lang/Levitsky

Since September 2011, the Occupy movement has captured the worlds imagination. The media has been ooded with accounts of demonstrations, descriptions of the encampments, interviews with Occupiers, and discussions of Occupys merits, political and otherwise. But what do its participants have to say? Dreaming in Public gathers together dispatches, essays, blog posts, and images from within the movement aimed at inuencing its development and addressing those not yet involved. Produced by participant journalists, political analysts, writers, polemicists, photographers, organizers, and activists, these documents capture the vibrant, contentious, illuminating, and inventive exchange of Occupy. Work from contributors such as Naomi Klein and Harsha Walia complement public declarations from the movement, images, and graphics. Some pieces explore the rites and rituals of the movement, others its aims and overall structure. Yet others take up the role dierences of race and gender play in a movement that claims to represent the 99%, and the complicated business of maintaining urban encampments. Many consider the challenge participatory democracy poses to conventional ideas of what politics is or should be. The materials in this collection attest not only to the extraordinary political energy that has already come out of Occupy, but to the implications of the movement for the future. Amy Schrager Lang is professor of English and humanities at Syracuse University and author of a number of books. Daniel Lang/Levitsky is an artist, theater producer, writer, and founding member of the Direct Action Network and Jews Against the Occupation.
A record of the thinking, writing, and imagery from Occupy, and a tool for those who carry the Movement forward.

New Internationalist The No-Nonsense Guide to Corporations


Adam Maanit

Almost everywhere we look, we can nd the workings of the corporation. Their impacts can be found in the water we drink and the air we breathe. They are in our food, our culture, and our politics. They are an all-pervasive presence in the life of everyone on this planet. And yet we seldom examine what exactly a corporation is, how it works, who controls them, and what benets and impacts they have on our lives. As we nd ourselves in the tenacious grip of a global nancial crisis, the need to scrutinize the role and function of corporations is now more important than ever. Adam Maanit traces the development of the corporation from its early origins to its modern incarnation, explaining its make-up and demonstrating the power it holds through wealth, lobbying, and the revolving door with government. He shows how to tackle some of the core problems associated with corporate power in the rst steps of the movement towards a more sustainable and equitable future. Adam Maanit is a longtime activist and writer on issues of social, economic, and environmental policy, and has previously worked as co-editor of the New Internationalist magazine and with corporate watchdog group Corporate Europe Observatory and the Transnational Institute. He is co-author of Europe Inc.: Regional and Global Restructuring and the Rise of Corporate Power, as well as numerous reports on corporate lobbying, trade, and climate politics. He is currently an energy policy analyst and campaigner at Platform based in London, England.
In explaining the fundamentals of the modern corporation, this guide gives insight into the instabilities of the global economy.

Vegetables, fruits, and grains are a major source of vital nutrients, but centuries of intensive agriculture have depleted our soils to historic lows. As a result, the broccoli you consume today may have less than half of the vitamins and minerals that the equivalent serving would have contained a hundred years ago. This is a matter for serious concern, since poor nutrition has been linked to myriad health problems including cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. For optimum health we must increase the nutrient density of our foods to the levels enjoyed by previous generations. To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. The Intelligent Gardener demysties the process while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people. This practical step-by-step guide and the accompanying customizable webbased spreadsheets go beyond organic and are essential tools for any serious gardener who cares about the quality of the produce they grow. Steve Solomon is the author of several landmark gardening books including Gardening When it Counts and Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades. The founder of the Territorial Seed Company, he has been growing most of his familys food for over thirty-ve years.

Christy Hemenway

Whats the buzz about the growing popularity of backyard beekeeping? Providing habitat for bees, pollinating your garden, and producing honey for your family are some of the compelling reasons for taking up this exciting hobby. But conventional beekeeping requires a signicant investment and has a steep learning curve. The alternative? Consider beekeeping outside the box. The Thinking Beekeeper is the denitive do-it-yourself guide to natural beekeeping in top bar hives. Based on the concept of understanding and working with bees natural systems as opposed to trying to subvert them, the advantages of this approach include: Simplicity, sustainability, and cost-eectiveness Increased safety due to less heavy lifting and hive manipulation Chemical-free colonies and healthy hives Top bar hives can be located anywhere bees have access to forage, and they make ideal urban hives due to their small footprint. Emphasizing the intimate connection between our food systems, bees, and the well-being of the planet, The Thinking Beekeeper will appeal to the new breed of beekeeper who is less focused on maximizing honey yield, and more on ensuring the viability of the bee population now and in the coming years. Christy Hemenway is the owner and founder of Gold Star Honeybees, a complete resource for all things related to beekeeping in top bar hives. A passionate bee-vangelist and advocate for natural, chemical-free beekeeping, Christy is a highly sought-after speaker, helping audiences to understand the integral connection between bees, food, human health, and the future of the planet.

New Society Publishers Occupy Money


Creating an Economy Where Everybody Wins

Margrit Kennedy

Money is arguably one of humanitys most ingenious inventions. By serving as a medium of exchange, it facilitates the trading of goods and services, and in doing so it allows for specialization and the division of labor. The development of currency has been responsible for many signicant advances in the history of civilization. However, modern-day ination and compound interest have caused our monetary system to mushroom to the point where largescale collapse is not just likely but inevitableunless we change the system in fundamental ways. As the current crisis gathers steam, bailing out banks, large corporations, and even entire countries will not prevent a complete breakdown of the global economy. Its time for a grassroots movement to knock conventional money o its pedestal and replace it with a new paradigm that puts people before prot. Occupy Money demonstrates how we can create a monetary system that: Favors stability over speculation Eliminates ination and articial currency uctuations Creates sustainable money through creative alternatives such as interest-free lending and demurrage For many years bankers and other nancial insiders have hidden economic truths by describing them in arcane terms that no layperson can understand. Occupy Money explains in clear and simple language why money should serve people instead of people serving money, and in doing so issues a challenge to the very foundations of conventional economic doctrine. A must-read. Margrit Kennedy is an architect, urban and regional planner, and wellknown advocate of complementary currencies. She is the author of the international bestseller Interest and Ination-Free Money.

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do withoutour grandmothers knew the importance of responsible, thrifty choices.

Nobrow Press Dockwood


Jon McNaught

McNaughts comics are slow, quiet, and very sensitive to place and time. The work is certainly poetic but not precious or twee. And the drawings are beautiful. Masterful stu for someone so young.Seth, author of Wimbledon Green and George Sprott: 18941975 in Time Dockwood is a small town in the Southeast of England, seven miles east of Brampton Moor. It has a population of 26,000 and is home to a bowling alley, a boating lake, and Willowbrook Outlet Village. Its a cloudy Tuesday in October and the residents of the town are going about their business as usual. In Elmsview Nursing Home, a kitchen porter dutifully prepares lunch for residents. Elsewhere, a council worker sweeps the fallen leaves from the pavements. Along Nettleeld Road, a paperboy is delivering his daily round. And in the trees, swallows gather noisily in preparation for their annual migration. In this new work, Jon McNaught weaves together the everyday lives of three locals against an evocative backdrop of autumnal transitions. Bittersweet and contemplative, Dockwood is for anyone who believes the stories that take place within lifes small moments can often be the most meaningful of all. Jon McNaught is a printmaker and cartoonist living in Bristol, England. He also works as a printmaking instructor at the University of the West of England. He has produced comic strips for Nobrow, Art Review, and Stripburger, among others. His rst book Bircheld Close was published in 2010 by Nobrow Press, as was his second, Pebble Island.
The inimitable Jon McNaught paints autumn through the experiences of a teenage paperboy, a care worker, and a street sweeper.

On several occasions Molloy was detained by British security forces, and was once sent on a brief stint to the infamous Castlereagh detention center, where his novel Rebel Streets opens. Other books by Molloy include The Vandal and The Green Line. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, Tom lives in South Portland, Maine.
A cracked insurgent and a determined loyalist navigate the rough-and-tumble undercurrents of Belfast during the Troubles of Northern Ireland.

Paris Press On Being Ill


Virginia Woolf
Introduction by Hermione Lee

By turns lyrical, self-mocking, and outlandish, Woolfs meditation on the perils and privileges of the sickbed lampoons the loneliness that makes one glad of a kick from a housemaid. When Woolf imagines beauty in a frozenover garden . . . it seems less a triumph of nature than of art.The New Yorker Brilliant and beautiful.Francine Prose, Bookforum [A] long-neglected reverie on illness . . . reprinted by the sterling Paris Press. This is a brilliant and odd book, charged with restrained emotion and sudden humor.Los Angeles Times Book Review The resurrection of this forgotten work on illness is a boon indeed. . . . This is Woolf at her spangled best.Booklist In this poignant and humorous book, Virginia Woolf observes that no human being is spared toothaches, colds, and the u. Yet illnesstransformative and as common as love and waris rarely the subject of polite conversation, let alone literature. This paperback facsimile of the 1930 Hogarth Press edition, with Hermione Lees introduction to Woolfs life, work, and On Being Ill, is ideal for book groups, general readers, students, caregivers, and of course anyone suering from a cold or more serious illness. Virginia Woolf (18821941) is among the greatest literary geniuses of the twentieth century. Her groundbreaking books include Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and A Room of Ones Own. Hermione Lee is the renowned author of Virginia Woolf. Her other best-selling biographies include Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and Philip Roth. She is president of Wolfson College, University of Oxford, England.
Virginia Woolf explores the universal experience of illness, the absence of language that describes pain, and how illness transforms our perception.

Translated by Eden Paul and Cedar Paul
The Struggle with the Daemon is a brilliant analysis of the European psyche by the great novelist and biographer Stefan Zweig. Zweig studies three giants of German literature and thought: Friedrich Hlderlin, Heinrich von Kleist, and Friedrich Nietzschepowerful minds whose ideas were at odds with the scientic positivism of their age; troubled spirits whose intoxicating passions drove them mad but inspired them to great works. Born in Vienna in 1881, Stefan Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg, Austria, between the wars. He enjoyed worldwide literary fame, rst as a poet and translator, then as a biographer.

Imperiled by unsettling transformations, from postwar reconstruction and rehabilitation to the forces of postmodernity and globalism, it remains adrift. In this landmark study, Samir Khalaf explores how ordinary citizens, burdened by the consequences of war, persisting regional rivalries, mounting economic deprivation, and diminishing prospects for well-being, nd meaning and coherence in a society that has not only lost its moorings and direction, but also its sense of control.

The voice is thoughts incarnating instrument and Elena Passarellos essays are a riotous deconstruction of the ways the sounds we make both express and shape who we arethe annotated soundtrack of us giving voice to ourselves. Elena Passarello is an actor and writer originally from Charleston, South Carolina.

Stone Bridge Press Persona


A Biography of Yukio Mishima

Naoki Inose with Hiroaki Sato

Yukio Mishima (b. 1925) was a brilliant writer and intellectual whose relentless obsession with beauty, purity, and patriotism ended in his astonishing self-disembowelment and decapitation in downtown Tokyo in 1970. Nominated for the Nobel Prize, Mishima was the best-known novelist of his time (works like Confessions of a Mask and The Temple of the Golden Pavilion are still in print in English), and his legacyhis personais still honored and puzzled over. Who was Yukio Mishima really? This, the rst full biography to appear in English in almost forty years, traces Mishimas trajectory from a sickly boy named Kimitake Hiraoka to a hard-bodied student of martial arts. In detail it examines his family life, the wartime years, and his emergence, then fame, as a writer and advocate for traditional values. Revealed here are all the personalities and conicts and sometimes petty backbiting that shaped the culture of postwar literary Japan. Working entirely from primary sources and material unavailable to other biographers, author Naoki Inose and translator Hiroaki Sato together have produced a monumental work that covers much new ground in unprecedented depth. Using interviews, social and psychological analysis, and close reading of novels and essays, Persona removes the mask that Mishima so artfully created to disguise his true self. Naoki Inose, currently vice governor of Tokyo, has also written biographies of writers Kikuchi Kan and Osamu Dazai. New Yorkbased Hiroaki Sato is an award-winning translator of classical and modern Japanese poetry, and also translated Mishimas novel Silk and Insight.

Stone Bridge Press Professor Risley and the Imperial Japanese Troupe
How an American Acrobat Introduced Circus to Japan and Japan to the West

Frederik L. Schodt
Frederik L. Schodt has at long last unveiled the fascinating story of Professor Risley. Circus scholars, history bus, and anyone with an ounce of curiosity should be grateful to him.Dominique Jando, Circopedia.org Professor Risley (Richard Risley Carlisle) introduced the Western circus to Japan in 1864. Three years later, this former acrobat gave many in the West their rst glimpse of Japan when he took his Imperial Japanese Troupe of acrobats and jugglers on a triumphant tour of North America and Europe. Over the next few years, the Troupe performed before presidents, monarchs, and ordinary citizens. Frederik L. Schodt argues compellingly that such early popular entertainments helped stir a curiosity about all things Japanese that eventually led to japonisme, The Mikado, and, in our time, the boom in manga and anime. Schodts depiction of Risley and his troupe is enlivened by portraits of the circus demimonde and supported by nineteenth-century photographs, posters, and drawings, many in color. His accounts of these rst meetings between Westerners and Japanese shed new light on how dierent cultures meet, mingle, and inuence each other. Descriptions of crowds, dazzling routines, and superstar troupe performers like the famous Little All Right are a delightful revelation to anyone interested in Asia, the circus, and popular entertainment. Frederik L. Schodt has authored numerous books about Japan, including Manga! Manga! and Native American in the Land of the Shogun. In 2009 for his work he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette.

Talonbooks Minor Episodes / Major Ruckus


Garry Thomas Morse

In tribute to the surrealist narrative techniques of Andr Breton and Robert Desnos, Minor Episodes documents the serial adventures of Minor, the ubiquitous everymogul who embodies the economic one percent and keeps musically erotic quixotics on tap. Having entered a rent in time that gives each chapter an alternate reality, Minor swaggers through an undersea casino, in-ight blockbuster, bawdy Western, and Kafkaesque job hunt, cavorting with billboard queen Bb Lala and country-music legend Faith Faith, when not dressing down his shifty sidekick, The Concierge, or haunting the intensely disinterested songstress Miss Sharp. However, danger looms in the form of The Stropper, a serial killer fresh out of a shaving promotion, and an enigmatic ginger-beer icon who has retired from a satisfying life of culinary assassinations. Major Ruckus, a contrapuntal text and parody of the speculative ction genre, celebrates the stylistic techniques of William S. Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson, following a frenzied struggle by various parties to obtain an essential time-travel component, a struggle that includes psychic dicks, universal callcenter operators, aboriginal eroticists, lubricant heiresses, rogue advertisement animations, pornography censors, and alien sperm-bank clones, all to the horried fascination of hapless meta-writer Oober Mann. But ultimately it is Carl Sagan who creates the most confusion, when his prudish doodle of a woman is sent into space aboard the Voyager probe, triggering a plan to assist Earths declining population through extraterrestrials in the guise of census takers. Minor Episodes and Major Ruckus introduce The Chaos! Quincunx series. Garry Thomas Morse is a Governor Generals Awardnominated poet and ction writer.

Talonbooks A History of Change


Dispatches from the Occupation

Stephen Collis

Somewhere at the core of almost every intellectual discipline is an attempt to explain changewhy and how things change, and how we negotiate these transformations. It is the most ancient of philosophical questions, but in this collection of essays, award-winning poet Stephen Collis investigates the Occupy movement as it takes up the cause of social, economic, and political change. A History of Change opens with a series of short essays on the Occupy movement as the author witnessed it, and participated in it, rsthand. Here are dispatches from the day-to-day unfolding of the occupation in Vancouver, short manifestos, theoretical musings, and utopian proposals. The global Occupy movement has only just begun, so this book presents an important rst report from the front lines. The middle section of the book is a long meditation on the idea of change as it moves through intellectual history. Change follows certain patterns, and its articulation can be compared across the humanities and sciences. Here the idea of social change is set in the wider context of change as one of the timeless ideas and problems of philosophy. A History of Change closes with a reection on the city of Rome, written in the shadows of the Pantheon. Collis traces the trope of Rome as the eternal city, from its imperial past to the rebirth of Roman republicanism during the French Revolution and the era of modern social movements.

This Poem
Adeena Karasick

This Poem is an ironic investigation of contemporary culture and the technomediatic-saturated world we are enmeshed in. Composed in the style of Facebook updates and extended tweets, each section infuses itself with continuously shifting tones, styles, and commentary which are in turn provocative, emotive, and deeply satiric. Mashing up lexicons of Gertrude Stein, Louis Zukofsky, William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, the recent nancial meltdown, semiotic theory, Lady Gaga, Jacques Derrida, and Flickr streams, This Poem is a self-reexive romp through fragments of post-consumer culture.

Torrey House Press


Torrey, Utah

Torrey House Press is a publisher with a cause. We aim to increase awareness of and appreciation for the land, history, people, economy, and cultures of the American West through the power of pen and story. The world vacations in the numerous national parks, monuments, and wilderness areas of the American West. Its an arid and sparsely populated countryharsh, wild, dramatic, beautiful, and delicate. These red rock deserts and mountain forests belong to the public: to all Americans as well as the people who live here. However, many of todays land management practices remain tied to outdated legislation that perpetuates century-old customs that disrupt and damage the landscape. Even small changes of hearts, minds, and policies could make a big dierence to the land and all the people who love it. Thus our slogan: Writing the New West. Torrey House publishes works that cultivate the Wests version of thinkers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau and the tradition of original western authors including Willa Cather, Edward Abbey, Wallace Stegner, and todays Brady Udall and Terry Tempest Williams. There is plenty of room for more such writers to tell the stories of the Colorado Plateau and the West, and Torrey House Press is here to help both published and new writers share their best ction and literary nonction with the rest of the world. Given our desire to contribute to the betterment of both the ecology and the economy of the West, we donate two percent of Torrey House Press sales to a select group of not-for-prot environmental organizations. Donations also fund a scholarship available to upcoming writers at Western colleges. 2% to the West is our trademark logo, placed on the cover of each of our books, demonstrating our commitment.

Torrey House Press The Ordinary Truth


Jana Richman

Praise for Jana Richmans The Last Cowgirl: Richmans mastery of the emotional geography is illuminating. . . . Calls to mind the work of Pat Conroy.Kirkus Reviews When Nell Jorgensen buried her husband, she buried a piece of herselfand more than one secret. Now, thirty-six years later, the rift between Nell and her daughter Kate threatens to implode as Kate, a water manager for the Nevada Water Authority, plans to pipe water from a huge aquifer that lies beneath the family ranch to thirsty Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Nells granddaughter Cassie intends to unearth those old secrets and repair the resentments that grew in their place. Throughout the novel, sparse and beautiful landscapes surround an emotional wilderness of love, loss, and family. Jana Richman is the award-winning author of The Last Cowgirl (HarperCollins, 2009), a novel which won the 2009 Willa Award for Contemporary Fiction. A sixth-generation Utahn, Jana was born and raised in Utahs west desert, the daughter of a small-time rancher and a hand-wringing Mormon mother. With the exception of a few misguided years spent in New York City trying to make a fortune on Wall Street, she has lived her entire life west of the hundredth meridian. She writes about issues that threaten to destroy the essence of the westand about passion, beauty, and love. Jana lives in Escalante, Utah.
Todays western water wars and one familys secrets divide three generations of women as urban and rural values collide.

Recent & Recommended from Torrey House Press The Scholar of Moab
Steven L. Peck

A mysterious redactor nds the journals of Hyrum Thayne, a high-school dropout and wannabe scholar, who manages to wreak havoc among townspeople who are convinced he can save them from a band of mythic Book of Mormon thugs and Communists. Though he never admits it, the married Hyrum charms a sensitive poet claiming that aliens abducted her baby (is it Hyrums?) and philosophizes with Oxford-trained conjoined twins who appear to us as a two-headed cowboy. Steven L. Pecks hilarious novel considers questions of consciousness and contingency, and the very way humans structure meaning.

A Biography of a Place

Scott McClanahan

McClanahans prose is unfettered and kinetic and his stories seem like a hyper-modern iteration of local color ction. His delivery is guileless and his morality ambivalent and you get the sense, while reading him, that he is sitting next to you on a barstool, eating peanuts and drinking a beer, and intermittently getting up to pick a song on the jukebox.The Rumpus There were 13 of them. The children had names that ended in Y sounds. There was Betty and there was Annie and there was Stirley and there was Stanley and there was Leslie and there was Gary and there was Larry and there was Terry. Ruby said: I like names that end in Y. They all grew up in Danese, WV, eating blackberries for breakfast and eating blackberries for lunch and watching the snow come beneath the door in the wintertime. When Scott McClanahan was fourteen he went to live with his Grandma Ruby and his Uncle Nathan, who suered from cerebral palsy. Crapalachia is a portrait of these formidable years, coming of age in rural West Virginia. Peopled by colorful characters and their quirky stories, Crapalachia interweaves oral folklore and area history, providing an ambitious and powerful snapshot of overlooked Americana. Scott McClanahan is the author of Stories II and Stories V! His ction has appeared in BOMB, Vice, and New York Tyrant. His novel Hill William is forthcoming from Tyrant Books.
A colorful and elegiac coming-of-age story that announces Scott McClanahan as a resounding, lasting talent.

Tyrant Books
New York, New York

Though founded only recently in 2009, Tyrant Books has garnered the respect and the loyal fan base comparable to any cornerstone New York publishing house. Our taste is so well-dened that readers have begun seek out our releases without even having any knowledge of the writer or book. Our readers buy our books because they know what we publish, they love what we publish, and they know that we will continue to publish what they love, consistently. Tyrant Books operates as somewhat of a testing ground for todays emerging writers, whose work is initially deemed too incendiary or avant garde for the more mainstream audiences and presses. However, we have proven with all of our releases that our titles can usurp the attention and praise from both prominent reviewers and major press. Our rst novel, Firework, was featured in Vanity Fair. Our second novel, Us by Michael Kimball, was chosen by Oprah for her 2011 summer reading list. Our American readership ocked to the shelves and online sources to purchase these books, and are waiting for what we do next. In a market polarized between the indie press and the traditional powerhouse, Tyrant alone has traversed this gapand is hailed by the industry and the American readership as the only independent press whose releases contain some of the best writing of the past decade. Eugene Martens Firework, for instance, has become an instant classic. Tyrant Books publishes what will last.

Tyrant Books Strange Cowboy


Lincoln Dahl Turns Five

Sam Michel

Sam Michel is such a smart, manic, virtuosic stylist . . . the kind of deep insights that make you suddenly and newly appreciative of the world around you. George Saunders There was a hot, high sun, a hard ground and a long way o to any certain water, and my wife, a tenderfoot, I thought, not immodest, seemed bent on ruined feet and spectacle, on making of herself to passing innocents a living proof of what could happen to a man and woman ventured too far o alone together in the desert. Yet who passed? Who could be so innocent? Snakes and ravens, rabbits, buzzards, toads these passed, these witnessed, and what could they have made from us? . . . I saw myself preceded by my wife. I wanted to follow her, feel what she felt; I thought that I might nd myself absolved . . . Maybe I would get some. Somewhere in me was a cheerful voice assuring me that what this needed was our getting laid. Here is the head of his homethe one to speak, surelyon the occasion of his son Lincoln Dahl Jr.s fth birthday. Wife and mother order him to engage with his boy, but he remains in his chair dreaming up the speech hell give to convey his life and glory to his boy, meanwhile avoiding his child and all others, until forced from his chair. Heres cowboy Beckett, a man of wonder and excess. Sam Michel is the author of Under the Light and Big Dogs and Flyboys.

Tyrant Books Sky Saw


Blake Butler

If theres a more thoroughly brilliant and exciting new writer than Blake Butler . . . well, there just isnt.Dennis Cooper Blake Butler, mastermind and visionary, has sneaked up and drugged the American novel.Ben Marcus I could go on at what these days were but the truth is I am tired. Would you even believe me if I did or didnt? Could this paper touch your face? Ive spent enough years with my face arranged in books. Ive read enough to crush my sternum. In each of the books are people talking, saying the same thing, their tongues thin and white and speckled. I dont want to be here. I want to get older. I want to see my skin go folding over. Someday I plan to die. Books that reappear when you destroy them, lampshades made of skin, people named with numbers and who cant recall each other, a Universal Ceiling constructed by an otherwise faceless authority, a stairwell stued with birds: the terrain and populace of Sky Saw is packed with stroboscopic memory mirage. In dynamic sentences and image, Blake Butler crafts a post-Lynchian nightmare where space and family have deformed, leaving the human persons left in the strange wake to struggle after the shapes of both what they loved and who they were. Blake Butler is the author of Ever, Scorch Atlas, There Is No Year, and Nothing: A Portrait of Insomnia. He is the editor of the literary blog HTMLGIANT.
Another disturber from the author of Nothing and There Is No Year.

Recent & Recommended from Tyrant Books Firework


Eugene Marten

Praise for Eugene Martens Waste: When a poet pal had put a copy of Waste into my hands, I right away went nuts. . . . Here, said I, in wild proclamation, is one for history and a half. Gordon Lish Firework is the story of a man who, though ill-equipped to help himself, attempts to help someone else, and the beautifully rendered, perhaps necessary catastrophe that results. Unequaled in intensity and often blackly humorous, it is also an exhilarating expression of the all-too-human impulse to become more than what we seem to be. Eugene Marten is the author of In the Blind and Waste.

Umbrage Editions Substructure


CYJO
Foreword by Jonathan Hursh Introduction by Sean Mooney
In stark, black and white images, artist CYJO documents fty Chinese migrants, photographing only the subjects hands to reveal, paradoxically, the collective identity and anonymity of these marginalized workers. Through the migrants personal historiesrecorded by the artistwe learn about the dire circumstances that forced them from their villages in search of work and, ultimately, survival. Since Chinas economic boom three decades ago, rapid urbanization has spurred internal migration from the countryside to cities, creating an impoverished labor force that faces unfair working conditions, limited access to education, and poor health care. Through faceless portraits, CYJO conveys the indignity experienced by the laborers; it is only the unique texture of each subjects hands that provides identication, and acts as physical evidence of harsh working and living conditions. Substructure was created in collaboration with Compassion for Migrant Children, a nonprot organization that helps Chinas urban migrant children through social and educational programs. CYJO (Cindy Hwang) has exhibited her work nationally and internationally at the Smithsonians National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC; T. Art Center, Beijing, China; and The Korea Society, New York. Her work has been featured in numerous publications and broadcasts including The New York Times, Smithsonian magazine, and The Wall Street Journal, among others. Her rst book, Kyopo, was published by Umbrage Editions in 2011. Jonathan Hursh is the founder of Compassion for Migrant Children, which benets children of urban migrant workers and their communities in China through social and educational programs. Sean Mooney has worked as an educator, designer, curator, museum administrator, and visual artist. In 2000 he co-founded SMAK Projects, a New York based exhibitions consultancy that produces museum exhibitions worldwide.
Detailed portraits of Chinese migrant workers hands and revealing interviews juxtapose notions of the anonymous and personal in migrant life. Also Available

Umbrage Editions Sudden Flowers


May The Finest In The World Always Accompany You!

The Children of the Sudden Flowers Collective


Edited by Eric Gottesman
In powerful photographic vignettes, Sudden Flowers illuminates American artist Eric Gottesmans twelve-year experience working with children orphaned or aected by HIV/AIDS in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Using the technique of positive-negative lm, which produces both print and negative images, Gottesman taught the children to use cameras in order to create portraits that communicate the complexity of their experience. With his help, the children formed the art collective Sudden Flowers, where today they continue to express themselves through the media of photography and lm. The eponymous book is a representation of the work produced by both the children and Gottesman himself, and the poignancy of their combined vision. Self-portraits intertwine with youth testimonials to reveal an Ethiopian conscience whose activism and potential was not limited by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Eric Gottesman studied history, literature, and political science at Duke University and completed his masters degree in ne art at Bard College. His collaborative photography project on the impact of AIDS in one Ethiopian community has been supported by arts organizations, NGOs, foundations, and UN agencies. His work has been featured in books and exhibited internationally. Gottesman is a 2012 Artist in Residence at Amherst College.

The Voyeurs is the work of a mature writer, if not one of the most sincere voices of her literary generation. Its a fun, honest read that spans continents, relationships and life decisions. I loved it.Chris Ware, Acme Novelty Library As she watches other people living life, and watches herself watching them, Bells pen becomes a kind of laser, rst illuminating the surface distractions of the world, then scorching them away to reveal a deeper reality that is almost too painful and too beautiful to bear.Alison Bechdel, Fun Home A master of the exquisite detail, Bell provides a welcome peephole into our lives.Franoise Mouly, The New Yorker The Voyeurs is a real-time memoir of a turbulent ve years in the life of renowned cartoonist, diarist, and lmmaker Gabrielle Bell.

Uncivilized Books True Swamp


Choose Your Poison Denitive Edition

Jon Lewis
Introduction by Charles Hateld Foreword by Ed Brubaker
True Swamp is a true classic. Melancholy frogs, awkward cross-species relationships, thoughtful discussions on the meaning of life and love and the possibility of kindness, and of course the ever-present need to eat and not be eaten. Jon Lewis has created a world so rich in detail and personality that once youve dipped your toe in the warm larvae-lled water, you wont want to leave. And to tell the truth, you never will. Its been nearly twenty years since I rst read these stories and still they simmer away inside my brain, like a benevolent ink-borne parasite that burrows ever deeper, exposing strange new layers of wonder and insight in that crowded fertile swamp we call life. Dylan Horrocks, Hicksville True Swamp: Choose Your Poison collects the rst storyline of this landmark series, telling the tale of Lenny the Frogpart coming-of-age story, part fantastic adventure, part gutter poetry. Unavailable for over a decade, this twentieth anniversary edition features meticulously restored art, never-reprinted material, an introduction by Charles Hateld (The Hand Of Fire: The Comics Art Of Jack Kirby), and a foreword by Ed Brubaker (Criminal, Captain America, Incognito). Jon Lewis began True Swamp in 1992. It continues today. Other comics include Ghost Ship, Spectacles, and scripts for DC, Dark Horse, and Kodansha Publishing. Lewis came to prominence as one of a tight-knit wave of early 90s Seattle cartoonists who brought new narrative ambition to alternative comics. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
The denitive presentation of a touchstone alternative comic, long out-of-print and now more vivid than ever.

Uncivilized Books Trans Terra


Towards a Cartoon Philosophy

Tom Kaczynski
Introduction by Kevin Huizenga
Trans Terra is a mutant memoir that melds comics, politics, and philosophy into a heady brew exploring work, creativity, emergence of the new, and the possibility of utopia. The authors journey begins in the frigid wastelands of contemporary consumer culture. Like a surreal HMS Beagle, Trans Terra meanders through time and space exploring archipelagos real and imagined. Prominent stops include Soviet Siberia, Communist Poland, Platos Atlantis, nineteenth-century New York, and Sir Thomas Mores Utopia. Arriving on the polluted shores of collapsing global civilization, Tom K glimpses the faint light of utopia beyond the veil of Apocalypse. Taking cue from Salvador Dalis paranoiac-critical method, the author unearths improbable connections between thinkers as disparate as Ignatious Donnelly, Alvin Toer, Rem Koolhaas, Slavoj iek, and many others. Translated into several languages, Trans Terra is a comic book manifesto for the post-capitalist-crisis world. Tom Kaczynski (a.k.a. Tom K) is an Ignatz-nominated cartoonist, designer, illustrator, writer, teacher, and publisher. His comics have appeared in Best American Nonrequired Reading, Mome, Punk Planet, The Drama, and many other publications. Beta Testing the Apocalypse, a collection of his Mome stories, was published by Fantagraphics Books in July 2012. He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his partner Nikki and their two black cats.

Zephyr Press Twelve Stations


Tomasz Rz ycki
Translated by Bill Johnston

Although the past is a constant theme in Rz yckis work, the present erupts with no less urgency . . . he witnesses the ant-like unimportance of human beings viewed from a cosmic perspective.Helen Vendler, Harvard University The hero of the mock poem, Grandson, leaves his hometown of Opole, in the western Polish region of Silesia, to organize a family reunion in the Ukraine where his family had lived before World War IIbefore being forcibly resettled along with many thousands of other Poles. In this, his sixth book, Tomasz Rz ycki talks back, both to history and to important literary predecessors such as Czesaw Miosz and Adam Mickiewicz, in language that is as playful as it is masterful. Twelve Stations is a masterful work of contemporary world poetry by one of its most outstanding practitioners. In 2004 Twelve Stations won the prestigious Koscielski Foundation Prize and was named best Book of the Spring 2004 by the Raczynski Library in Poznan and its translator Bill Johnston received the 2008 Found in Translation Award. Tomasz Rz ycki also has received the Krzysztof Kamiel Baczynski Prize (1997), the Czas Kultury Prize (1997), The Rainer Maria Rilke Award (1998), and the Joseph Brodskie Prize from Zeszyty Literackie (2006), and has been nominated twice for Polands most prestigious literary award, the NIKE Prize (2005 and 2007).

Zephyr Press Paul Klees Boat


Anzhelina Polonskaya
Translated by Andrew Wachtel

Unlike many of her contemporaries, Anzhelina Polonskaya did not receive a classic Russian literary education, so her work is considerably more idiosyncratic and less anchored in tradition. This book, her rst collection in English translation since 2005, includes her cycle Kursk, an oratorio requiem with music by David Chisolm that will be performed across Australia and the United States. Anzhelina Polonskaya was born in Malakhovka, a small town near Moscow, Russia. She began to write poems seriously at the age of eighteen. Between 1995 and 1997 she lived in Latin America, working as a professional ice dancer. Her rst book of verse Svetoch Moi Nebesny (My Heavenly Torch) appeared in 1993. Eventually deciding to leave ice skating, and to devote herself full-time to literature, Polonskaya consistently has been one of the freshest voices writing on both the Russian and world stage. Andrew Wachtel is the president of the American University of Central Asia in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Previously he was dean of The Graduate School and director of the Roberta Buett Center for International and Comparative Studies at Northwestern University. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and the author of numerous publications, he is also a translator from Russian, Bosnian/ Croation/Serbian, and Slovene.

Zephyr Press Wind Says


Bai Hua
Translated by Fiona Sze-Lorrain

Subtle and compelling, Bai Hua is among the best in contemporary Chinese poetry.David Der-wei Wang, Harvard University Fish Unfathomable, the sh cant sing swimming from silence to silence It needs things, it needs to speak but it stares blindly at a stone The strength of endurance is too precise Senility urges it to walk the road of kindness What is it? Image of a people or an act of soundless immersion? The face of grievance veers toward shadow the silence of death toward error Born as metaphor to clarify a fact: the throat where ambiguous pain begins Considered the central literary gure of the post-Obscure (post-Misty) poetry movement during the 1980s, Bai Hua was born in Chongqing, China, in 1956. After graduating from Guangzhou Foreign Language Institute, he taught at various universities before working as an independent writer. His rst collection of poems, Expression (1988), found immediate critical acclaim. A highly demanding writer, Bai Hua has a small but selective poetic output: between the mid-80s and 2007 Bai Hua wrote fewer than one hundred poems, most of which continue to command a large audience across China. After a silence of more than a decade, he began writing again in 2007. This bilingual selection is a comprehensive overview of Bai Huas writing career. Fiona Sze-Lorrain writes and translates in French, English, and Chinese. Her recent work includes Water the Moon (Marick Press, 2010). Co-director of Vif ditions and one of the editors at Cerise Press, she is also a zheng concertist.

Zuccotti Park Press


Brooklyn, New York

Inspired by the transformation of Zuccotti Park into a liberated space for organizing, advocacy, dreaming, art, free speech, and creative community, Zuccotti Park Press and its Occupied Media Pamphlet Series is founded to extend that spirit through the printed word and join in the advocacy of social change through public participation in debate, protest, and direct democracy. Produced by Adelante Alliance, a Brooklyn-based nonprot that serves the Spanish-speaking immigrant community, the goal of the new press is to produce accessible, aordable, pamphletsize works by well-known and emerging voices who are inspired by a vision for a new society. Producing timely titles that address ignored, taboo, or under-discussed issues necessary for greater public participation will be emphasized along with occasional works of the imagination, poetry, and indigenous culture. Bilingual English/Spanish editions will be explored. We celebrate the printed word, the tradition of the pamphlet, and the important role that bookstores play in protecting free speech and creating community. To quote Angela Davis, who will contribute a title to the series, We transform the meaning of occupation. We turn occupation into something that is beautiful, something that brings community together, something that calls for love and happiness and hope. The occupation of tent camps has ended. Join us to occupy the conscience of the nation. We look to bookstores to support our new eort!

Zuccotti Park Press Occupy


Noam Chomsky

The conscience of the nation.The Guardian Since its appearance in Zuccotti Park in September 2011, the Occupy movement has spread to hundreds of towns, cities, and college campuses across the United States. To date, more than 6,500 people have been arrested in 111 US cities, a number that grows daily. By early 2012 it was clich to say the movement had shifted the national conversationit has. No longer occupying small tent camps, the movement now occupies the national conscience as its messages spread organically from street protests to op-ed pages to the White House itself. From the movements onset, Noam Chomsky has supported its critique of corporate corruption and encouraged its eorts to increase civic participation, economic equality, democracy, and freedom for the 99%. Through talks and conversations with movement supporters, Occupy presents a crystallization of Chomskys latest thinking on the cornerstone issues, questions, and demands that are driving ordinary Americans to protest. How did we get to this point? How are the wealthiest 1% inuencing the nation? How are the nancial crisis and our political system linked? How has corporate personhood impacted the country and why should it be stopped? How can we get money out of politics? What would a genuinely democratic election look like? How can we redene basic concepts like growth to increase equality and quality of life for all? Born of the moment, red hot, accessible, aordable, and designed to t in your back pocket, Occupy is positioned to reach a wide national readership.

Zuccotti Park Press Occupying Language


Marina Sitrin and Dario Azzellini

Praise for Marina Sitrins previous works: Another world is possible was the catch-phrase of the World Social Forum, but it wasnt just possible; while the north was dreaming, that world was and is being built and lived in many parts of the global south. With the analytical insight of a political philosopher, the investigative zeal of a reporter, and the heart of a sister, Marina Sitrin has immersed herself in one of the most radical and important of these other worlds and brought us back stories, voices, and possibilities.Rebecca Solnit Through her deeply respectful documentary editing, Marina Sitrin has produced a work that embodies the values and practices it portrays. Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis While the global Occupy movement is widely seen as unprecedented, its language and organizing practices are shaped and inspired by diverse historical precedents in the United States and around the world. Marina Sitrin and Dario Azzellini introduce the reader to the theory and practices of the movement and explore linkages and connections toward the dream of a common language of struggle, justice, democracy, and liberation. Marina Sitrin is an author and activist. An early organizer of the Occupy movement, she has been interviewed in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Democracy Now! and more. Dario Azzellini is an activist, writer, and lmmaker. He is a lecturer at the Johannes Kepler University (Linz, Austria) and holds PhDs in political science and sociology. His latest book, together with Immanuel Ness, is Ours to Master and to Own.
An exploration of how key terms and words from other movements can help shift consciousness and connect communities of struggle.
