A Penny for Your Thoughts

How are we to find eight short English words that actually stand for autumn? One peculiar way to die of loneliness is to try. Pretend November has a sliver of ice in her throat. Pretend it is nice, pretend the sliver of ice is nice, and beckons you. Talk for half an hour about the little churchyard full of the graves of people who have died eating nachos. Go on until you can go no further brown. Let the river flow. It is written in stone. Let the sparrows take your only coin and fly with it, twittering over some main event. What color ribbon will you wear in your hair? Now the clouds look burnt. But first they burned. To you I must tell all or lie.

AK Press Dear Sister


Letters from Survivors of Sexual Violence

Edited by Lisa Factora-Borchers


Introduction by Aishah Shahidah Simmons
Dear Sister, It wasnt your fault; it was never your fault. You did nothing wrong. Hold this tight to your heart: it wasnt your fault. At night when you lay there and your mind lls with images and you wonder if only, if you had . . . if you hadnt . . . . Remember: it wasnt your fault. Dear Sister highlights the lessons, memories, and vision of over forty artists, activists, mothers, writers, and students who share a common bond: they are survivors of sexual violence. Written in an epistolary format, this multigenerational, multi-ethnic collection of letters and essays is a moving journey into the hearts and minds of the survivors of rape, incest, and other forms of sexual violence, written directly to and for other survivors. Dear Sister goes far beyond traditional books about healing, which often use experts to explain the experience of survivors for the rest of the world. Where other books about rape weave the voices of feminists and activists together and imagine what a world without violence might look like, Dear Sister describes the reality of what the world looks like through the eyes of a survivor. From a professor in the Midwest to a poet in Belgium, an escapee from a child prostitution ring, a survivor advocate in the Congo, and a sex worker in San Francisco, Dear Sister touches on issues of feminism, love, disability, gender, justice, identity, and spirituality. Lisa Factora-Borchers is a Filipina writer and editor whose work has been published in make/shift, Bitch, Left Turn, and Critical Moment.
One quarter of the total female population of the United States will experience rape at some point in their lives.

An Errico Malatesta Reader

Essays by Errico Malatesta


Edited by Davide Turcato Translated by Paul Sharkey
For sixty years, Errico Malatestas involvement with international anarchism helped fuel the movements radical approach to class and labor, and directly impacted the workers movement in Italy. A talented newspaper journalist, Malatestas biting critiques were frequently short and to the pointand written directly to and for the workers. Though his few long-form essays, including Anarchy and Our Program, have been widely available in English translation since the 1950s, the bulk of Malatestas most revolutionary writing remains unknown to English-speaking audiences. In The Method of Freedom, editor Davide Turcato presents an expansive collection of Malatestas work, including new translations of existing works and a wealth of shorter essays translated here for the rst time. Oering readers a thorough overview of the evolution of Malatestas revolutionary thought during his half a century as an anarchist propagandist, The Method of Freedom explores revolutionary violence and workplace democracy, the general strike and the limitations of trade unionism, propaganda by the deed and the revolution in practice.

AK Press Presente!
Latin@ Immigrant Voices in the Struggle for Racial Justice Voces Inmigrantes Latin@s en la Lucha por la Justicia Racial

Edited by Cristina Tzintzn, Carlos Prez de Alejo, and Arnulfo Manrquez


Foreword by Juan Gonzlez
Read the media coverage of the increasingly heated debate around immigration reform in the United States: two dominant narratives emerge. From Lou Dobbs to Sean Hannity, commentators on the right have crafted an image rooted in fear, demonizing undocumented immigrants as a threat to national security and raising the specter of a deliberate browning of America. Leftleaning journalists, on the other hand, foreground victimization, emphasizing the plight of immigrants, stripping them of their agency. Neither captures the range of experiences within undocumented immigrant communities, and both fail to see immigrants as active participants in their own struggle for racial and economic justice. Presente! oers a rare perspective on the immigrant-rights movement, written by immigrant workers themselves. Including a range of essays exploring the intersection of race, class, and immigration in the United States, this anthology challenges its readers to move beyond a legalization-only framework and embrace a broader vision for social justice organizing embodied in the work of grassroots organizations across the country resisting state repression, cultivating solidarity, and building alternative models for progressive social change. Oered in a dual-language edition, with a foreword by Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzles. Cristina Tzintzn is the executive director of Workers Defense Project, a Texas based workers rights organization. Carlos Prez de Alejo is the executive director of Cooperation Texas, an organization dedicated to the creation of sustainable jobs through the development, support, and promotion of worker-owned cooperatives. Arnulfo Manrquez is an organizer at Workers Defense Project, where he organizes immigrant construction workers to defend their labor and human rights.

Akashic Books As Flies to Whatless Boys


Robert Antoni

Robert Antoni is one of the most original and eloquent writers working today.Stephen Dixon, author of I. Trinidad, indeed the whole of the Caribbean, has its James Joyce. George Plimpton In 1845 London, an engineer, philosopher, philanthropist, and bold-faced charlatan, John Adolphus Etzler, has invented machines that he thinks will transform the division of labor and free all men. He forms a collective called the Tropical Emigration Society (TES), and recruits a variety of London citizens to take his machines and his misguided ideas to form a proto-Socialist, utopian community in the British colony of Trinidad. Among his recruits is a young boy (and the books narrator) named Willy, who falls head-over-heels for the enthralling and wise Marguerite Whitechurch. Coming from the gentry, Marguerite is a world away from Willys laboring class. As the voyage continues, and their love for one another strengthens, Willy and Marguerite prove themselves to be true Socialists, their actions and adventures standing in stark contrast to Etzlers disconnected theories. Robert Antonis tragic historical novel, accented with West Indian cadence and captivating humor, provides an unforgettable glimpse into nineteenthcentury Trinidad and Tobago. Robert Antoni is the author of the landmark novel Divina Trace, for which he received a Commonwealth Writers Prize and an NEA grant. He was a 2010 Guggenheim Fellow, and recently received the NALIS Lifetime Literary Award from the Trinidad and Tobago National Library. He now lives in Manhattan, New York, and teaches in the graduate writing program at the New School University.

Akashic Books The Night of the Rambler


Montague Kobb

This is a ne novel, a surprising novel, perhaps the rst true novel I have read about the nature of revolutions. The Night of the Rambler is ambitious, smart, and successful. It raises all sorts of questions about what revolutions want, how revolutions fail, and why revolutions are necessarychallenging all the while how history remembers them.Percival Everett, author of Erasure A sympathetic and often humorous account of an obscure episode in the history of the remote Caribbean island of Anguilla, The Night of the Rambler revolves around a haphazard attempt by a dozen or so locals to invade neighboring St. Kitts in an eort to topple the government of the recently established Associated State of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla. Ostensibly, the action maps the fteen hours that lapse between the moment when the rebels board the Rambler, the thirty-ve-foot motorboat that will take them across the strait to St. Kitts, and the break of dawn the following day, when it becomes obvious that the unaccomplished mission will have to be aborted. The novel is at turns highly dramatic and hilarious, all the while bringing deep honesty to the often-unexamined righteousness of revolution. With echoes of Salman Rushdies Midnights Children, Junot Dazs The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and Mario Vargas Llosas Conversation in the Cathedral, the novel presents an intricate pattern of subtly related anecdotes woven together by a handful of rich and complex characters. Montague Kobb was born in Venezuela and has had close ties to Anguilla for over twenty-ve years. He maintains a regular literary column in the WEEKender supplement of Sint Maartens Daily Herald.

Alice James Books Hum


Jamaal May

After so much contemporary writing that seems all ash, no mind and no heart, these poems show how close observation of the world and a gift for plain-spoken, but eloquent speech, can give to poetry both dignity and largeness of purpose.Tom Sleigh In Jamaal Mays debut collection, the human body is machine, manufactured in the motor city, alive with the urban sounds and beats. Poems buzz and purr like well-oiled chassis. Grit and trial and song thrum through each line. Tight syntax, nely tuned internal rhyme, and punchy consonants percuss each poems beat like an unfailing 808 drum. From Mechanophobia: Fear of Machines: There is no work left for the husks. Automated welders like us, your line replacements, cant expect sympathy after our bright arms of cable rust over. So come collect us for scrap, grind us up in the mouth of one of us. Let your hand pry at the access panel with the edge of a knife, silencing the motor and thrum. Jamaal May was raised by two auto workers in Detroit, Michigan, where he eventually taught poetry in public schools. After making a living as a selftaught poet and musician, Jamaal went on to publish two chapbooks, earn an MFA from Warren Wilson, and be featured in Callaloo, Indiana Review, Blackbird, and Michigan Quarterly Review, among other journals, lms, and broadcasts. Hes the recipient of fellowships from Cave Canem, Callaloo, and Bucknell University, where he was named the 20112013 Stadler Fellow.
Jamaal Mays language hits us hard and fast, immersing us in the rhythm and rush of his citys ardent heart.

Grief and loss guide us as Suzanne Parker investigates the issues of privacy, voyeurism, and human contact, seeking to understand what it means to live in a world where technology can quickly turn a dark computer screen into an open window. Only Kissing The webcam showed only the two men kissing In the eyes now a wilderness when the birds open their beaks not in song, but a breath escapes from the rigor of killing and feeding and climbing to nd, again, the swaying of the grass, the nudging a body makes as it moves, no matter how quietly, through the world, setting its neighbors in motion How do you sleep when the siren is your own exhaled cry: Oh Christ. Suzanne Parkers poems have appeared in Barrow Street, Cimarron Review, Rattapallax, and numerous other journals. She is a winner of the Alice M.

Jan Heller Levi

Praise for Jan Heller Levi: Its Levis humanity that ultimately wont let you loose, words as direct as bullets, as kisses.Bob Holman Pioneering to free herself from worldly desires, Jan Heller Levi approaches the world with mindful observation, teaching us the art of surrender and release. Her adventure is vibrant, one of nonconformity wherein we encounter wisdom and wit even at points of deepest personal struggles. Levis poems are written with unabashed humor and sincerity, exuding condence, generosity of spirit, and love. What Love Is To forsake all others. To oat the beloved on your back from ood to land, to wrench bread from the beggars hand, snatch the oxygen mask from a childs face. To ransack hospitals and nursing homes for drugs to ease the beloveds pain, to stumble down 101 oors, beloved slung on your back, not stopping for the other ones in wheelchairs waiting at the landing doors. Jan Heller Levis rst collection of poems, Once I Gazed at You in Wonder, won the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, and poems from her second collection, Skyspeak, won The Emily Dickinson Award of the Poetry Society of America. She is editor of A Muriel Rukeyser Reader, served as consulting editor for the new edition of The Collected Poems of Muriel Rukeyser, and is currently writing the biography of Rukeyser. She lives in New York City with her husband, the Swiss novelist and playwright Christoph Keller, and teaches at Hunter College.

Anvil Press The Empty Air


Tony Connor
His work is both original and entertaining. . . . Connor does not simply report events. He vividly recreates them, shaping each scene with the skill and care of a novelist . . . his work remains clear-headed, intelligent, and immensely readable.Dana Gioia in the Hudson Review Tony Connors poetry is often partly or wholly autobiographical, frequently returning to the characters and places of his Lancashire childhood. His new poems mix fantasy and reality in unexpected ways, always with the unobtrusive hand of a skilled craftsman. They are set equally in Britain and the United States, where he has spent half his life. From the personal ruminations of Reading at Midnight via the Agatha Christie satire Death at the Vicarage, to the riddling Account of a Possible Coup dEtat, Connors poetry constantly entertains and surprises. From Hotel de la Soledad: The stranger irts, with a sort of abstract grace, using her cane and mine as a limping pretext to stop me and converse on the courtyard cobbles. Seized by her vaunting beauty, I am vexed and surprised to be a man of seventy nine, still ready to let my life turn on a chance if thats what this is. My gap-toothed smile a sign of lifelong, optimistic, ignorance. Born in 1930, Tony Connor has lived mainly in Middletown, Connecticut, where he was a professor of English at Wesleyan University, since 1971. He spends the summers in London. He left school at fourteen and worked in Manchester as a textile designer for many years.
Tony Connor is the elder statesman of English poetry in America. He is rightly admired by poets like Dana Gioia. Also Available

Arsenal Pulp Press The Trial of Pope Benedict


Joseph Ratzinger and the Vaticans Assault on Reason, Compassion, and Human Dignity

Daniel Gawthrop
On February 28, 2013, Benedict XVI became the rst pope in nearly six hundred years to resign. In doing so, Joseph Ratzinger, the man who became Benedict, also relinquished a controversial religious career in which he was largely responsible for the Catholic Churchs prodigious troubles: his scorched-earth assault on modernity and the world of ideas destroyed any hope of progress in the Church while leaving a trail of shattered lives in its wake. In this persuasive new book, Daniel Gawthrop argues that Ratzinger must not be allowed diplomatic immunity from the abuse scandals that have rocked the Vatican. Gawthrop not only accuses Ratzinger of quitting to avoid potential prosecution, but also indicts him for promoting a toxic theology whose destructive impact can be felt far beyond the Church. In doing so, the book examines Ratzingers career in all its infamy, from his medieval understanding of women and demonization of homosexuality to his war on liberation theology. It also oers insight into Ratzingers successor, Pope Francis I, and provocative ideas on how the Church can transform itself, thereby restoring the faith of its followers. During his eight years as pope, Ratzinger attempted to rebrand himself from Gods Rottweiler to Prince of Peace. The Trial of Pope Benedict reveals the true Ratzinger, in the process telling one of recent historys most astonishing tales of institutional power, religious bullying, and systemic abuse. Daniel Gawthrop is the author of four previous books and is a selfproclaimed lapsed Catholic who has written extensively on the subject.

Aunt Lute Books esh to bone


irene lara silva

An original and authentic voice . . . with an original vision. A blend of indigenismo and folktales retold in a modern vein. . . . These stories at times seem to come from the clouds, from spirits of ancient ancestors, or from the oblique corners of the human consciousness. . . . A new and engaging duende is being born in these pages.Alejandro Murgua, author of This War Called Love If Chagall had written, he would have painted words in the erce brushstrokes of irene lara silvas stories. If Remedios Varo had told stories, she would have wound the tendrils of her magic the way irene lara silva paints her world. Cecile Pineda, author of The Love Queen of the Amazon Rooted in a Chicana/Latina/indigenous geographic and cultural sensibility, the stories in esh to bone are concerned with borders of all kinds and the potential for transformation and healing. The nine stories write and rewrite myth from a womans of view, as they tell stories of women and children whose lives are shaped by the social, political, ecological, and economic disruption and violence of the borderlands. A poet and ction writer, irene lara silva has been an active participant in the literary culture of Austin, Texas, for many years. Her rst collection of poetry, furia, was published by Mouthfeel Press in 2010. She is the recipient of the Gloria Anzalda Milagro Award and a 2010 Cantomundo Inaugural Fellowship.

After a summer of record-setting wildres, heat waves, and drought, Hurricane Sandy convinced many that climate change is real and that catastrophic weather events are the new norm. Many people resolved to be better prepared for the next big crisis and to make a plan to deal with the disruption that will come. The Sensible Prepper provides readers with the tools to make a plan and be prepared to deal with the next storm. The book takes a big picture look at additional challenges such as economic collapse, peak oil, and global pandemics that form the zeitgeist of angst many people are experiencing. It provides a framework for taking steps to build personal resilience, examining such questions as where to live, how to power your home, how to grow and store more food, as well as new models of economic exchange. The tools and knowledge exist today for people to be more independent and better able to deal with many of the challenging issues of our time, but what has been lacking is a coherent, achievable plan to build that resilience. Unlike the stock up on guns and ammo books of the past, this book provides a logical road map to build independence written by people who have lived independently for more than a decade. Cam Mather and Michelle Mather have lived o the electricity grid for fteen years, heating and powering their home sustainably and independently with renewable energy while growing food for themselves and for others in their community.

Biblioasis The Strength of Bone


Lucie Wilk

At the hospital in Blantyre, Malawi, Bryce is learning to predict the worst. Racing heart: septic infection, probably malaria. Send Iris for saline. Shortness of breath: TB. Roll him to the ward. Round swellings, rashes with dimpled centers, the small rough patches on a childs foot: HIV. Iris, say something. Translate. Give him a bath. And then theres sleeplessness, rationed energy, misdirected grief, a censuring of hope: the doctors disease. Iris sees that one all the time. Bryce has come to Blantyre to exhaust the guilt he feels over his childs death, but he cant adjust to the hopelessness that surrounds him. He relies increasingly upon Sister Iriss steady presence. Yet its not until an accident brings them both to a village outpost that Bryce realizes the personal sacrices Iris has made for her medical training, or that Iris in turn comes to fathom the depth of Bryces grief. The Strength of Bone is the story of an American doctor, a Malawian nurse, and the crises that push both of them to the brink of collapse. With deftly interwoven narratives and a pathological eye for detail, novelist and medical doctor Lucie Wilk brings to life the ambition, the self-destructiveness, and the ultimate resiliency inherent in African relief workersand shows, in a place where knowledge can frustrate as often as it heals, that true strength requires the exibility to let go. Lucie Wilk practices medicine in London, England. Her short ction has been nominated for several Canadian prizes. This is her rst novel.

With its revisionist assessments, satirical ripostes, and unpredictable bursts of praise, Career-Limiting Moves comprises not just an argument against literary culture writ large, but a condemnation of the polite silence so corrosive to poetrys reputation. Zachariah Wells is the editor of Jailbreaks: 99 Canadian Sonnets and the author of two collections of poetry.

Fighting for My Life in the Nazi Camps

Nathan Shapow with Bob Harris

Once in a while there comes along a story so powerful and so emotive that it makes you rethink your own values. This is the story of Nathan Shapow, a young Latvian, born in Riga, with nothing more on his mind than becoming a world-renowned boxer. However, the sound of jackboots marching across Europe and the systematic extermination of the Jews put an end to his boxing dreams. He was to ght a dierent sort of ght: one for survival. The prize? His life. Seeing his youth disappear in the squalor of the ghettos and the horror of the concentration camps, Nathan fell back on his previous existence to sustain him. The years of training, the running, the speed of work, the threeround amateur ghts in the gym, the street ghts in Riga, and the sheer competitive nature he developed saved him on more than one occasion, especially when he was forced to box for his life against a top German ghter in a concentration camp. The Boxers Story is an extraordinary and powerful true story that reads like a thriller. It will deeply aect everyone who reads it. Nathan Shapow was born in Riga, Latvia, and survived various camps including Birkenau and Stuttho. After the war he went to Palestine, where he fought for the creation of Israel. He lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife and family.
The Boxers Story is an extraordinary and powerful true story from the Holocaust that reads like a thriller.

Biteback Publishing A Spy Like No Other


The Cuban Missile Crisis, The KGB and the Kennedy Assassination

Robert Holmes
The arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States was the most dangerous confrontation in the history of the world. Nikita Khrushchevs decision to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, and John F. Kennedys willingness to call his blu, brought the Soviet Union and the West to the edge of a cataclysmic nuclear war. Kennedys condence in his brinkmanship hung on evidence provided by Oleg Penkovsky, the MI6/CIA agent inside Soviet military intelligence. While researching Penkovskys story, Robert Holmes stumbled upon an astonishing chain of intrigue, betrayal, and revenge that suggested a group of maverick Soviet intelligence ocers had plotted the crime of the century. When Penkovskys treachery was discovered he was executed and his boss, General Ivan Serov (the head of Soviet military intelligence) was humiliated. In this extraordinary study, Holmes suggests Serovs anger at Americas victory in Cuba and his resentment at the treachery of his protg turned into an obsessive determination to gain revengeand reveals the opportunity he had to do so by working with KGB rogue ocers to enlist a young American loner, Lee Harvey Oswald, to assassinate the President. Robert Holmes was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He was a British diplomat for more than thirty years, serving in a number of foreign capitals including Moscow, Russia, and Budapest, Hungary, during the depths of the Cold War.

Divine Star

David Bret

Though there have been numerous biographies of Greta Garbo, this is the rst to fully investigate the two so-called missing periods in the life of this most mysterious and enigmatic of all the Hollywood stars. The rst, during the late 1920s, when Garbo disappeared completely for several months, forcing the studio to employ a lookalike, was almost certainly to conceal a pregnancy. The second occurred during World War II, when Garbo was employed by British intelligence to track down Nazi sympathizers. In Greta Garbo: Divine Star, David Bret has acquired a large amount of previously unsourced material along with anecdotes from friends and colleagues of the star which have never before been published. For the rst time, he paints a complete portrait of her childhood and youth in Sweden. Bret has also sourced copies of all Garbos lmswith the exception The Divine Woman, of which no print survives, including the silentbefore scenes were trimmed or cut. David Bret is one of Britains leading showbusiness biographers. His many, highly successful, biographies include those of Edith Piaf, Doris Day, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Errol Flynn, and Mario Lanza.

Why is a book about SMERSH relevant today? As Mr. Birstein takes pains to point out, the present Russian government seems intent on whitewashing Stalins atrocities and the history of the Soviet security services. The Washington Times SMERSH is primarily known to readers in English as James Bonds sinister opponent. Yet SMERSH was a real organization and was just as diabolical as its ctional counterpart. Based on Russian documents and memoirs, a critical missing piece of the history of World War II and the Soviet secret services is nally exposed to the light of day. Vadim J. Birstein, PhD, is a historian, activist, and molecular geneticist. He lives in New York.

Bitter Lemon Press Hotel Brasil


Frei Betto
Translated by Jethro Soutar

The setting for this witty and insightful debut crime novel is a Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, family hotel. Rio is the perfect backdrop with its history of military dictatorship, drug wars, child gangs, and violent policing tactics. The decapitated body of a hotel resident is found. The eyes have been removed from the head, casually left on the oor of the room. The victims eerie, frozen Mona Lisa smile seems to indicate that the murderer had been received as a friend. According to the police, the victim was stabbed in the heart and died before the decapitation. As the investigation continues with few leads or clues worth pursuing, other hotel clients are found dead, all decapitated, usually with the head found delicately balanced on their knees. This classical crime novel provides an opportunity for Frei Betto (a Dominican friar, once a political prisoner, a union activist, and then an adviser to President Lula da Silva) to describe Brazilian society, especially those left at its edge, like Rios favela children, abused, hunted-down, but also addicted to drugs and violent crime. The book tells the fascinating back stories of the hotel residents, suspects, and eventual victims, such as the maid who dreams of making it in television soaps, and the female pimp who has survived incestuous rape, while being faithful to a suspenseful intrigue that could have been thought up by Ruth Rendell. Brazil will receive much attention as host of the 2014 Football World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
The murder of guests in a run-down family hotel in Rio de Janeiro, smiling heads severed with a blunt blade.

BOA Editions, Ltd. The Book of Goodbyes


Jillian Weise

Winner of the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award. The Los Angeles Times described Jillian Weises debut poetry collection as a fearless dissection of the taboo and the hidden. In this second collection she forwards her bold, sexy poetics by chronicling an aair with a man she names Big Logos. These poems throw into question sex, the law, identity, sentiment, and power, shifting between lyric and narrative, hyper-realism and magical realism, fact and ction. Ive Been Waiting All Night I reckon you were asleep with your girl before the phone rang. Make something up. Ive been waiting all night to tell you about the couple in post-War France, the woman fresh in her grave and the man who didnt like his mistress dead, no sir, and so exhumed her, to the dismay of his wife, who had him arrested for the stink he made. She was reburied, returned to the dead. After jail, he dug her up to fuck again. Attached suction cups and crafted a wig from a broom. You can go now. Im more in the mood than youre used to. Jillian Weisean above-the-knee amputee with a computerized prosthetic identies as a cyborg and has discussed the identity in essays for the New York Times and Drunken Boat. Her books include The Amputees Guide to Sex (Soft Skull Press, 2007) and The Colony (Counterpoint/Soft Skull Press, 2010). She is an assistant professor at Clemson University, a contributing editor at the South Carolina Review, and co-director of the Annual Clemson Literary Festival.
The winner of the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award writes of sex, identity, and the power struggles within a deranged love affair.

Translated by Kazim Ali and Mohammad Jafar Mahallati
Sohrab Sepehri (19281980) is one of the major Iranian poets of the twentieth century. Well-versed in Buddhism, mysticism, and Western traditions, he mingled Western concepts with Eastern ones, creating a poetry unsurpassed in the history of Persian literature. In Iran his verses are often recited in public gatherings and lines from them were used as slogans by the protesters in 2009. This rst full-length American volume collects poems from three of Sepehris most important books, including the incredibly popular Waters Footfall. I want to know: Why is a horse noble and the dove beloved but no one keeps a pet vulture in a gilded cage. Why is the humble clover trodden upon rather than the red tulip. I want to see anew and wash the words of the world in wind and rain.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must rst invent the universe.Carl Sagan Poet and baker Kate Lebo takes her cue from Carl Sagans quote to reinterpret everything we thought we knew about pie. Lebo calls the book a collection of facts, both real and imagined, about pie. It includes time-proven recipes, an eclectic mix of prose poems, a pie horoscope, and ephemera. Lebo explores the tension between the container and the contained while also busting clichs and creating new myths around strawberry rhubarb, vanilla cream, mincemeat, and many other pies. A Commonplace Book of Pie expands on Lebos successful chapbook of the same name that has two thousand copies in circulation.

Cinco Puntos Press House of Purple Cedar


Tim Tingle

The hour has come to speak of troubled times. It is time we spoke of Skullyville. Thus begins Rose Goodes story of her growing up in Indian Territory in pre-statehood Oklahoma. Skullyville, a once-thriving Choctaw community, was destroyed by land-grabbers, culminating in the arson on New Years Eve, 1896, of New Hope Academy for Girls. Twenty Choctaw girls died, but Rose escaped. She is blessed by the presence of her grandmother Pokoni and her grandfather Amafo, both respected elders who understand the old ways. Soon after the re, the white sheri beats Amafo in front of the towns people, humiliating him. Instead of asking the Choctaw community to avenge the beating, her grandfather decides to follow the path of forgiveness. And so unwinds this tale of mystery, Indian-style magical realism, and deep wisdom. Its a world where backwoods spiritualism and Bible-thumping Christianity mix with bad guys; a one-legged woman shop-keeper, her oaf of a husband, herbal potions, and shape-shifting panthers rendering justice. Tim Tinglea scholar of his nations language, culture, and spiritualitytells Roses story of good and evil with understanding and even laugh-out-loud Choctaw humor. Tim Tingle, responding to a scarcity of Choctaw literature, began interviewing tribal elders in the early 90s. His collection Walking the Choctaw Road was the Oklahoma Book of the Year. Tingles childrens book, Crossing Bok Chitto, garnered over twenty state and national awards, including Best Childrens Book from the American Indian Library Association, and was an Editors Choice in the New York Times Book Review.
A Choctaw tale of tragedy, whites and Indians, good and evil, revenge and forgiveness, even humor and magic realism, Choctaw-style.

City Lights Publishers Culture of Cruelty


How Americas Elite Demonize the Poor, Valorize the Rich and Jeopardize the Future

Tim Wise
One of the most brilliant, articulate, and courageous critics of white privilege in the nation.Michael Eric Dyson Tim Wise is one of Americas most prolic public intellectuals. His critically acclaimed books, high-prole media interviews, and year-round speaking schedule have established him as a leading voice for racial equity. In Culture of Cruelty, Wise builds on his erce critique of racial privilege to discuss a related issue: class disparity and a culture of cruelty that demonizes those in need. As Wise demonstrates, there was a time when the hardship of fellow Americans stirred feelings of sympathy, civic responsibility, and direct support for policies meant to alleviate poverty. But today, mainstream discourse increasingly blames low-income folks for their own situation, and the notion of an intractable culture of poverty has pushed our country in an especially ugly direction. Wise shows how the wealthy elite has commandeered discussions about class, moving the nation toward scorn and disengagement from the marginalized. With clarity and precision, Wise not only documents growing contempt for the nations have-nots, but also explores the reasons for it. In doing so, he demonstrates how classism, racism, and sexism are inextricably linked, and how popular culture has contributed to a deepening indierence to those who are struggling. Finally, Wise shows that far from a culture of poverty, it is the culture of auence and power that deserves the blame for Americas economic and social crises. Tim Wise is author of many books, including Dear White America and Colorblind.
Marketing Plans A scalding indictment of how the wealthy inuence the national economy, politics, and media to disadvantage those already less fortunate.

City Lights Publishers Yokohama Threeway


And Other Small Shames

Beth Lisick

Praise for Beth Lisick: An author you cant refuse.Entertainment Weekly [Her] sense of humor makes even the more ridiculous aspects of her history appealing. Full of oddball charm.People, critics choice A delightful, Plimptonesque exercise in immersive journalism . . . sharp, irreverent, and endearingly screwed-up.Kirkus Reviews Peering into lifes cringe-worthy moments, best-selling author Beth Lisick excavates territory that most would rather ignore. Funny, odd, deeply personal, yet somehow universal, these are the kind of memories that haunt us all, the small awful moments of shame and humiliation that wed rather forget than relive. Beth Lisick has made a career of opening her life to her readers in all of its messy, smart hilarity, but this type of story doesnt usually nd its way into a memoir. With her trademark humor and sly intelligence, writing in short ashes the way these episodes tend to pop up in memory, Lisick recounts her most embarrassing moments with gusto. From a trick she played on a neighbor thirty years ago to what she accidentally blurted out at last nights dinner party, she explores the bad judgments and free-oating regrets that keep her up at night, and the result is a daring, candid, and wickedly funny collection of embarrassment embraced, the triumph of humor and perspective over everyday mortication. Writer, performer, and independent lm actress Beth Lisick is the author of the New York Times best-selling comic memoir Everybody Into the Pool and the gonzo self-help manifesto Helping Me Help Myself.
Funny, odd, deeply personal, yet somehow universal, Yokohama Threeway is a collection of one womans most humiliating moments, revealed with wit and gusto.

Dispatches from the Front Lines of Homeland Security

Todd Miller

Praise for Todd Miller: [Miller] oers a vision of what the military-industrial complex looks like once its transported, jobs and all, to the USMexican border and turned into a consumer mall for the post-9/11 era . . . [its] a striking and original picture. Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch Armed authorities watch from a military-grade surveillance tower as lines of people stream toward the security checkpoint, tickets in hand, anxious and excited to get through the gate. Few seem to notice or care that the US Border Patrol is monitoring the Super Bowl, as they have for years, one of the many ways that forces created to police the borders are now being used, in an increasingly militarized fashion, to survey and monitor the whole of American society. In fast-paced prose, Todd Miller sounds an alarm as he chronicles the changing landscape. Traveling the countryand beyondto speak with the people most involved with and impacted by the Border Patrol, he combines these rst-hand encounters with careful research to expose a vast and booming industry for high-end technology, weapons, surveillance, and prisons. While politicians and corporations reap substantial prots, the experiences of millions of men, women, and children point to staggering humanitarian consequences. Border Patrol Nation shows us in stark relief how the entire country has become a militarized border zone, with consequences that aect us all. Todd Miller has worked on US border issues for over fteen years. His writing has appeared in Mother Jones, the Nation, TomDispatch, the Hungton Post, Al-Jazeera English, Common Dreams, and many others.
Fast-paced frontline reporting and analysis on the militaristic spread of the US Border Patrol and the long-term consequences for a free society.

City Lights Publishers Ghost Tantras


Michael McClure

Praise for Michael McClure: Michael McClure shares a place with the great William Blake, with the visionary Shelley, with the passionate D.H. Lawrence.Robert Creeley McClures poetry is a blob of protoplasmic energy.Allen Ginsberg Without McClures roar there would have been no Sixties.Dennis Hopper Michael McClure is a living legend. One of the poets who participated in the famous Six Gallery reading that featured the public debut of Allen Ginsbergs landmark poem Howl, he was immortalized by Jack Kerouac in his novel Big Sur. A central gure of the Beat Generation, McClure collaborated with Wallace Berman and Bruce Conner and was later associated with San Franciscos psychedelic counterculture. Originally self-published in 1964 and long out of print, Ghost Tantras is one of McClures signature works, a book mostly written in beast language. A mix of lyrical, guttural, and laryngeal sound, lion roars, and a touch of detonated dada, this is one of his best-known but least available books, a deep well from which decades of poetry have drawn. McClures inspiration has always been the animal consciousness that still lives in mankind, and he has had a consistent message: When a man does not admit that he is an animal, he is less than an animal. Ghost Tantras is his original and singular manifesto for a poetry that relies not on images and pictures, but on muscular, sensual, energetic sound. Michael McClure has received numerous awards. At the age of eighty, he continues to reach new audiences through his poetry, plays, and performance.
Lion roars, detonated dada, and visceral emotional truths: Michael McClure describes these tantras as ceremonies to change the nature of reality.

City Lights Publishers Forest of A Thousand Daemons


A Hunters Saga

Daniel Orowole Fagunwa


Translated by Wole Soyinka Illustrated by Bruce Onabrakpeya
His total conviction in multiple existences within our physical world is as much an inspiration to some of the most brilliant ction in Yoruba writing as it is a deeply felt urge to justify the ways of God to man.Wole Soyinka A classic work of African literature, Forest of A Thousand Daemons is the rst novel to be written in the Yoruba language. First published in Nigeria in 1939, it is one of that countrys most revered and widely read works, and its inuence on Nigerian literature is profound, most notably in the works of Amos Tutuola. A triumph of the mythic imagination, the narrative unfolds in a landscape where, true to Yoruba cosmology, human, natural, and supernatural beings are compellingly and wonderfully alive at once: a world of warriors, sages, and kings; magical trees and snake people; spirits, Ghommids, and bog-trolls. Here are the adventures of Akara-ogunson of a brave warrior and wicked witchas he journeys into the forest, encountering and dealing with all-tooreal unforeseen forces, engaging in dynamic spiritual and moral relationships with personications of his fate, projections of the terrors that haunt man. Nobel Prizewinning author Wole Soyinka translated Fagunwas masterwork while imprisoned during the Nigerian Civil War in the 1960s. He also provides an essay on the special challenges of translating Fagunwa from the Yoruba into English, along with a glossary of Yoruba and unfamiliar words. Daniel Orowole Fagunwa was born in western Nigeria in 1903. He died in a motorcycle accident in 1963.
The rst novel written in the Yoruba language and one of the rst to be written in any African language.

City Lights Publishers An Army of Lovers


Juliana Spahr and David Buuck

A picaresque experimental novel, An Army of Lovers is the story of Demented Panda and Koki, two friends trying to be political poets in a time when poetry has lost its ability to eect social change. Their collaboration unleashes a torrent of consumerist excess that morphs into a Gitmo-style torture camp. Our heroes struggle to avoid complicity in the spectacle, yet are unable to overcome it through poetry. Instead it invades their bodies, manifesting itself through blisters and other symptoms, as the poets attempt to move beyond this impasse. Absurdist, fantastic, conceptual, Army is a novel for the Occupy generation.

Jeet Heer more thoroughly and widely understands comics history and the perplexing binomial life of the cartoonist better than anyone whos not one. As well-versed in literature as he is in comics, he always gets at the peculiar, poetical texture of his subject not only by what he writes, but how he writes itclearly, melliuously, and beautifully. Our humble discipline is singularly lucky to have him telling its story.Chris Ware In a partnership spanning four decades, Franoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman have become the pre-eminent power couple of cutting-edge graphic art. Their landmark magazine Raw, which rst published artists such as Ben Katchor, Chris Ware, and Charles Burns, brought an avant-garde sensibility to comics and, along with Spiegelmans legendary graphic novel Maus, completely revolutionized the form. As art editor of the New Yorker since 1993, Mouly has remade the face of that venerable magazine with covers that capture the political and social upheavals of the last two decades, such as the black-on-black cover after 9/11 and the infamous Barack Obama st-bump cartoon. Based on exclusive interviews with Mouly, Spiegelman, and a pantheon of comics artists including Dan Clowes, Barry Blitt, Anita Kunz, and Adrian TomineIn Love with Art is both an intimate portrait of Mouly and a rare, behind-the-scenes look at some of todays most iconic images. Through the prism of an uncommonly successful relationship, the book tells the story of one of the most remarkable artistic transformations of our time. Jeet Heers writing has appeared in the Guardian, Slate, Boston Globe, the American Prospect, and the Virginia Quarterly Review.
Learn about the woman behind the graphic novel revolution, Franoise Mouly, and her long relationship with Art Maus Spiegelman.

Every weekend all across North America, bleary-eyed diners wait in long lines to be served overpriced eggs by hungover waitsta. What does this rituals enduring popularity say about shifting attitudes towards social status, leisure time, and consumption? Drawing on theories from Thorstein Veblen to Richard Florida, as well as Shawn Micallefs own journey from the rust belt to cosmopolitan metropolis, The Trouble with Brunch incisively explores how, as manufacturing economies morph into service and creative ones, long-held conceptions of class and taste transform with them.

The Cage
Martin Vaughn-James

First published in 1975, The Cage was a graphic novel before there was a name for the genre. Cryptic and disturbing, like Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) illustrating a lm by Ozu, it spurns narrative for atmosphere, guiding us through a series of disarrayed rooms and desolate landscapes, tracking a stuttering and circling time and a sequence of objects: headphones, inky stains, bedsheets. With a creeping ominousness, we get a sense that meaning demands a new semiotics, that its not about where were going but howif we get there. Martin Vaughn-James (19432009) was a painter and groundbreaking comics-maker, and the author of Elephant, The Projector, and The Park. He lived in England, Australia, Canada, and Belgium.

A Novel

Dan Beachy-Quick

Daniel is pursued by stories. His father, in thrall to a myth, has disappeared; his mother and sister, too; and Lydia, his lover, leaves him and the novel he cannot nish for quantum mechanics, the place where theory tells tales about the real. And then there is Pearl, the girl beneath the oorboards, whose adventures hum alongside Daniels own. In this contemporary, contemplative fairy tale, the autobiographical novel takes on the cast of legend, and the uncertainty of memory leaves reality on shaky ground. Can parallel universes exist? Can a preoccupation with Moby Dick overwhelm the story unfolding before you? Where do you stand in relation to the metaphysics of your own life? Dan Beachy-Quick is the author of ve books of poetry, most recently Circles Apprentice; two books of prose, A Whalers Dictionary and Wonderful Investigations; as well as a number of chapbooks and two collaborations, Conversities (with Srikanth Reddy) and Work from Memory (with Matthew Goulish). He teaches in the MFA program at Colorado State University, and lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, with his wife and two daughters.

Coffee House Press Collected Poems


Ron Padgett
Gathering the work of more than fty years, Ron Padgetts Collected Poems is the record of one of the most dynamic careers in twentieth-century American poetry. Padgetts poems reverberate with his reading and friendships, from Andrew Marvell to Woody Guthrie and Kenneth Koch. Wry, insightful, and direct, they oer readers the rewards of his endless curiosity and generous spirit. From Glow: When I wake up earlier than you and you are turned to face me, face on the pillow and hair spread around, I take a chance and stare at you, amazed in love and afraid that you might open your eyes and have the daylights scared out of you. But maybe with the daylights gone youd see how much my chest and head implode for you, their voices trapped inside like unborn children fearing they will never see the light of day. The opening in the wall now dimly glows its rainy blue and gray. I tie my shoes and go downstairs to put the coee on. Ron Padgett grew up in Oklahoma and has lived mostly in New York City since he went there in 1960 to attend Columbia, with stays in Paris, South Carolina, and Vermont. Although a memoirist and translator, most of his writing since 1957 has been poetry. He is a happy grandfather.
Fifty years of poems and wry insight celebrating one of the most dynamic careers in twentieth century American poetry.

The work of Stefano Cerio ts into one of the most signicant and distinctive areas in Italian photography.

Copper Canyon Press Rilke: New Poems


Rainer Maria Rilke
Translated by Joseph Cadora Introduction by Robert Hass
Through him resounds the music of the universe.Herman Hesse Rainer Maria Rilke is one of the worlds best-selling poets, and New Poems contains many of his most iconic pieces. Throughout, Rilke is obsessed with shapes and dierent layers of physical containmentfrom an image held in a panthers eye to a cathedral window. Translator Joseph Cadora has created the denitive English-language version through meticulous faithfulness to Rilkes German and insightful commentary on each of the four-hundred-plus poems. As Cadora said in an interview, I tried to stay true to the vision of Rilke that would invite the reader into his world, not mine. Bilingual, with an introduction by Robert Hass. The Panther From endless passing of the bars his gaze has weariedthere is no more it can hold. There seem to be a thousand bars always, and past those thousand bars there is no world. The soft pad of his brawny, rippling pace turns itself in a tightening circle till, like a mighty dance around a tiny space, it centers a numb but still enormous will. But at times the shades of his pupils rise, grasping an image he cannot resist; through his tense, unmoving limbs it ies, and within his heart it ceases to exist. Rainer Maria Rilke (18751926) is one of the worlds most beloved poets. Working at the cusp of the century, Rilke bridged the gap between traditional and modernist poetics. Born in Prague, Rilke traveled widely across Europe and Egypt, and lived for many years in Paris. Joseph Cadora is a guitarist, writer, and translator. He lives in Berkeley, California.
The denitive bilingual version of Rainer Maria Rilkes New Poemsfaithful to the original German, with insightful commentary on every poem. Essential.

Copper Canyon Press fungus skull eye wing: Selected Poems of Alfonso DAquino
Alfonso DAquino
Translated by Forrest Gander
Alfonso DAquino was raised by his grandmother in an old house attached to a colonial convent in Coyoacn, Mexico. He never met his parents. Books were his best friends from an early age. Often solitary, he spent many afternoons at a small aquarium in the nearby town of San ngel, fascinated then as now by the non-human.Forrest Gander, from the introduction fungus skull eye wing is a book of shifting subjectivity and liquid perspective, of surrealist tradition and Butoh-like gestures. The text irts with the margins of the rational, perception, and the subjective mind. The speaker morphs into what he observes; speech comes alive while a plant becomes speech. Impeccably translated from Spanish by award-winning poet Forrest Gander in a bilingual edition. From Its Verbs Forked Tongue: Its verbs forked tongue Transforms transnominates translucent line the viper the verb translades its shadow Tattoo freak from rows of spots a star transudes a language of scales . . . Alfonso DAquino is an editor, poetry instructor, snake handler, and author of six books. He was born in Mexico City in 1959 and currently lives in Cuernavaca, Mexico. His poetry is included in the landmark anthology Reversible Monuments: Contemporary Mexican Poetry. Forrest Gander is a poet, translator, and professor at Brown University. His books have been named nalists for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

Copper Canyon Press Pinholes in the Night


Essential Poems from Latin America

Selected by Ral Zurita


Edited by Forrest Gander
When we read a book we put it in front of our eyes, not behind them, which is to say, more or less, that we open ourselves to a dimension of our future. Ral Zurita, from the introduction This intensely focused bilingual anthology pinpoints the heart of Latin American self-identication. In selecting these fteen essential poems, Chilean poet Ral Zurita was guided by the question, What poem, had it not been written, would have rendered the author another author and Latin American poetry something else? This extraordinary gathering of talent from Jorge Luis Borges and Pablo Neruda to Ernesto Cardenal and Csar Vallejospans the twentieth century. From The Heights of Macchu Picchu by Pablo Neruda: How many times in the wintry streets of a city or in a bus or a boat at dusk, or in the deepest loneliness, a night of revelry beneath the sound of shadows and bells, in the very grotto of human pleasure Ive tried to stop and seek the eternal unfathomable lode that I touched before on stone or in the lightning unleashed by a kiss . . . Ral Zurita, winner of the Chilean National Prize for Literature, survived arrest and torture during Augusto Pinochets dictatorship. He co-founded CADA (Colectivo de accin de arte), and has created huge poetic art pieces, including poems carved into clis that can only be read from the sky. Forrest Gander is a poet, translator, and professor at Brown University. His books have been named nalists for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
One of the greatest living Latin American poets compiles and introduces an essential anthology.

Copper Canyon Press Dear Life


Dennis ODriscoll
Dennis ODriscoll has produced an extraordinary body of work. . . . Some of his poems have already achieved the status of classics.Poetry Ireland Review [One] of the most interesting poets now writing in English. ODriscolls poetry has the rare virtue of making us feel that most other poets are forcing things a little, striving for eect. He writes directly, naturally, about the emotions that are closest to us and, for that very reason, go unobserved: how we actually feel about work and possessions and aging.Slate Irish poet Dennis ODriscolls new poems engage with contemporary issues the internet era, the compensation culture, global warmingas well as the timeless topics of working and aging, loving and dying, God and Mammon. His poems give voice to twenty-rst century Western attitudes towards religion, while the ambitious title-sequence attempts a rigorous exploration of the purpose of human life. From Valentine: Back in hospital on this fateful date, but to no complications for once, I am discharged in good time to light a candle on the kitchen table, decant your Valentines glass of sparkling wine, sear the steak, saut the onions, bake potatoes till their paunchy waistcoats loosen, launch the gravy boat on its salt voyage, let mushrooms set sail on melting butter . . . Dennis ODriscoll (19542012) died suddenly on Christmas Eve, 2012. He was the author of nine collections of poetry as well as a book of interviews with Seamus Heaney, Stepping Stones. Poetry Review famouslyand deservedlycalled ODriscoll one of the best-read men in the Western world.

Copper Canyon Press Who Said


Jennifer Michael Hecht

Jennifer Michael Hecht writes delightfully tricky poems that wildly bend the sense of our language.Billy Collins, former US Poet Laureate Hechts rhymes are irregular, gymnastic, pointed, and fun; shes found what so many would-be populists seek, an idiom entirely conversational yet able to sustain unexpected ideas.The Believer Who Said is a meditation on lifes profound questions told through playful engagement with iconic poems and lyrics. Jennifer Michael Hechts book is a magic echo chamber wherein great poems come back to us, altered to t the concerns of our moment. This wildly interpretive treatment of Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, and the rock band Nirvana is original, occasionally hilarious, and always moving. From Not Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening: Promises to keep, was a lie, he had nothing. Through the woods. Over the river and into the pain. It is an addicts talk of quitting as shes smacking at a vein. He was always going into the woods. It was he who wrote, The only way around is through. Youd think a shrink, but no, a poet. He saw the woods and knew. The forest is the one that holds promises. The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, they ll with a quiet snow. Miles are traveled as we sleep. He steers his horse o the road. Among the trees now, the blizzard is a dusting. Holes in the canopy make columns of snowstorm, lit from above. His little horse thinks it is queer. They go deeper, sky gets darker. Its the darkest night of the year . . . Jennifer Michael Hecht is the author of several nonction titles, most recently The Happiness Myth (HarperOne). She teaches at The New School and lives in the BoCoCa neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.
Jennifer Michael Hecht repurposes texts and creates a magic echo chamber, bringing the lines and lyrics of long-gone friends to the table.

Copper Canyon Press King Me


Roger Reeves

From a horse witnessing the lynching of Emmett Till to Mikhail Bulgakov chronicling the forced famines in Poland in the 1930s, King Me examines the erotics of care and the place of song, elegy, and praise as testaments to those moments. As Roger Reeves said in an interview, While writing King Me, I became very interested in the mythology of king, the one who is sacriced at the end of the harvest season. . . . For me, the myth manifests in the killing of young black men, Emmett Till, and in the ways America deems young, black male bodies as expendableJean Michel Basquiat, Mike Tyson, Jack Johnson. These are the young kings whom we love to killover and over again. From Some Young Kings: The hummingbirds inside my chest, with their needle-nosed pliers for tongues and hammer-heavy wings, have left a mess of ticks in my lungs and a punctured lullaby in my throat. Little boy blue come blow your horn. The cows in the meadow. And Dorothys alone in the corn with Jack, his black ngers, the brass of his lips, the half-moons of his ngernails clicking along her legs until she howls Charlie Parker. Charlie Parker. Charlie Parker . . . Roger Reeves earned his MFA from the James A. Michener Center for Creative Writing and his PhD from the University of Texas. His poems have appeared in Poetry, American Poetry Review, and Boston Review. He teaches at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
In this riveting debut, Roger Reeves argues that black history is human history, and the suffering belongs to all of us.

Copper Canyon Press Debt to the Bone-Eating Snotower


Sarah Lindsay
Lindsays delight in imaginary and unknown worlds, her compulsion to write exactly what she doesnt know, removes her poems completely from the tired confessional anecdotalism of so much narrative poetry.Poetry In her fourth collection of poetry, National Book Award nalist and Lannan Fellowship winner Sarah Lindsay presents a lyric menagerie of bizarrely imagined personae and historic gures revealing their long-held secrets, alongside surprising scientic subjects and discoveries layered into quirky, dark-edged, sometimes macabre, always intimate and graceful poems. Imbued with a buoying sense of respect for the dierent, the unexpected, and the challenging, Lindsays poems are alive with wonder. And when asked the obvious question about the title, you can say, A boneeating snotower is the inelegant slang for the worm-like creature, Osedax mucooris, that feeds on the carcasses of minke whales in the North Sea. From Without Warning: Elizabeth Bishop leaned on a table, it cracked, both fell to the oor. A gesture gone sadly awry. This was close to fact and quickly became symbolic, bound to occur in Florida, where she was surrounded by rotting abundance and greedy insects. One moment a laughing smile, a graceful hand alighting on solid furniture, a casual shift of weight, the next, undignied splayed legs. The shell of the table proved to be stued with termite eggs . . . Sarah Lindsay graduated from St. Olaf College and holds an MFA from UNC Greensboro. She currently works as a copy editor for Pace Communications.

Kerry James Evans

Drawing upon Kerry James Evanss experience in the military, Bangalore speaks from the position of a natural class warrior who came of age desperately poor in some of the most hardscrabble parts of our country. Whether highlighting a barracks argument about gays in the military or contemplating pent-up eros, the poems are experientially political in the best sense. From Lilacs and Razor Wire: Bent over in a folding chair, my arm a rag of oil, I scrape the carbon from my M-16 with a pipe cleaner here in the armory named after a young Colonel who hanged himself. No one sitting here really knows whether or not the Colonel was a homosexual. I bring up my mother-in-law, who is. Outside the window the local convicts have decided to mow down the lilacs blossoming along the roadside. We go back to talking about homosexuals and homosexuality, and I say: We are all a little gay, which lands me on the oor in a wrestling position . . . Kerry James Evans served six years in the Army National Guard as a combat engineer. He received his MFA in creative writing from Southern Illinois UniversityCarbondale, and is enrolled in the PhD program in EnglishCreative Writing from Florida State University. He lives in Tallahassee, Florida.

James Greer
Art by Robert Pollard

James Greer is one of the nimblest and most multilayered American ction writers.Dennis Cooper, author of Ugly Man James Greer writes within the grand tradition of American postmodern, pessimistic, philosophic geniuses. . . . He unites sly humor, erudition, and a certain classical cast of mind, as aware of Heraclitus as he is of Teenage Fanclub. These stories are remarkable. Theyre also a total freaking blast. Mathew Specktor, author of American Dream Machine, senior editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books Everything Flows is the rst collection of short ction by novelist, screenwriter, and musician James Greer. Greer mixes anachronistic pseudo-history and unserious/serious digressions into pop culture, pop physics, pop philosophy, and pop music, to arrive at something both universal in scope and intensely personal, twisting language into sometimes-strange shapes to devise new ways of looking at familiar things. Everything Flows also features color collages by Guided by Voices frontman Robert Pollard. Besides being known as one of underground musics most prolic songwriters, Pollards irrepressible creativity has been an o-thecharts voice for a love-struck generation. James Greer is the author of the novels Articial Light (Little House on the Bowery/Akashic Books, 2006) and The Failure (Akashic Books, 2010), and the nonction book Guided By Voices: A Brief History (Grove Press, 2005).

Curbside Splendor Publishing Kiss As Many Women As You Can


Franki Elliot
Art by Shawn Stucky
The typewriter idea got my attention, but the writing kept me hooked. Frankis stories have soul and wit, but are also made of real esh and blood. Drew Dernavich, cartoonist for The New Yorker Franki Elliots creative writing experiment is proving to be a unique blend of performance art, public art, literature, and text-based multimedia. L.A. Weekly Sometimes I run across a poem that makes me second guess my opinion on poetry. It could be a line in the poem that impresses me. Or a person in the poem that makes me wonder what hed be like in another situation. Or a relationship that makes me want to know if it worked out. Or a memory I have while reading the poem. For me, Piano Rats by Franki Elliot had all of the above. Chicago Tribune Kiss As Many Women As You Can presents new Franki Elliot typewriter stories in an art book brimming with full-color detachable postcards adorned with Chicagoan Shawn Stuckys ethereal paintings. Stuckys work has been shown across the United States and Europe, most notably at Aldo Castillo Gallery, Chicago (2009); Ferreira Projects, London (2008); and Sundlaugin (the recording studio of Sigur Rs) in Mosfellsbr, Iceland (2007). Franki Elliot is a music industry professional making a name for herself by crafting typewritten stories for people upon the suggestion of a word or phrase, as covered by L.A. Weekly and Flavorpill. Curbside Splendor published her rst book Piano Rats to critical acclaim.
An art book featuring typewriter stories by twenty-something Los Angeles writer Franki Elliot alongside stylized paintings by Chicago artist Shawn Stucky.

Democracy brought both rewards and new struggles. A black middle class rapidly emerged, fostering a frenzied aspirational spirit amongst the poorer urban classes.

Robert Coover has published fourteen novels, three short story collections, and a collection of plays since The Origin of the Brunists received the William Faulkner Foundation First Novel Award in 1966.

The Gifts of the State and Other Stories: Afghan Writers Under Thirty radically reshapes our idea of Afghanistan as a place of unquestioning religiosity, brutal sexism, and anti-American and Russian resistance. Rather, employing stark naturalism and surrealistic and genre elements, these writers bravely depict Westernstyled women in former Russian apartments and men obsessed with fantasies based on Mickey Spillane novels. Adam Klein is the author of story collection The Medicine Burns, the novel Tiny Ladies, and the artist monograph Jerome: After the Pageant. His work has appeared in Bomb, the New York Times At War Blog, and the Hungton Post.

Dzanc Books Sankya


Zakhar Prilepin
Translated by Jeff Parker and Mariya Gusev

The novel is so vivid that it seems to be almost extremist. Komsomolskaya Pravda Sankya is an examination of the elements of rebellion and protest. The novel, drawing on Zakhar Prilepins own experiences, follows Sasha (whose grandmother calls him Sankya), a member of an extremist revolutionary group, as he tests the elemental force of the protest movement in Russia and in himself. Sankya faces a stark choice in the novels climax: whether to return to the villages (the unseen Russia) and accept the political fates or to engage the authorities in open rebellion. Originally published in 2006, Sankya is even more relevant today as a prism through which to view the recent large-scale actions against Vladimir Putin. It is Prilepins rst novel and is widely considered his best. Zakhar Prilepin, born near Ryazan in 1975, lives in Nizhny Novgorod where he is the regional editor of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta. Prilepin had a varied life before dedicating himself to writing, spending time as a student, laborer, journalist, and soldier, serving with the Special Forces in Chechnya.

Warped the iron until it is curved now to exactly us, ts the shape that lies in us two embracing. A line that runs from where our faces meet, the way we lay our necks on each other, the cut of our embraced torsos, tempered hot iron hips, twine of legs.

Cartilage and Skin has it all: a fast-paced narrative, cool language, downtrodden characters, and addictive intrigue. Rizza writes with dark high-energy and philosophical air about his nervous anti-hero on a self-destructive quest. The story shifts with every page, never losing momentum, always surprising us. Fascinating, ferocious reading.Deb Olin Unferth, in awarding the Starcherone Innovative Fiction Prize An urban, brainy thriller that keeps us turning pages via a narrator both seductive and strange and a plot that ever shifts back on itself.

Enchanted Lion Books Ballad


Blexbolex

Ballad is a story. It is also a narrative song, and like all great stories, it deepens with each retelling. This image-based story builds page by page, over seven rounds or sequences. The initial round consists of three images: the beginning: school; the middle: the path; and the end: home. The next round builds upon the rst, and here we have: school, the street, the path, the forest, and home. The next ve sequences take up this same story, but with new words and images integrated each time, while repeating the images and words from earlier rounds. Thus the story quickly becomes enormous, as the number of new images nearly doubles with each round. The story that Ballad tells plays with the stories that we make up and tell ourselves as we move through the world. Here we are given a childs encounter with the world as he returns home from school each day, and we see how a childs own small world can suddenly become enormous. The story that is told here is as old as the world. It happens every day. Blexbolex is a bold and highly talented graphic artist. In addition to creating numerous comics, he has been internationally acclaimed for his books Seasons, which was selected as a 2012 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and People, which received the prestigious Goldene Letter Award in 2009 for Best Book Design throughout the World.

Enigma Books Indochina and Vietnam


The Thirty-ve Year War, 19401975

Robert Miller and Dennis Wainstock

The Indochina and Vietnam Wars followed one another over thirty-ve years, from 1940 to 1975, yet these two closely related conicts are usually treated separately. This book seeks to tell the story of those wars as a single historical event. Within days of Frances defeat by Nazi Germany and Japans military expansion into Southeast Asia in July 1940, the United States became involved in Indochina. Most histories quickly mention the colonial past, usually limited to the battle of Dien Bien Phu, to concentrate exclusively on the American war. A selection of published sources explains the context and the development of the long war while providing an overview of Frances imprint on Indochina and Vietnam. The question Why were we in Vietnam? comes up regularly regarding the root causes for the ultimate deployment of over ve hundred thousand US troops, most of them conscripts, into a virtually unknown land. When France left Indochina in 1954 it became an American problem. Weeks before the murder of John F. Kennedy came the overthrow of Ngo Dinh Diem and the escalation of the war in 196568. Finally, Richard Nixon, after extending the war into Cambodia, enacted both the Vietnamization process and negotiations in Paris between Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho, until the nal act in April 1975, when the US embassy rooftop with the last helicopter taking o was ashed around the world as the grand nale to the war.

A comprehensive, easy-to-read, and objective history of the Indochina and Vietnam wars for the general reader and undergraduate students.

Etruscan Press An Archaeology of Yearning


Bruce Mills

Digging into vivid moments within the metaphor of archaeology, Bruce Millss remarkable memoir maps the artifacts of life as a father of a boy with autism, and as a boy himself growing up in rural Iowa. An Archaeology of Yearning is not ultimately about autism; instead it reaches into the world of human connection and illuminates how storytelling and an understanding of language keep that connection alive. On some nights, I awake as if in a cave and think of the future. Mary and I will exist as memories: a quick glimpse of arms reaching toward anothers shoulders or face, an image of a hand upon a book, the scent of our bodies after the sweat of sleep, the tone of our young and old voices calling our daughter or son from distant rooms or down a stair. Eventually I arrive on the image of my son, in some new home. No matter how much I have written or catalogued or kept in images, I know that the site of his life and mine will inevitably remain fragments and that only a visitor can bring us to life. Bruce Mills has published scholarly books and articles on nineteenth-century American writings and co-edited a collection of essays by siblings of those on the autism spectrum. His creative nonction has appeared in the Georgia Review and New England Review. He teaches in the English department at Kalamazoo College.

The moving story of a fathers bond with his autistic son embodies powerful themes of family relationships and human connections.

The Feminist Press at CUNY Ghostbelly


Elizabeth Heineman

What an amazing story. . . . I applaud you for staying honest with yourself and listening to your feelings and what you needed to do to love and grieve and remember your son.comment on Elizabeth Heinemans Salon article, My Stillborn Childs Life after Death Everyone loves to blame a mother for making the wrong choices, and Elizabeth Heineman makes plenty of unpopular ones: being of advanced maternal age, having a home birth, using a midwife, communing with her dead baby. In Ghostbelly, Heinemans brave, disarming, and stunning memoir, she recounts her indescribable grief after delivering a stillborn son, her shocking and intimate bonding with the babys body before the burial, and the impossible task of saying goodbye. If Elizabeth McCrackens memoir opened the door for discussions about stillbirthwhich account for one in 160 pregnancies in the United States Heineman provides a necessary continuation on the topic. While motherhood remains a stronghold as a topic de jour in the media, there continue to be gaps in the newsworthy stories. Ghostbelly tells an unexpected, but not uncommon, tale of the space that one can occupy when birth and death are combined. Elizabeth Heineman is a professor of history and gender, womens, and sexuality studies at the University of Iowa. Her published works include Before Porn Was Legal, Sexual Violence in Conict Zones, and What Dierence Does a Husband Make? She lives in Iowa City, Iowa.
You may not think you have assumptions about motherhood and grief, but you do. And this book will shatter them.

The Feminist Press at CUNY Testo Junkie


Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era

Beatriz Preciado
Translated by Bruce Benderson
What constitutes a real man or woman in the twenty-rst century? Since birth control pills, erectile dysfunction remedies, and factory-made testosterone and estrogen were developed, biology is denitely no longer destiny. In this penetrating analysis of gender, Beatriz Preciado shows the ways in which the synthesis of hormones since the 1950s has fundamentally changed how gender and sexual identity are formulated, and how the pharmaceutical and pornography industries are in the business of creating desire. This riveting continuation of Michel Foucaults The History of Sexuality also includes Preciados diaristic account of her own use of testosterone every day for one year, and its mesmerizing impact on her body as well as her imagination. Beatriz Preciado has become one of the leading thinkers in the study of gender and sexuality. She is currently a professor of political history of the body, gender theory, and history of performance at Universit Paris VIII. She received her PhD in the theory of architecture at Princeton University, and a master of philosophy and contemporary theory of gender at the New School for Social Research in New York.
The most visionary book on gender and sexuality today.

Fence Books the meatgirl whatever


Kristin Hatch

Winner of the National Poetry Series. The poems in Kristin Hatchs debut collection ooze with the viscus of shattered reality. Bodily, almost animalistic, they irt with apocalypse, accumulate like diary entries from a madmans kitchen where knife blades hover near the jugular. This is a documentary, writes K. Silem Mohammad, who selected this book for the National Poetry Series, or these poems are promotional cartoon avatars, installations of a longer, live-action Emmy-winning series in which glee and melancholy, revulsion and beauty, lyric and satire, living esh and chopped-up meat combine in sinister gurlesque fantasia. A terrifying and necessary rst book. From annunciation: bent, he talked me through all my tied, big like i was kansas or a diagram sketched with arrows pointing to my special parts with trick and murder spelled out in clean, legible type. his documentary voice uncled at my ankles. my legs folded back for him & hed say my mouth was a hauntbag. he could take the willows from my lungs. i hated him but i begged for it in the underhang & the bad would bang into bird shapes & every time my ugly became less ugly, ours. for a while, the mirrors were too thick with it to see through. after he left, i picked at my at my toes & tried to get ancient. stungdumb, & gnarled against that autumn, i sat barefoot to imagine his arm hairall of it shuttering like wheat in a stormeldfeatherlight little marysa legless army, aghast at god & beginning to show. Kristin Hatch has an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop. Her poems have appeared in various journals including Black Warrior Review, Colorado Review, and Indiana Review. Her chapbook, through the hour glass, is forthcoming from CutBank and is about the soap opera Days of Our Lives.
Poems of a distortional humanity. Poems with teeth, scraping furrows into the imagination, evoking the inferno of the ordinary.

Feral House Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia


Varg Vikernes
This book is from one the most controversial musicians of all time and the mastermind of the notorious black metal band Burzum. Convicted in 1994 of the murder of bandmate Euronymous, Varg Vikernes has since spent fteen years in prison studying the traditions and beliefs of the ancient Scandinavians and their inuence on modern Europeans. That research has culminated in a book in which the author challenges many widely held views of contemporary culture and its history. Known as a leading character from the best-selling Feral House book Lords of Chaos, and soon to be further recognized by a coming feature lm of the same name, Vikerness passion and in-depth text provides an absorbing insight into the thoughts and beliefs of this most infamous of musicians. Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia will be of interest not only to black metal and Burzum fans, but also to those with an interest in Norse mythology or European history and contemporary social commentators.
The notorious Varg Vikernes explores pre-Christian Scandinavian folklore and how it intersects with his own black metal beliefs.

Feral House Y-Y!


Girls of 60s French Pop Music

Jean-Emmanuel Deluxe
Foreword by Lio
Y-Y is a delightful style of pop music featuring young female singers that inuenced France and many other countries, as says Susan Sontag, with its particular camp style throughout the 1960s. Y-Y pop had secondary explosions in the 1970s and 1990s in Japan and Europe through the likes of Lio (who provides this books foreword), and in the United States through singers like April March, whose Y-Y number Chick Habit was heard in the Quentin Tarantino lm Death Proof. Interest in Y-Y revived again recently during the fth season of the megapopular television series Mad Men, when Don Drapers young, sexy wife sang the Y-Y number Zou Bisou Bisou, originally made famous in the 1960s by blonde actress Gillian Hills. The most famous Y-Y practitioners include the glamorous Sylvie Vartan (married to rock star Johnny Hallyday), French lolita France Gall, beautiful actresses Brigitte Bardot and Chantal Goya, and the statuesque Franoise Hardy. This collection by French pop music expert Jean-Emmanuel Deluxe includes many interviews with the original singers and producers, visual excerpts of record covers, both 45s and LPs, and remarkable excerpts from a childrens fan diary of the period. Y-Y means Yeah Yeah and many music lovers are ready for an immersion in this beloved but little-known genre.

Feral House Financial Vipers of Venice


Alchemical Money, Magical Physics, and Banking in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

Joseph P. Farrell
In this sequel to Joseph P. Farrells Babylons Banksters, the banksters have moved from Mesopotamia via Rome to Venice. There, they have manipulated popes and bullion prices, clipped coins, sacked Constantinople, destroyed rival Florence, waged war, burned heretics, and suppressed hidden secrets threatening their nancial supremacy . . . until Giordano Bruno and Christopher Columbus broke the banking cartels control of information and bullion. We might wonderwith some justicationhow an excursion into such magical mediaeval matters could possibly shed light on the contemporary debate on nance, commerce, credit, and debt taking place around the world. As will be seen in these pages, the modern global economy, with its bonds, annuities, bills of exchange, alchemical paper at money, bullion, wage-slavery, national debts, private central banking, stock brokerages, and commodities exchanges, in a sense began in the Middle Ages, for all these institutions began for quite perceptible and specic reasons during that time. The centerpiece in this debate is of course money: what, and who, does it really represent? And how did it manage to begin as a purely metaphysical phenomenon, with deep ties to a cosmological and indeed topological and alchemical metaphor of the physical medium, thence to transmute itself into the conception that money is bullion, and thence once again to transmute itself back into a purely metaphysical construct of credit and debt denominated on tokens of paper?

Feral House Larceny Games


Sports Gambling, Game Fixing and the FBI

Brian Tuohy

The NFL is a $10 billion-a-year business with prominent government and corporate tiesCBS, NBC/GE, Disney/ESPN, and FOX, to name a few. As the late broadcaster Howard Cosell wrote in 1985, The NFL, you see, monitors and collects just about everything that is written about it in newspapers and magazines and said about it on radio and television. . . . Like the CIA and the FBI, the NFL has its own enemies listand I got the distinct impression that I was at the top of it. Although sports gambling is seen as a victimless crime, 99 percent of all sports gambling in the United States is done illegally, its untold billions of dollars directly handed by the mob. It is their top money maker, followed closely by loan sharking activities that often accompany gamblers who cannot pay their bookies in time. When games are xed today, the money wagered on rigged contests is tracked through these mob-backed bookmakers. Much of the information in this book is taken directly from FBI case les obtained through multiple Freedom of Information Act requests. The FBI held over four hundred les directly related to sports bribery, which is the legal term for game xing and/or point shaving. These covered everything from horse racing to boxing to college athletic events to the NFL, NBA, and MLB (with a notable exception of the NHL). The les are quoted directly. This is Brian Tuohys second book on illegal game xing.

Social design spans all areas of design that support a sustainable lifestyle and propose alternatives to the current social and economic systems: projects that are good for people, planet, and prot. In the last ve years, the concept has become a focus of designers and corporate businesses worldwide. In the rst chapter, this book explains in detail what social design is and how to create projects according to its standards and principles. The content of the second chapter is categorized according to ve themesthe most important areas that social design currently relates to: Water, Food, Well-being, Waste, and Energy. Combining theory with practice, designs that have been successfully completed are shown here to set an example. They vary from architecture, interior design, and product design to fashion, art, graphic design, and photography. Interviews with social designers and background articles with other experts shed more light on these areas and the importance of social design. The third and last chapter provides many resources for further exploration of the subject. Given that there is very little published material about social design from a holistic and interdisciplinary angle, this book operates not only as a richly illustrated reference but also as catalyst for a design ow and mentality with great potential and far-reaching impact.
An accessible explanation of the rapidly emerging discipline of social design with examples from various creative disciplines and theoretical expert articles.

The Kunsthal in Rotterdam proudly hosted Arne Quinzes rst exhibition in the Netherlands: My Secret Garden. His rst large-scale indoor project consisted of a wooden labyrinth that pushed the visitors towards participation, stimulating them to reect on their inner selves. Light and music intensied the experience. The electronic music duo Vive la Fte produced specic tones and soundscapes for the exhibition. Simultaneously, in the Belgian coastal town Ostend, his permanent installation Rock Strangers was put into place. A sentiment of estrangement is generated by the monumental sculptures, due to their size and electric orange color, while they also evoke curiosity and astonishment. This installation intends to stimulate openness and bring dierent views and groups in society to the forefront. Quinze invited author Saskia de Coster for a unique project. In an encounter between two artists, de Coster immersed herself in Quinzes work. She created a totally new work of ctionwhich is included in the booksas well as a documentary for each project. The aim was multidirectional: not only to use Quinzes work as a door to cover new artistic territories, but also to let the new words and images inuence and bring to life the spatial installations. The documentaries, which are also included in the boxed book set, include various in-depth interviews and fascinating images of the making of these bold endeavors. The viewer gets a front-row look at the working process of both artists and will gain an intense experience of the works of art themselves.

From monarch butteries to earthworms, Creepy Crawlies and the Scientic Method, Second Edition shows teachers and parents how to use bugs and other creatures to inspire in kids a passionate enthusiasm for living things and a love of studentled scientic inquiry.

The new edition includes four new insect species along with an increased emphasis on conservation and preserving natural habitats. Most butteries are charismatic, but choosing which ones to include in this 2nd edition was easy. I chose Eastern black swallowtails because theyre dramatically big, common, easy to attract, [and] easy to raise. I dont personally know of another buttery thats so convenient to study, as well as beautiful. They lay their eggs in our garden every year, whether we want them to or not!

Gallic Books
London, England

Gallic Books is home to the best of French writing in English. Founded by Jane Aitken, working with fellow Francophile and ex-Random House colleague Pilar Webb, we launched our rst titles in 2007. In the six years since, English-speaking readers have become far more interested in foreignlanguage authors, and Gallic has been at the heart of the publishing trend fullling that demand for books in translation. Gallic titles are wonderfully French and, even more importantly, good reads with universal appeal. And we have some brilliant books coming up next year. Highlights include the award-winning and Waterstones Book Club choice The Presidents Hat by Antoine Laurain, which, set in the 1980s, is the story of the mysterious power residing in a hat owned by Franois Mitterrand; in The Suicide Shop by Jean Teul, business is brisk at the futuristic store, until happiness threatens to ruin everything . . . We are also launching two historical crime series: The Nicolas Le Floch Investigations by JeanFranois Parot, set in eighteenth-century Paris, and The Napoleonic Murders from Armand Cabasson.

In Napoleon Bonapartes novella, triumphant soldier Clisson turns his back on worldly success. He falls in love and marries Eugnie, and they live the simple life until Clisson is called back into battle.

Gentle Path Press Always Turned On


Facing Sex Addiction in the Digital Age

Robert Weiss, MSW, and Jennifer P. Schneider, MD, PhD


Technology has signicantly changed our world. Sexual imagery and encounters can now be accessed anywhere, anytime, using portable electronic devices. Users can generate a stream of graphic pornography, a wide variety of virtual sexual activities, and casual, anonymous, or paid-for sexual encounters with a click or a tap. Simply put, we have greater access to highly stimulating sexual content, and potential sexual partners, with much less built-in accountability. Porn addicts are especially vulnerable to the lure of digital technology and the seemingly endless array of stimulation it provides. Research suggests that cyber-porn addicts spend at least eleven or twelve hours per week online viewing porn. Today, all forms of sex addiction are technology drivenfrom porn websites to webcams to casual sex hook-up apps found on smartphones. Sex addicts organize their lives around the pursuit of sexual activity with self or others, spending inordinate amounts of time viewing and masturbating to porn or planning, pursuing, and engaging in sex acts. At the same time, they neglect important relationships, work, and personal responsibilities. Overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame, and remorse invade when the acting out ends. While its complicated, recovery is possible. Always Turned On shows readers how to turn those temptations o while providing practical long-term solutions for recovery. Robert Weiss, MSW, is a therapist, international speaker, and regular blogger on Psych Central and the Hungton Post. Jennifer P. Schneider, MD, PhD, is a therapist, international speaker, and the author of nine books.

Of all the worlds great religious symbols, the Cross is the most widespread and the most enduring.

Serena Fasss passion to follow her path is palpable as you turn the pages.David Verey, chairman of the Tate Gallery Trustees (19982004), chairman of the Art Fund (2004) Serena Fass has compiled a collection of many important and beautiful representations of the Cross, spanning dierent strands of the Christian faith from the earliest Christians in Pompeii to the present day, and criss-crossing the globe from Norway to Zimbabwe and Peru to Australia. Works are illustrated in a variety of media, including architecture, painting, sculpture, ivories, textiles, metalwork, and jewelry, as well as examples of the Cross manifest in nature.

Voices of Arabia
Through the Eyes of the Greatest Travellers

Eid Al-Yahya, PhD


Arabias life before the oil boom years is probably best known to international audiences through the works of Wilfred Thesiger, the remarkable British explorer famous for his narrative and photography of the Empty Quarter. But the account from the perspective of his Arab traveling companions, Bin Kabina, Bin Kabisha, and others, has never been told. Now in their eighties, these old-timers are interviewed in this important new work, and the material is set down so future generations need not lose sight of their bedouin roots. Surprising and enchanting by turns, these anecdotes of life growing up in tents where now the giant skyscrapers stand paint a picture of a beautiful and vastly dierent vanished Arabia.

Savelyev is a professional in a good sense: his language consists of energetic short sentences, abundance of well-chosen details, and recurrent juxtaposition of the ctional and the documentary.Ex Libris The novel is written masterfully, aptly phrased and rich in interesting details; it will look good in Volume One of his Collected Works a couple of decades from now.Asha Mars symbolizes freedom and a daring goal, dierent for each character. One goes to America to break away from the humdrum provincial life. Other protagonists launch a campaign against a dishonest airline exploiting peoples fear of ying by promising false guarantees of safety, for an extra price. The protest peters out after the arrests, sobering the young peoples enthusiasm. Reports of actual plane crashes accompany the narrative, providing a frightening backdrop. New heroes of our times: confused and disillusioned young Russians growing up in conditions of wild capitalism and political stagnation. Throughout the novel reports of actual airplane crushes interfere matterof-factly into the narrative, providing a frightening a refrain to the story and symbolically in tune with the characters personal moral downfalls. The Martian theme is crowned by the seventy-ve-year-old ex-cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkovas letter to President Putin suggesting that she should be sent to Mars on a one-way mission for the glory of her homeland. Twenty-eight-year-old Igor Savelyev won many literary prizes for his masterful prose based on brilliant counterpoints. His stories have been translated into many languages.
Disillusioned young Russians whose growing up coincided with the wild capitalism of the 1990s followed by Vladimir Putins iron rule.

Jeffrey Lewis
He [Lewis] has been painstakingly, novel by novel, constructing an oeuvre that puts him in the ranks of the countrys must-read authors.Peter Davis, author and Academy Awardwinning director In Mexico City, the Holy Oce of the Inquisition holds sway over the people. Fray Alonso, its most zealous advocate, awaits promotion and passage to Spain but, outmaneuvered by his rivals, he is instead sent north through the country, in search of heretics to bring before the tribunal. What appears at rst to be a futile journey becomes a great test of faith, as Alonso forms an unusual connection with his captured heretic. The bond between them forces Alonso to question every element of the faith and doctrine he has held so dear. Alonsos diary follows the priest and his captive as they come across questions of faith, love, and morality, and what it is to liveand diein a state of grace. Interwoven with Alonsos story is that of the Marranos and their role not only in New Spain, as Mexico was then known, but in the early Jewish settlements in California. Jerey Lewis is the author of Meritocracy: A Love Story, The Conference of the Birds, Theme Song for an Old Show, and Adam the Kingfour novels that comprise The Meritocracy Quartet, to be published as one volume in 2013 by Hausand Berlin Cantata. He has twice been the recipient of the Independent Publishers Gold Medals for Literary Fiction and has won two Emmys and the Writers Guild Award for his work as a writer and producer on the critically acclaimed television series Hill Street Blues.

Having introduced an unprecedented realism to American television through his work as a writer and producer on Hill Street Blueswork which earned him two Emmys and a Writers Guild AwardJerey Lewiss rich and complex relationship with American culture, upon which his writing has drawn deeply, required a new kind of telling. In an ambitious departure, Lewis conceived a series of four novels, each of which would follow the leaders of American culture through a decade of their lives. In so doing it would trace the very substance of Americas contemporary history through its unfolding. The series is a sweeping meditation on his generation and where it has led America, from the sixties to the turn of the century. For the rst time the four interlinking novelsMeritocracy: A Love Story, The Conference of the Birds, Theme Song for an Old Show, and Adam the Kingare published in a single volume. Set over four decades against the backdrop of changing American landscape, Lewiss characters sweep in and out of the narrative, reecting the passage of time and the rise of dierent social-cultural ideals and inuences. The four novels are a testament to Americas changing personality, each seeking to dene it for itself. For America is the central character and the quartet is the song of one generation passing through it, from the tragedy of wealth and potential to the search for meaning in a chaotic world and the highs and lows of celebrity. Each book is a life and a death, each a new start and a nality. The Meritocracy Quartet is a breathtaking panorama and an expression of how and why, but more than this, it is a story beautifully told.
The Meritocracy Quartet comprises Jeffrey Lewiss four interlinking novels written between 2005 and 2008, published in a single volume for the rst time.

Haus Publishing A Matter of Time


Alex Capus
Translated by John Brownjohn
Beautifully rendered in John Brownjohns translation . . . [a] magnicent novel. Giles Foden, author of The Last King of Scotland A war-torn farce worth waiting for.The Independent It is November 1913 and three German shipbuilders, led by master shipwright Anton Rter, are ordered by Kaiser Wilhelm to dismantle a steam ship, send the parts to German East Africa, and reassemble it on Lake Tanganyika. But their aim of getting the job done and returning home quickly is soon eclipsed by the enchantment of the exotic landscape and the violent machinery of colonialism. At the same time, Winston Churchill sends the eccentric Commander Georey Spicer-Simson to transport two dilapidated and incongruously named gun-boats, Mimi and Toutou, to the other side of the lake. When World War I breaks out, the Germans and British are facing each other, and the German shipbuilders reluctantly nd themselves ghting under the unsympathetic Captain-Lieutenant Gustav von Zimmer. In the midst of the horrors of war, however, there are moments of great humor and pathos. Alex Capus was born in 1961 and has published numerous works, including novels, collections of short stories, essays, and historical accounts, as well as translations of A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole and three novels by John Fante. John Brownjohn is a renowned literary translator. His work has won him critical acclaim and numerous awards on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Schlegel-Tieck Prize (three times), the US PEN, and the Helen and Kurt Wol Prize.

Haus Publishing The Ends of the Earth


Roger Willemsen

In a world shrunk by mass tourism and the Internet, any attempt to bring fresh insights to the genre of travel writing might appear a futile endeavor. Yet Roger Willemsens The Ends of the Earth pulls o this feat with panache. Venturing, as the title promises, far and wide, and recording his impressions in twenty-two essays, this celebrated writer not only journeys deep into unfamiliar geographical territory, but also probes the lives of others and plumbs the innermost recesses of his own mind. The result is far removed from the supercial charm of the traditional travelogue: as the author admits, more often than not his quest is driven by a predilection for unlovely things. A series of remarkable encounters and mysterious entanglements combine to create an opinionated psychogeography that is by turns profoundly poignant and wryly humorous. Willemsens accounts of his visits to locations as diverse and distant from one another as a volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula, a railway station in Burma, an icebreaker in the Arctic Ocean, and a hospital ward in Minsk, range from the mundane to the extraordinary, from the sublime to the ridiculous, and hold the reader constantly in thrall. The Ends of the Earth is a unique and fascinating work by one of Europes most idiosyncratic literary voices.

Edited by Jim Perlman, Deborah Cooper, Mara Hart, and Pamela Mittlefehldt

It will be all windows and doors, with the words placed in rows, each one leading to the next, the way the present wears the face of the past.

Holy Cow! Press Dropping into the Flower


Poems

Susan Deborah King


King has an eye and ear at times reminiscent of William Carlos Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Richard Wilbur, Amy Clampitt, Frost. Riveting: thats the word that summarizes this poet most accurately. She sees and feels things up close, in ways rare in American poetry these days. The eye on the object, and the rhythm of the experience, even if that object is humble as an earthworm. Brendan Galvin In Dropping into the Flower, her fth full-length collection of poems, Susan Deborah King focuses in lush, sensual detail on many varieties of ower, celebrating their qualities and allowing them to speak to her imagination. Close observation leads her, through the owers, to explore love, mortality, ecology, myth, history, politics, healing, grief, and the transcendent. In a voice suused, by turns, with passion, vulnerability, condence, wonder, playfulness, and insight, and in a style rich with rhythm and sound effects, she extends to the reader a generous bouquet, vibrant and fragrant with immediacy of being. From Flowers that are Truly Orange are Relatively Few: If I had only one day, Id want to burst as they do: peeled out, with feelers, bold as leaping cossacks trumpeting over green starres, with petals soft as the cheeks of a child. Her work having appeared widely in nationally recognized journals, Susan Deborah King is the author of four other poetry collections, including OneBreasted Woman and Tabernacle: Poems of an Island. She teaches creative writing and leads retreats on creativity and spirituality.
A worldly bouquet of powerfully lyrical poems about owers evokes our connections to the natural world, to ourselves, and to each other. Also Available

Ig Publishing Part of the Family?


Nannies, Housekeepers, Caregivers and the Battle for Domestic Workers Rights

Sheila Bapat
Love and compassion are at the heart of domestic labor, yet historically, domestic workers have been rendered invisibleby society and in the eyes of the law. Mostly foreign-born women, these workers have been excluded from labor protections that workers in the rest of the economy take for granted. However, in the past decade, a growing movement has emerged calling for domestic workers to share in the same rights guaranteed other workers, which is likely to lead to one of the most critical and encompassing labor battles of the twenty-rst century. Part of the Family? Nannies, Housekeepers, Caregivers and the Battle for Domestic Workers Rights chronicles the rising political and social movement to secure labor protections for domestic workers who toil in our homes cleaning, cooking, and caring for our children and elders. Through interviews with the leaders and activists who are forging new and unlikely political alliances among workers, employers, policymakers, and other social justice movements, as well as analysis of the historical underpinnings of the current ght for improved conditions and protections for domestic workers, this important and timely book will shine an overdue light on the invisible laborers who are so critical to our economy (and our families). Sheila Bapat is an attorney and writer covering economics, labor, reproductive policy, and gender discrimination and disparity in politics and the workforce. She writes about economic justice topics for RH Reality Check, and contributes to Reuters. Her work has been published in many places, including Slate and the Believer. She holds a JD from the University of Pennsylvania, and currently lives in San Francisco, California.

Ig Publishing The Naked Society


Vance Packard
Introduction by Rick Perlstein
Originally published in 1964, The Naked Society was the rst book to discuss how then-new technologies such as hidden microphones, concealed cameras, modern ling systems, and the polygraph lie detector could be used by government, employers, stores, credit bureaus, security personnel, and other ofcials to invade our civil liberties. Such activity, which represented the most agrant of the many assaults upon individual rights, was only part of Vance Packards truly shocking book, which also considered the ominous implications of loyalty investigations, passport and travel restrictions, and overzealous police actions. In the end, according to Packard, new technologies, manipulated by government and business, were eroding our freedoms, creating a world akin to something out of George Orwells 1984. Timelier than ever in todays world, where our civil liberties are under constant threat from technology and the actions of government and business, this all new edition of The Naked Society features an introduction by noted historian Rick Perlstein.

Topography is Fate
North African Battleelds of WWII

Photographs by Matthew Arnold


Matthew Arnold spent months in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya to photograph these unfamiliar North African landscapes upon which many crucial battles in the North African Campaign were fought. The sites were found utilizing old battle maps to follow the paths that the Allied military units used, and hadnt been seen and certainly not photographed in over sixty years. Arnold has documented the battleelds as they currently stand in a personal style of landscape photography: impressionistic muted horizons of desert, coastal seascape, and grassland, incorporating bunkers, trenches, and physical artifacts of the conict that remain as part of the environment.

Kube Publishing Ltd Educating Muslim Women


The West African Legacy of Nana Asmau 17931864

Beverley Mack and Jean Boyd


Nana Asmau was a devout, learned Muslim who was able to observe, record, interpret, and inuence the major public events that happened around her. Daughters are still named after her, her poems still move people profoundly, and the memory of her remains a vital source of inspiration and hope. Her example as an educator is still followed: the system she set up in the rst quarter of the nineteenth century, for the education of rural women, has not only survived in its homelandthrough the traumas of the colonization of West Africa and the establishment of the modern state of Nigeriabut is also being revived and adapted elsewhere, notably among Muslim women in the United States. This book, richly illustrated with maps and photographs, recounts Asmaus upbringing and critical junctures in her life from several sources, mostly unpublished: her own rsthand experiences presented in her writings, the accounts of contemporaries who witnessed her endeavors, and the memoirs of European travelers. For the account of her legacy the authors have depended on extensive eld studies in Nigeria, and documents pertaining to the eorts of women in Nigeria and the United States, to develop a collective voice and establish their rights as women and Muslims in todays societies. Beverley Mack is an associate professor of African studies at the University of Kansas. She is co-editor (with Catherine Coles) of Hausa Women in the Twentieth Century and co-author (with Jean Boyd) of The Collected Works of Nana Asmau, 17931864 and One Womans Jihad: Nana Asmau Scholar and Scribe. Jean Boyd is former principal research fellow of the Sokoto History Bureau and research associate of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.
Nana Asmau (17931864) was a prolic Muslim scholar, poet, historian, and educator whose legacy in Nigeria and America continues today.

Yet its always on this day we must answer for ourselvesright an overturned car, recover the body of a brother, convince a son of our worth and his. We are adrift with bad judgment, a little loose in the head, but searching for the correction. A South Carolina native, Jacob White studied creative writing at the University of Houston, where he received the Donald Barthelme Memorial Fellowship in Fiction. His ction has appeared in many journals, including the Georgia Review, New Letters, Salt Hill, and the Sewanee Review, from which he received the Andrew Lytle Prize.

New Society Publishers American Exodus


Climate Change and the Coming Flight for Survival

Giles Slade

Some scientists predict the sea will rise one and a half meters before 2100, but rapidly melting polar ice caps could make the real amount much higher. In the coming century, intensifying storms will batter our coasts, and droughts and heat events will be annual threats. All this will occur as population grows, and declining water resources desiccate agriculture. What will happen when the United States cannot provide food or fresh water for the overheated, overcrowded cities where 80 percent of Americans currently live? The good news is that this overall decline of habitability in the midlatitudes will be matched by increases in the carrying capacity of sparsely populated lands above the 49th parallel. This phenomenon suggests that waves of environmental refugees will travel poleward as southern conditions worsen. Our northern lands are our Noahs arka vital refuge against the moment of mankinds greatest need. In this compelling cautionary work, Giles Slade argues that we are entering a long period of global desperation which will be characterized by human migration on an unprecedented scale. American Exodus is a frighteningly believable survey of our immediate future, but it ends on a note of hope: we may yet survive the coming century of climatic change if we act now to safeguard our shelter of last resort. Giles Slade is the award-winning author of Made to Break and The Big Disconnect. A recovering academic with advanced degrees in rhetoric and literature, he is regularly published in a variety of print and online journals.
Seeking higher groundhow rising global temperatures will lead to unprecedented waves of human migration.

New Society Publishers Living in the Shadow of the Cross


Understanding and Resisting the Power and Privilege of Christian Hegemony

Paul Kivel
Over the centuries, Christianity has accomplished much which is deserving of praise. Its institutions have fed the hungry, sheltered the homeless, and advocated for the poor. Christian faith has sustained people through crisis and inspired many to work for social justice. Yet although the word Christian connotes the epitome of goodness, the actual story is much more complex. Over the last two millennia, ruling elites have used Christian institutions and values to control those less privileged throughout the world. The doctrine of Christianity has been interpreted to justify the killing of millions, and its leaders have used their faith to sanction participation in colonialism, slavery, and genocide. In the Western world, Christian inuence has inspired legislators to continue to limit womens reproductive rights and has kept lesbians and gays on the margins of society. As our triple crises of war, nancial meltdown, and environmental destruction intensify, it is imperative that we dig beneath the surface of Christianitys benign reputation to examine its contribution to our social problems. Living in the Shadow of the Cross reveals the ongoing, everyday impact of Christian power and privilege on our beliefs, behaviors, and public policy, and emphasizes the potential for people to come together to resist domination and build and sustain communities of justice and peace. Paul Kivel is the award-winning author of Uprooting Racism and the director of the Christian Hegemony Project. He is a social justice activist and educator who has focused on the issues of violence prevention, oppression, and social justice for over forty-ve years.
How our dominant Christian worldview shapes everything from personal behavior to public policy (and what to do about it).

New Society Publishers Underminers


A Guide to Subverting The Machine

Keith Farnish

To undermine something is to weaken its very foundation in order to bring about its eventual collapse. Underminers is a radical guide to dismantling the industrial machine. The rst section of the book deconstructs the Tools of Disconnectionthe subtle and seemingly innocuous methods by which we are manipulated into articial separation from other people and the natural world. These can take many forms, from tangible and intangible rewards for good consumer behavior to indoctrination through advertising, media, and compulsory schooling. Once these Tools of Disconnection have been identied, the challenge is to expose their true nature and to provide realistic alternatives to our culture of greed. Outlining a wide array of unconventional responses, Underminers is a practical, rational, and very human response to the ecological and social catastrophes facing us. By turns shocking, entertaining, inspiring, and empowering, this manual for a subversive revolution shows how ordinary people can become tomorrows catalysts for changereconnected to one another and cocreators of a viable future for humanity. We are the Underminers, and this is our time. Keith Farnish is a longtime environmental activist and the author of Times Up! An Uncivilized Solution to a Global Crisis. He has been blogging and writing on environmental and social issues since 2006.

New Society Publishers Browsing Natures Aisles


A Year of Foraging for Wild Food in the Suburbs

Wendy Brown and Eric Brown


When most of us think of self-suciency, we think of growing a large garden, and maybe keeping a few chickens for eggs or meat. While this is certainly part of the picture, unless you live on a large acreage or happen to be a permaculture god or goddess, it is unlikely that it will be enough to allow you to completely break free from the corporate food machine. Wild foods are the ideal solution to bridging the gap between what you are able to produce to feed yourself and what your family needs to survive. Browsing Natures Aisles is the story of one suburban familys adventures in wild foraging. As part of their commitment to self-reliance and resiliency, Wendy and Eric Brown decided to spend a year incorporating wild foods as a regular part of their diet. The experience fundamentally changed their denition of food. Not only did they learn about specic ora and fauna, but they also had to learn how to prepare them in ways that would be both aesthetically appealing and palatable. With information on collecting, preparing, and preserving easily identiable wild edibles found in most suburban landscapes, this unique and inspiring guide is a must-read for anyone who wants to enhance their familys food security by availing themselves of the cornucopia on their doorstep.

In ancient times, however, a wizard was actually a freelance intellectual whose main stock in trade was good advice, supported by a thorough education in agriculture, navigation, political and military science, languages, commerce, mathematics, medicine, and the natural sciencesin essence, the true Renaissance man. John Michael Greer proposes a modern mage for uncertain times; one who possesses a startling array of practical skills gleaned from the appropriate tech and organic gardening movements forged in the energy crisis of the 1970s. From the basic concepts of ecology to a plethora of practical techniques such as composting, green manure, low-tech food preservation and storage, small-scale chicken and rabbit raising, solar water heating, alternative energy sources, and more, Green Wizardry is a comprehensive manual for todays wizard-in-training. Providing a solid practical introduction to the entire appropriate tech toolkit, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about decreasing our dependence on an overloaded industrial system and, in a world of serious energy shortages and economic troubles, making life a great deal less traumatic and more livable. John Michael Greer is a scholar of ecological history and an internationally renowned Peak Oil theorist whose blog The Archdruid Report has become one of the most widely cited online resources dealing with the future of industrial society. He is the author of more than thirty books, including The Wealth of Nature and The Long Descent.
Tested skills for thriving in the age of limits.

Paul Dry Books Where Somebody Waits


Margaret Kaufman

Ruby Davidson, the magnetic central character of Where Somebody Waits, is selfassured, kindand always willing to take a stand for people less fortunate. Five foot ten inches, with masses of red hair and a pompadour that increases her stature to six feet, shes also beautiful. Ruby leads a good life: she loves her husband, adores her nephews and nieces, and more or less dutifully respects the tightly knit southern Jewish family into which she married. A good life, yes . . . except that she also still loves her high-school sweetheart. In this story cycle, Ruby navigates the inner and outer quandaries she faces in her small Arkansas town during the second half of the twentieth century. It dont matter much what people say. I do as I please, so long as it dont hurt anybody, she tells herself, almost convincingly. But her double life weighs upon her, and it seems as if the person really hurt by her lifelong dual love is Ruby herself. How Ruby comes to terms with this old, old conundrum and the result of that effort shape the heart of Where Somebody Waits. Margaret Kaufman has written ve books of poetry. Her collection Snake at the Wrist was published by Sixteen Rivers Press in 2002. A resident of Kenteld, California, Kaufman leads poetry workshops, teaches at the Fromm Institute at the University of San Francisco, and edits both ction and poetry. Where Somebody Waits is her rst book of ction.
Eleven stories revolving around Rubyher life and lifelong love for two very different menin a small Arkansas town.

A high-paced, passionate narrative in which every detail is vital. Leslaw Bartelski ukrowski is] a brilliantly talented observer of life, a visionary skilled at com[Z bining the concrete with the magical, lyricism with realism.Leszek Zulinski Stone Tablets is a richly rendered novel of the plight of a Hungarian diplomat working in India in 1956. Istvan Terey serves as Hungarian cultural attach in Delhi just a few months before his country is torn apart by the Hungarian Uprising. Though he is popular with Indians and Europeans, communists and capitalists, Tereys outspoken criticism of corruption in the Hungarian government and the embassy threatens to undermine his career. His religious convictions trouble, and ultimately destroy, his relationship with his Australian lover. A sweeping Cold War romance, a critique of Soviet Communism, and an expos of tensions within the Warsaw Pact, Stone Tablets is based on the authors own experience as a Polish diplomat in India in the late 1950s, and is ukrowskis most famous novel. Stephanie Krafts vivid translation Wojciech Z unlocks this book for the rst time to English-speaking readers. A huge bestseller in Poland, Stone Tablets won the Pietrzak Prize for literature (1966), was named the most popular book in a poll of Polish booksellers (1974), and was made into a successful movie (1984). ukrowski was one of Polands best-known twentieth-century auWojciech Z thors.

Paul Dry Books Along Those Lines


The Boundaries that Create Our World

Peter Cashwell

After years of crossing borders to see new birds and new landscapes, Peter Cashwells exploration of lines between states, between time zones, and between species led him to consider the lines that divide genders, seasons, musical genres, and just about every other aspect of human life. His conclusion: most had something in commonthey were largely imaginary. Nonetheless, this tour of the tangled world of delineation attempts to address how we distinguish right from wrong, life from death, Democrat from Republicanand how the lines between came to be. Part storyteller, part educator, and part smartass, Cashwell is unafraid to take readers o the beaten pathto the desert vistas of the Four Corners, a quiet breakfast among the redwoods, or a pumping station in Cleveland: something amusing and/or educational awaits at every stop. And hes not alone: the tricks and treats of the human instinct for drawing lines are revealed in interviews with experts of all sorts. Learn about the use of the panel border from a Hugo Awardwinning comics creator. Trace the edge of extinction with the rediscoverer of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Get the truth about the strike zone from an umpire with a physics degree. Youll see even the most familiar lines in a whole new way. Peter Cashwells lifelong fascination with birds and language inspired him to write The Verb To Bird (Paul Dry Books), a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection. Since 1995 he has taught at Woodberry Forest School in Virginia.
A witty, eclectic, and wide-ranging look at the many ways in which people draw, re-draw, erase, and sometimes ignore lines.

The long-awaited Morris Graves: His Houses, His Gardens tells the story of the homes of Morris Graves, a leading gure in Northwest Art and one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century. This high-quality book with beautiful duotone photographs concerns itself with four locationsThe Rock, Carelden, Woodtown Manor, and The Lake. Author, photographer, and close Graves friend Richard Svare makes clear that the world Morris Graves inhabited physically was the world he experienced transcendentally. Morris Graves soared from obscurity to fame in 1942, when thirty of his works appeared in New Yorks Museum of Modern Arts exhibition Americans 1942: 18 Artists from Nine States. A review in ARTnews magazine praised his paintings as the sensation of the show. As a charismatic gure who traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia, Graves developed friendships with artists like John Cage and Merce Cunningham, and hobnobbed with celebrities and royalty. Throughout his career, Gravess work is represented in many public and private collections, including The Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum, Washingtons Phillips Collection, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Partly because he chose to live in the Northwest, Graves was often said to be reclusive. Many of his early paintings were created at The Rock, a cabin he built for himself eighty-ve miles north of Seattle. He built a home in Ireland and spent the last thirty-ve years of his life in Northern California.
A delightful look at the unique residences built by the famed co-founder of the Northwest School of Art.

Pushkin Press Bullght


Yasushi Inoue
Translated by Michael Emmerich

Bullght is a Japanese modern classic, a tense story about post-war Japan and its people struggling to come to terms with a new epochavailable now in English for the rst time. Three years after the end of the Second World War, Tsugami, the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, decides to organize a bullght. But things are not as simple as Tsugami assumes: there are all kinds of logistical problems to overcome, and he has to go into an unwelcome alliance with a shady businessman. Tsugamis private life is also dicult, and as the bullght approaches he must decide whether or not to remain with his lover Sakiko . . . Bullght won the prestigious Akutagawa Prize in 1949, and Yasushi Inoue was consequently assured a place in the Japanese canon. This novel is translated by Michael Emmerich, who has translated much Japanese literature, including Hiromi Kawakami and Banana Yoshimoto. Pushkin Press will be publishing further works by Inoue, including the epistolary novel The Hunting Gun and the story collection The Counterfeiter. Contains a previously unpublished preface by Inoue himself. Yasushi Inoue (19071991) is one of the great Japanese authors. Born in Asahikawa on Hokkaido, he studied rst law and then history of art. From 1936, he worked as a journalist for a major Japanese daily, until Bullght brought him the Akutagawa Prize and national acclaim. His central concern is the loneliness of modern life and the complexities of personal relationships.

Saqi Books Understanding the Quran Today


Mahmoud Hussein
Translated by David Bond

The prevailing belief among Muslims is that, because the Quran is the Word of God and God is eternal, it follows that His Word is also eternal. The belief is based on the postulate that the Word of God must be of the same nature as God Himself. Mahmoud Hussein refutes this by showing that it contradicts the very teachings of the Quran. Whereas God transcends time, His Word is inscribed within time. It is not a monologue, but a living exchange, through which God reveals to His Prophet dierent orders of truth, weaving together the absolute and the relative, the general and the particular, the eternal and the contingent. An international bestseller, Understanding the Quran Today oers a new perspective on one of the worlds most inuential texts and adds an invaluable contribution to the debate on Islam and modernity. Mahmoud Hussein is the pseudonym of Bahgat Elnadi and Adel Rifaat, French political writers of Egyptian origin. Together, they have published many successful works, including La lute de classes en Egypte and Al-Sira, le Prophte de lislam racont par ses compagnons.
A topical and timely text arguing against a literalist reading of the Quran, accessible to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Sarabande Books Praying Drunk


Kyle Minor

I nished this book with my heart pounding and grateful, my coee cold and my smile wide and crying like a baby.Daniel Handler The characters in Praying Drunk speak in tongues, torture their classmates, fall in love, hunt for immortality, abandon their children, keep machetes beneath passenger seats, and collect porcelain gurines. A man crushes pills on the bathroom counter while his son watches from the hallway; missionaries clumsily navigate an uprising with barbed wire and broken glass; a boy disparages memorized scripture, facedown on the asphalt, as he fails to fend o his bully. From Kentucky to Florida to Haiti, these seemingly disparate lives are woven together within a series of nested repetitions, enacting the struggle to remain physically and spiritually alive throughout the untamable turbulence of their worlds. In a masterful blend of ction, autobiography, and surrealism, Kyle Minor shows us that the space between fearlessness and terror is often very small. Long before Praying Drunk reaches its plaintive, pitch-perfect end, Minor establishes himself again and again as one of the most talented younger writers in America. Kyle Minor is the winner of the 2012 Iowa Review Prize for Short Fiction, a three-time honoree in the Atlantic Monthly writing contest, and the author of In Devils Territory (Dzanc Books, 2008). His work has appeared in The Southern Review, Salon, Best American Mystery Stories 2008, Twentysomething Essays by Twentysomething Writers, and Forty Stories: New Voices from Harper Perennial.
This masterfully blended ction and autobiography explores the lives of missionaries, drug addicts, and childhood bullies in Kentucky, Florida, and Haiti.

Sarabande Books Red Holler


Contemporary Appalachian Literature

Edited by John Branscum and Wayne Thomas

Buy this book, its a barn burner!Dorothy Allison In an extraordinarily diverse anthology of poetry, ction, nonction, and graphic essays by contemporary Appalachian writers, Red Holler takes us over and beyond the stock imagery of rural mountain communities. We travel into housing projects, forest-stripped ravines, and trailer high-rises, exploring the vibrant migrant tradition of Appalachian culture. Editors John Branscum and Wayne Thomas have assembled a collection spanning ten years and the mountain range from Mississippi to New York, placing fresh new voices alongside widely known and celebrated authors. Spanning Native American myth, African American urban legend, folk culture, and European ghost stories, this is an anthology of disenfranchised, yet robust peoples. The stories and poems of Red Holler elegantly cohere to perfectly depict what makes Appalachia so fascinating: its irreverent and outlaw challenges to the notions of propriety and convention. John Branscum grew up in Kentucky, Arkansas, and California. He is currently a professor of creative writing at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, a member of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs pedagogy committee, and text editor for Black and Grey Magazine. His ction, poetry, and creative nonction have won the national Ursula K. Le Guin Award for Imaginative Fiction, several Academy of American Poets awards, and appearances in Best American Non-required Reading and Best American Horror. Wayne Thomas teaches creative writing at Tusculum College, a small school located in the northeast Tennessee mountains. He is editor of The Tusculum Review.

Serpents Tail Her Privates We


Frederic Manning
Introduction by William Boyd

The nest and noblest book of men and war that I have ever read. Ernest Hemingway I am sure it is the book of books so far as the British Army is concerned. Lawrence of Arabia A unique and extraordinary novelWilliam Boyd First published privately in 1929 as The Middle Parts of Fortune, Her Privates We is the novel of the Battle of the Somme told from the perspective of Bourne, an ordinary private. A raw and shockingly honest portrait of men engaged in war, that peculiarly human activity, the original edition was subject to prunings and excisions because the bluntness of language was thought to make the book unt for public distribution. This edition restores them. An undisputed classic of war writing and a lasting tribute to all who participated in the war, Her Privates We was originally published as written by Private 19022. Championed by, amongst others, Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and T. E. Lawrence, it has become recognized as a classic in the seventy years since its rst publication. Now republished, it will again amaze a new generation of readers with its depiction of the horror, the ordinariness, and the humanity of war. Frederic Manning enlisted in 1915 in the Shropshire Light Infantry and went to France in 1916 as Private 19022. The Shropshires saw heavy ghting on the Somme and Mannings four months there provided the background to Her Privates We. He died in 1935.

Susan Stinson

Stinson reads the natural world as well as Scripture, searching for meaning. But instead of the portents of an angry god, what she nds there is something numinous, complicated, and radiantly human.Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home Through an ardent faith in the written word Susan Stinson is a novelist who translates a mundane world into the most poetic of possibilities.Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones Wonderfully fuses the historic and the imaginative.Kenneth Minkema, executive director, Jonathan Edwards Center Jonathan Edwards is considered Americas most brilliant theologian. He was also a slave owner. This is the story of the years he spent preaching in eighteenth century Northampton, Massachusetts. In his famous sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Edwards compared a person dangling a spider over a hearth to God holding a sinner over the res of hell. Here, spiders and insects preach back. No voice drowns out all others: Leah, a young West African woman enslaved in the Edwards household; Edwardss young cousins Joseph and Elisha, whose father kills himself in fear for his soul; and Sarah, Edwardss wife, who is visited by ecstasy. Ordinary grace, human failings, and extraordinary convictions combine in unexpected ways to animate this New England tale. Susan Stinson is the author of three novels and a collection of poetry and lyric essays and was awarded the Lambda Literary Foundations Outstanding Mid-Career Novelist Prize. Writer in Residence at Forbes Library in Northampton, Massachusetts, she is also an editor and writing coach.

Connie Willis Howard Waldrops stories are keys to the secrets of the stories behind the stories . . . or perhaps the stories between the stories everyone else knows. From The Wolfman of Alcatraz to a horrifying Hansel and Gretel, from The Bravest Girl I Ever Knew to the sixth Marx brothers story of a vaudeville act tracking down the Holy Grail, this new collection is a wunderkammer of strangeness. Howard Waldrop, born in Mississippi and now living in Austin, Texas, is an American iconoclast. His highly original books include Them Bones and A Dozen Tough Jobs, and the collections Howard Who?, Night of the Cooters, Other Worlds, Better Lives, and Things Will Never Be the Same.

Translated by Paul Norlen

Cold shivers run down my spine after reading just a few pages. Gteborgs Tidningen (Sweden) As the bird u pandemic reaches Gotland Island, panic spreads among the inhabitants who are frantic for an elusive cure.

Talonbooks Wigrum
Daniel Canty
Translated by Oana Avasilichioaei

2011 Grand Prize Winner in the Quebec Graphic Design Competition Graka. Its October 1944. During a brief respite from the aerial bombardment of London, Sebastian Wigrum absconds from his small at and disappears into the fog for a walk in the Unreal City. This is our rst, and only, encounter with the enigmatic man we come to discover decades later through the more than one hundred everyday objects he has left behind. Wigrums bequest is a meticulously cataloged collection of the profoundly ordinary: a camera, some loose teeth, candies and keys, soap, bits of string, hazelnuts, and a handkerchief. Moving through the inventory artifact to artifact, story to story, we become immersed in a dreamlike narrative bricolage determined as much by the objects museological presentation as by the tender and idiosyncratic mania of Wigrums impulse to collect them. With its traces of Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Georges Perec, Daniel Cantys Wigrum explores the limits of the postmodern novel. Having absorbed the logic of lists and the principles of classication systems, the Wigrumian narrative teeters on the boundary between fact and ction, on the uncertain edge of the real and the unreal. Readers venturing into Sebastian Wigrums cabinet of curiosities must abide only the following maxim: If I can believe all the stories I am told, so can you. Daniel Canty is a writer and lm director who works in literature, lm, and new media. Oana Avasilichioaei is a poet, translator, and editor.
Wigrum is catnip for bibliophiles, collectors, designers, and museum lovers. Marginalia give the reader a meta-text and wonderful illustrations in a prize-winning design.

Translated by Rhonda Mullins

PERFORMING ARTS November A Paperback Original 6 x 9 | 384 pp 35 color and B&W photographs Trade Paper US $24.95 978-0-88922-774-3 US

For more than three decades, Robert Lepages dynamic multimedia performance works have been produced on stages worldwide. Celebrated for his bold, visionary aesthetic, Lepage has received several high-prole commissions in recent years, including two Peter Gabriel world tours, Cirque du Soleils K in Las Vegas, a dramatic staging of Richard Wagners Ring Cycle at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and Lorin Maazels 1984 at Londons Royal Opera House. Despite Lepages prolicacy and his status as one of the pioneers of new media performance, little critical writing has been published about his work, particularly in English. Ludovic Fouquets The Visual Laboratory of Robert Lepage, translated for the rst time into English, thus presents much-needed indepth analysis of Lepages strategies and practices. The books title references the experimentation so integral to Lepages creative process and the ways in which Lepage has always been attuned to the synergistic possibilities when art encounters science and technology. Whether as a playwright, actor, lm director, or stage director, he is forever in search of new mutations of form and expression, and his unexpected narratives often write themselves out of discoveries he makes when staging a pieceindeed stagecraft often guides story in Lepages creative realm. This full-color volume will be of keen interest for theater practitioners of all kinds, from set designers to directors, from academics to fans. Ludovic Fouquet is a visual artist, actor, teacher, director, and founder of the company Songes mcaniques (Mechanical Dreams) in Blois, France. Fouquet earned his PhD studying Robert Lepages work and its relationship with technology. Rhonda Mullins is a Governor Generals Awardwinning French-to-English translator, writer, and editor.
Investigates the inuence of technology and visual art in the work of Robert Lepage, a leading gure on the international stage.

Talonbooks Rogue Cells / Carbon Harbour


Garry Thomas Morse

Rogue Cells / Carbon Harbour resumes The Chaos! Quincunx novel series and presents two ironically dystopic visions of the speculative future. In Rogue Cells, Oober Mann emerges from his cryobed on high alert in New Haudenosaunee, a First nation at war with the mysterious territory Nutella. It is a critical election year when citizens live in dread of celebrities who carry out terrorist actions in defense of their own fundamentalist belief systems. Mixed up in an assassination plot under investigation by ISM (Insurgent Sado Management) and DNA-specialist cops, Mann begins to wonder about not only the nature of reality but also the new woman in his life, a femme fatale known only as The Librarian. It is the Age of Aquarium in the speculative green dystopia of Carbon Harbour. Omni-magnate Cornelius Quartz is overseeing the merger between Bildung Endustries and Foreign Objects despite numerous distractions: a double wedding for himself and his daughter is imminent; he is about to lose his best promoter and lover to his rival Zirconium Blu; and working conditions are terrible in the rehashing core and on the wind pharms for hardlucks. There bio-material is harvested to produce architecture, clothing, and other swag for a luxury class of hardcore gamers (they pay for pollution fantasies with carbon credits while on extended getaways to Putridworld). Garry Thomas Morse is the author of six books, including Discovery Passages, which was nominated for the Governor Generals Award and the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize. Morse is also recipient of the 2008 Vancouver Mayors Arts Award for Emerging Artist.

Turtle Point Press The Short Fall


Marek Waldorf

The Short Fall is a rhetorical triumph, a novel about the presidency built architecturally on language and skyscraper sentences, an impressive, high ying debut.Jonathan Baumbach Possessed of great verve and tremendous inventive muscle, Marek Waldorf oers style and substance to spare in this terric debut. Calvinos millennial qualities are all here: but especially quickness and lightness and lots of pleasurable multiplicity. I got hits, in reading The Short Fallan experience, in short, that I highly recommendof early, rollicking Javier Marias, but also of Gilbert Sorrentino and Harry Mathews too.Laird Hunt A speechwriter shot during a botched assassination starts to recover powers of speech along with pieced-together memories of the campaign he served and the candidate he helped make president of a bankrupt and volatile republic. The more the narrator remembers the more he suspects that he was the target. A frenzied, lyrical, farcical, anguished monologue on the personal and political. Raymond Chandler once wrote in a letter, It doesnt matter a damn what a novel is about. The only ction of any moment in any age is that which does magic with words. Marek Waldorf does magic with words in The Short Fall, a multilevel debut novel about a paralyzed speechwriters relationship to his client, a charismatic presidential candidate named Vince Talbot, and about his own relationship to the written word. The novel, lled with lively eusions of wit and unexpected humor, is at once a non-ideological y-on-the-wall expos of how campaigns are run and a meditation on writing and creative embellishment. Its an achronological story of recovery, one that emerges slowly like an image on a Polaroid photograph.
In a political conspiracy of tragic and comic errors one man takes the fall for another groomed to be president.

Turtle Point Press Peyton Place: A Haiku Soap Opera


David Trinidad

David Trinidad turns the paste jewels of pop art into the real thing. James Schuyler In David Trinidads Peyton Place: A Haiku Soap Opera, the moment-by-moment particulars of traditional haiku collide with the time-stretching serial narratives of contemporary soap operas. As Trinidads haiku chart the changing seasons, dont be surprised if the snow falling under moonlight is articial, dumped by overworked stagehands o-camera. Seventeen syllables mediated by televisionthe continuing story of Peyton Place making a high-def splash in Basho s pond.Tony Trigilio The world of art can appear anywhere, so its no wonder to me that Trinidad nds something worthwhile in producing a haiku for each of the episodes of Peyton Place and that, embedded in the strange curl of Dorothy Malones hairdo, is yet one more space still untouched and undened by a poet. Manuel Muoz This is the continuing story of Peyton Place. One irreverent haiku for each of the over ve hundred prime time 1960s era adult soap opera episodes. Fraught relationships, courtroom clihangers, and sensational storylines are condensed into seventeen-syllable episodes, as stereotypic characters weather the passing TV seasons. This haiku soap epic is ingenious, funny, and totally addictive. Excerpts from Peyton Place: A Haiku Soap Opera have been selected by Denise Duhamel for inclusion in Best American Poetry, 2013.
This is the continuing story of Peyton Place in seventeen irrepressible syllables. One irreverent haiku for each weekly television episode.

Two Dollar Radio Frequencies: Volume 3


Antonia Crane, D. Foy, and Lawrence Shainberg

From Writing on the Road: [Norman Mailer] likes to say that all novelists are actors at heart. Over the years, its been a useful metaphor . . . a reference to the voices and identities he explores at his desk, but tonight hes pushing it into reality. Hes an actor unqualied and the role he plays is Hemingway, the writer whose voice he sought to emulate when he discovered it more than sixty years ago, the writer whose suicide some forty years ago, made him realize, as if for the rst time, the immeasurable risk of the profession he had chosen. From This is Not a Trend: Krump and the Ko-opting of Krumpness: At once a code, an essence, an ideal, an ethic, a force, a thing, and a state, krumpness for the krumper is in all seriousness akin to godliness, bestowed upon the krumper, or so real krumpers say, by no less than God Himself. . . . The youths in this scene, every last one, are so far down in the folds of krumpness, the world of their daily existence has been subsumed to them themselvesfor this brief time, they are the world. The latest installment of Frequencies follows Norman Mailer and George Plimpton to Vienna for a staged reading of Zelda, based on correspondence between Ernest Hemingway and the Fitzgeralds. D. Foy tracks krump, from street-art to reality television. Plus: Antonia Crane on being down-and-out in San Francisco, and a discussion between photographer Lynn Davis and husband, Rudolph Wurlitzer.

Umbrage Editions Harry Mattison: VITA


Photographs by Harry Mattison
Contributions by Carolyn Forch, Susan Meiselas, Andrea Gilats, and Eugene Richardson
Best known for his work covering the political upheavals in Central America in the 1970s and 80s, Harry Mattisons life is one of extraordinary encounters and events. Surviving the death squads of El Salvador and Nicaragua, he went on to be present in the last days of apartheid in South Africa, documented the expulsion of the PLO from Lebanon to Tunisia, and witnessed some of the most spectacular political events of those decades. During the years of hard-bitten journalism, questions of ethics raised by documentary practice were of central concern to Mattison. His own decision to abandon the pretense of impartial journalist (he was then photographic bureau chief for Time) to become an impassioned participant in a Soweto antiapartheid rally in South Africa caused him to be ejected from that country, accused of disseminating images of unrest. Mattison later made a decision to change his path to a more reective one, and in the next decades, as a professor of political philosophy, he documented inner city Washington, Minnesotas Iron Range, and, in an ongoing multi-year project these last years, charted the unfolding psychological landscape underpinning modern China. In this process Mattison has grappled with pivotal questions about a photographers relationship to his subject, the use of images in the media, and the relationship of images to history and memory.
An overview of the celebrated photographers work documenting history from Central America to the United States and, most recently, China.

All women are not mothers, but all women are daughters, and this challenging study of young women from all over the worldfrom privilege to poverty, from Iceland to Indonesia, asks us, and the striking subjects of the photographs who look at us with such a profound challenge and directness, to reconsider the relationship, both its origins and its aftermath. It is not only adolescence, the teenage years, that create the cauldron of identity, but rather that formative time that comes later, in the early twenties, when a girl has truly left the parental sheltering wings and is on her own. This is the period that poses the greatest risks and challenges, and marks the moment of dening self. Swedish photographer Lisen Stibeck asked the question of her subjects and heard their stories: varied, some dicult, some inspirational. Some full of ambition, some of those ambitions cloud dreams, unrealizable. Her photographs capture something miraculously beautiful and at the same time deeply vulnerable in their sense of possibility and their hesitation. They are a homage . . . but also a prayer. As a result of many of these encounters Stibeck now funds a home for young women in north Africa. The royalties from the sale of this book will support continuing education and training programs there.
Black-and-white portraits of young women in their twenties, the age of vulnerability that marks the moment of dening self.

Uncivilized Books Pascin


Joann Sfar
Translated by Edward Gauvin

Pascin, a biography of the noted Jewish modernist painter (Julius Mordecai Pincas, known as Pascin, March 31, 1885June 5, 1930), is Joann Sfars most personal and important work. Pascin is portrayed by Sfar both as a kindred spirit and an aesthetic revolutionary struggling to redene an art form. Sfar revels in the artists celebration of all things corporeal in the world of art. Though the story is drenched in sex, it is never eroticized. Created in a direct and immediate drawing style, Sfar focuses more on the artists personal and sexual life than on his art, and brings Pascin to life as the ultimate bohemian. Joann Sfar is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of European comics. He is the author and artist on a great number of acclaimed graphic novels including The Rabbis Cat, Klezmer: Tales of the Wild East, Vampire Loves, and Dungeon. He wrote and directed Gainsbourg: Une Vie Heroique, the biopic of the illustrious French songwriter and singer. The lm was released in 2010 to international acclaim.
In his most personal work, Joann Sfar brings Pascin the Jewish modernist painterto life as the ultimate bohemian.

Uncivilized Books War of Streets and Houses


Sophie Yanow

War of Streets and Houses is named after General Marshal Thomas Bugeauds nineteenth-century essay; the rst European manual for the preparation and conduct of counter-guerilla urban warfare. The text greatly inuenced Baron Haussmanns famous re-development of Paris, and the planning of modern cities. In 2012 Sophie Yanow participated in the massive Montreal student strikes. In the midst of protesting crowds and police kettles, the military origins of urban planning suddenly became an undeniable reality. Yanows most ambitious work to date deftly melds the history of urban planning, theories of control, and personal experiences of the city and political activism. Sophie Yanow grew up in the woods just north of San Francisco, California. In the fall of 2011 she moved to Montreal, Quebec, where she joined the well regarded Colosse comics collective. In Situ, a collection of journal comics documenting her transition to Montreal, won wide acclaim in the United States and Canada. Her work has also frequently appeared online in venues such as Top Shelf Comix and The Rumpus.

Your Average American

Peter Schilling, Jr.


From 1942 to his retirement in 1966, Carl Barks drew Donald Duck comic books (the seventh greatest comic of the twentieth century according to The Comics Journal) for Walt Disney. He took what should have been a bland franchise and turned it into a classic of comics. Drawing on his own experiences (most notably a brief stint as a chicken farmer), Barks went to create a character who was remarkable . . . for not being remarkable. In his pursuit of a good job, his boredom with suburban life, his temper, his squabbles with neighbors, and his resolve in the face of his many failures, Barkss Donald Duck was truly your average American. Peter Schilling, Jr. is the author of The End of Baseball and writes about lm and the arts for a variety of publications. He has been reading and studying Carl Barkss entire catalog since he was a child.

But now, back to our story, It has coee in it, a naked river. Blessed are we who rapture An electric wire, blessed be The falling things about our faces, Blessed is the socket of an eye That lights the body, because In the end, in the very end, its Just you. You and you. And you. Noelle Kocot is the author of six collections of poetry. Her work has been featured in The Best American Poetry (2012 and 2013) and in Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology (edited by Paul Hoover). She is the recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Academy of American Poets, the Fund for Poetry, and the American Poetry Review. She lives in New Jersey.
An electric new collection, built from the rubble and strangeness of daily life.

White Pine Press What Euclids Third Axiom Neglects To Mention About Circles
Carolyn Moore
Carolyn Moore is a poet whose lyrics, meditations, and elegies use language from geology, botany, and mathematics to explore the human condition. She uses the conventions of contemporary poetry with condence, but much of the lyricism comes from a vocabulary from scientic categories that is not often used. However, these poems share a deep faith in the power of poetry to connect a life in science, the complexities of family, recognition of desire and suering to a passion for words.Patricia Spears Jones Carolyn Moore has published four chapbooks. She now works from the last vestige of the family farm in Tigard, Oregon.

Windhorse Publications Not About Being Good


A Practical Guide to Buddhist Ethics

Subhadramati

While there are numerous books on Buddhist meditation and philosophy, there are few books that are entirely devoted to the practice of Buddhist ethics. Here Subhadramati, an experienced teacher of meditation and ethics, communicates clearly both their founding principles and the practical methods to embody them. She begins by stating that Buddhist ethics dont see human nature as something to be beaten into submission, tamed, or domesticated. Buddhism is not trying to cure life of itself. Buddhism is about fullling our human nature, not diminishing it, and its ethics are both the means and the expression of this fulllment. In Buddhism, being ethical means being truly human. Buddhist ethics are thus not about conforming to a set of conventions, not about being good in order to gain material, social, or religious rewards. Instead, as Subhadramati outlines, living ethically springs from the awareness that other people are essentially no dierent from ourselves. We can, if we choose, actively develop this awareness, through cultivating more and more love, clarity, and contentment. Helping us to come into a greater harmony with all that lives, including ourselves, this is ultimately a guidebook to a more satisfactory life. Subhadramati is a teacher of meditation and Buddhism at the London Buddhist Centre. This is her rst book.
A teacher of meditation and ethics, Subhadramati gives us the principles and practical guidelines of Buddhist ethics.

Zephyr Press Canyon in the Body


Lan Lan
Translated by Fiona Sze-Lorrain
Presented in ve thematic sections, this bilingual collection compiles Lan Lans most characteristic work, showcasing her lyricism, austerity, luminosity, and moral sensibilities. Previous translations have appeared in the anthology Push Open the Window (Copper Canyon Press, 2010) and Another Kind of Nation: An Anthology of Contemporary Chinese Poetry (Talisman House, 2007). From Short Lines: Already too late. Before I get lost. I like this madness. The stillest. You drag along your experience to love me, yet fear using it to know me. Ill be a way you reach for the world: everything is dierent, so its the same. Born in 1967, Lan Lan grew up in the Shandong countryside, where she recalls, I went to a school where classrooms were cowsheds and the desks made from sun-dried mud brick. Right behind us were two cows among the peanut vines. At fourteen, Lan Lan published her rst sequence of poems, I Want to Sing, in a renowned literary journal. Today, she is the best-selling author of nine poetry titles and has earned a reputation as both a successful editor and a popular childrens ction writer whose work has been translated into ten languages. Awarded a string of prestigious literary prizes in China between 1996 and 2010, she garnered four of Chinas most important national literary prizes in 2009.
Lan Lan was voted by a panel of seventy major critics and poets as one of the best contemporary Chinese writers.

Zephyr Press Kopenhaga


Grzegorz Wrblewski
Translated by Piotr Gwiazda
Kopenhaga is the rst comprehensive collection of Grzegorz Wrblewskis prose poetry. The lyric narrator in Kopenhaga appears to be in a state of permanent disquiet; he is vulnerable, anxious, self-estranged. We observe his tendency for psychological extremes, his morbid fascination with death and decay, his crippling paranoia and cosmic loneliness. In Kopenhaga Wrblewski combines two tropes: the immigrants divided identity and the ethnographers search for patterns. Next to Paris Spleen, Wrblewskis minimalistic technique, commitment to sincerity, and attention to empirical data link his writings to the objectivist tradition in US poetry, especially William Carlos Williams and Charles Rezniko, though we also detect parallels with the urban-centered poetry of Charles Bukowski and Ron Padgett. There is something strange and indecent about people who suddenly dispose of their libraries. Recently, the well-o R. appeared at my door with a carton of books; he is moving and there is no space for them in his new apartment (which is probably bigger than the previous one). This is how Formy by Tadeusz Rzewicz (Czytelnik, Warsaw, 1958, 1st edition) ended up in Christianshavn. Last sentence of the volume: Amid all this hubbub we walk toward silence, toward explanation.

Zuccotti Park Press Occupy


Reections on Class War, Rebellion, and Repression Second Edition

Noam Chomsky
Occupy is another vital contribution from Chomsky to the literature of deance and protest, and a red-hot rallying call to forge a better, more egalitarian future.AlterNet Occupy is at once a vivid portrait of the now-global movement and a practical guide to intelligent activism . . . [and includes] some of the most moving and provocative photographs from the Occupy movement.Maria Popova, Brain Pickings Over the past forty years, Noam Chomsky has risen to the status of international celebrity for his fearless critique of power and advocacy for human rights and democracy. In this expanded edition of Occupy, Chomsky directs that critique to update his analysis of the nancial crisis and the widespread repression waged against those who demand accountability and change. Since the crisis began, bankers have evicted millions of families, repossessed their homes, and destroyed their credit. Many of these families were victimized by bank fraud, theft, and predatory abuse. While more than 7,700 people have been arrested protesting that corporations be held accountable for their crimes, none of the perpetrators have been arrested. Why? Through talks and conversations, Occupy presents a lucid examination of the recent history of the rise of corporate power, its corrupting inuence, nancial manipulation, and what people in the United States and around the world can and should do to win higher levels of freedom from economic injustice. Born of the moment, accessible, aordable, and designed to t in your back pocket, the new edition of Occupy is destined to be a classic of underground protest literature.
A provocative critique of both the economic crisis and the repression waged against those who seek to hold corporations accountable.
