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.

Agustn Guillamn
Translated by Paul Sharkey
Seeing the writing on the wall, one of Spains largest unions began secretly arming workers throughout the country. The anarcho-syndicalist union evolved from overseeing workers defense to organizing armed resistance to the Fascist coup. From there, it administered entire militias and nally coordinated industrial self-management and food distribution, leading a revolution within the Spanish Civil War. A fascinating new history and a lively narrative of ordinary men and women making history. Agustn Guillamn is an independent historian and the author of The Friends of Durruti Group, 193739 and The Committees Revolution.

First circulated on the streets of Greenwich Village in 1967, the SCUM Manifesto is a searing indictment of patriarchal culture in all its forms.

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.

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.

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.

Parker turns tragedy into artnot for sensationalism, but an honoring of innocence, and love.Kurt Brown Part outrage, part elegy, these spare and exact poems move me deeply. Thomas Lux Written in response to the tragic suicide of Tyler Clementi, Viral explores the complex issues of sexuality, shame, and masculinity. 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. Sellars Award from the Academy of American Poets, was a poetry fellow at the Prague Summer Seminars, and has received fellowships and scholarships from Sarah Lawrence College Summer Writers Seminar and Prairie Schooner. Suzanne directs the creative writing program at Brookdale Community College and is an editor for MEAD: A Magazine of Literature and Libations.
Reecting on the tragic suicide of Tyler Clementi, Viral reveals the way any one event ripples outward to affect many.

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.

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.

David L. Chapman
Foreword by Douglas Brown
Over the last one hundred years, the image of the muscular man has known no boundaries; it has been the object of envy and desire, and used to convey optimal health and tness, product appeal, political power, and military might. Universal Hunks, David L. Chapmans follow-up to American Hunks, is a captivating collection of historical images of muscular men from around the world, beginning in the nineteenth century and continuing up until the 1970s, including photographs, posters, advertisements, magazine and comic book covers, and product packaging. The book considers the eroticized, politicized, and commercialized male image through history, and evaluates its fascinating cultural context by country and continent; culled from the authors personal collections, it includes materials never published before, including images of Asian bodybuilders, European comic-book superheroes, and muscleman posters from the Soviet Union. The book also includes a foreword by cultural and sports historian Douglas Brown. Full-color throughout, Universal Hunks is a thought-provoking and sexy visual tour of musclemen from all parts of the globe.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sohrab Sepehri
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.

Bill Porter follows the Yellow River, the worlds sixth longest river, from its mouth to its source high in the Tibetan Plateau, a journey of more than three thousand miles through nine Chinese provinces. The trip takes the master translator into what was once the cradle of Chinese civilization and to the hometowns and graves of key historical gures such as Confucius, Mencius, Lao-tzu, and Chuang-tzu. Porters depth of knowledge of Chinese history and culture is unparalleled. Yellow River Odyssey, already a bestseller in China, reveals a complex, fascinating, contradictory country. Porter masterfully digs beneath Chinas present-day materialism and the deep wounds of the Cultural Revolution to get at the roots of Chinese culture. And he does so with an everpresent wit and a keen eye for the telling detail. The book also includes more than fty black-and-white photographs taken by Porter during his travels. Bill Porter is an award-winning author and translator also known by his pen name, Red Pine. He is considered one of the foremost translators of Chinese texts, especially Buddhist and Taoist poetry and sutras. His translation work includes major Buddhist texts such as The Platform Sutra, The Diamond Sutra, and The Heart Sutra as well as the best-selling poetry collections Taoteching and Collected Songs of Cold Mountain. He is also the author of Zen Baggage and Road to Heaven: Encounters with Chinese Hermits. Porter lives in Port Townsend, Washington.

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. The book includes two dozen watercolors and illustrations by artist Jessica Lynn Bonin that reinterpret pie and baking in a contemporary, feminist context.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

Shawn Micallef
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.

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.
Tree of Life meets In Search of Lost Time in this contemporary tale of loss and the power of story.

Stefano Cerio asserts photographys ability to render manifest the invisible, what is usually hidden from the eyenot, as the modernist tradition embodied by the new vision would have it, by exploiting the particular characteristics of the camera, nor, according to the lesson of photojournalism, by showing a surprising aspect of daily life, but by searching those parts of the world that only a specic and determinate photographic intentionality can bring to light. The work of Stefano Cerio ts into one of the most signicant and distinctive areas in Italian photography.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From the ashes of a repressive, segregated, and racist state, a multi-racial nation miraculously emerged, one of the greatest success stories of the African continent. And so began Per-Anders Petterssons love aair with South Africa. Digging beneath the myth of the Rainbow Nation, he explored the complex realities of daily life.

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.
Sankya is an examination of the elements of rebellion and protest. Compare to the recent large-scale actions against Vladimir Putin.

Michele Battiste
This is an extraordinary collection, and its strain of deant, blood-stirring gypsy music is the tonic youve been looking for.Albert Godbarth and Budapest lives in sectioned-o coal cellars, black dust clogging the thin sieve of skin. Evening swells, sirens beating on six inches of window like autumn breaking down on barren streets. Jutka inhales on the decrescendo, the baby at her breast again, kicking her ribsa soft metronome marking the rise and fall of mechanical howl, too slow for any melody but dirge and it is easy to forget that death is a mournful thing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Internationally renowned trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort delves into the fetishistic world of contemporary fashion to reveal a daring and instinctive future for style and culture. As Edelkoort explains, the book explores various themes, from our fundamental need to cover ourselves to the eccentric extremes to which our desires can take us on the quest for beauty. Fetishism in Fashion investigates topics including the evolution of taste from birth to adulthood, the elevation of shoes through ever-higher heels, the psychology of branding, the eects of infantilism, the power of the color black, the fetishizing of objects, and the interaction of architecture, fashion, and the body. The avant garde art performances of Leigh Bowery are highlighted in honor of his continually growing inuence on contemporary culture. Talent will be sourced from around the globe, focusing on innovative and original content that illustrates a dramatic shift in aesthetics. Bolder, crazier, and more outlandish styles are on the fashion horizon, making this book a key reference in a new era of experimentation and intense creativity. With visually rich photography and essays by established authors discussing art, clothing, design, textiles, food, and beauty, this in-depth publication will unveil the intimate ties that bind us.

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.

Rover the mutt, Pepper the rat terrier, and many more will guide you through these humorous, warm, and adventure-lled stories that are a must for dog and outdoor lovers everywhere.

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. In an era of video games and over-structured afternoons, this book will re-ignite childrens ardor for the outdoors. 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. Our contemporary noir title The Panda Theory is from critically acclaimed Pascal Garnier. And we are very pleased to be bringing to the United States Clisson and Eugnie, the love story from the pen of the great Napoleon Bonaparte. In September 2011 we opened a bookshop, Belgravia Books, specializing in books in translation and from independent publishers. Find out more at www.belgraviabooks.com.

On one level Catlins paintings oer an insight into nineteenth-century American ideas about the land and animals of the continent. But he was also the rst to champion the notion of a national park to protect the bualo and Native American people that he portrayed so vividly in his paintings.

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.

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.

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
This engaging anthology on the theme of home includes twenty personal essays and nearly eighty poems from a wide variety of social and cultural perspectives, as unique and diverse as the authors who have written them. Herein are previously uncollected writings by Joseph Bruchac, Jane Yolen, Marge Piercy, Naomi Shihab Nye, Roberta Hill, Mark Vinz, and many others. In a world of increasing change and mobility, these writings explore our most fundamental concerns for self-identity: what is our home, where have we come from, who am I? From The House Made of Words: Some day I will have a house made of words. 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. Jim Perlman is the founding editor and publisher of Holy Cow! Press. Deborah Cooper is the author of Under the Inuence of Lilacs (Clover Valley Press, 2010). She is the 201214 Poet Laureate of Duluth, Minnesota. Mara Hart writes memoir in prose and poetry. Her book, Lovecrafts New York Circle, was published in 2007 by Hippocampus Press. Pamela Mittlefehldt is a poet and mystery writer. She is working on a collection of essays about the meaning of place.

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.
Documents the rising movement to secure rights for cooks, nannies, caregivers, and other domestic workers.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Childrens play is focused, purposeful, and full of learning. As children play, they master motor development, learn language and social skills, think creatively, and make cognitive leaps. Lets Play provides caregivers, teachers, and parents with a variety of budget-friendly, child-centered experiences that lead to countless learning opportunities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
