Angels with Dirty Faces
Three Stories of Crime, Prison, and Redemption
Walidah Imarisha
There was a time I believed prisons existed to rehabilitate people, to make our
communities safer. . . . When I saw for the first time (but not the last) a mother
sobbing and clutching her son when visiting hours were up, only to be physically
pried off and escorted out by guards, I knew nothing about that made me safer.
This is the heart of this countrys prison system. And the prison system has become the heart of America.Walidah Imarisha, f rom the introduction
This is no romanticized tale of crime and punishment. The three lives in this creative nonfiction account are united by the presence of actual harmsometimes
horrific violence. Walidah Imarisha, a sexual assault survivor, brings us behind
prison walls to visit her incarcerated brother Kakamia and his fellow inmate
Jimmy Mac McElroy, a member of the Irish gang the Westies. Together they explore the questions: People can do unimaginable damage to one anotherand
then what? What do we as a society do? What might redemption look like?
Imarisha doesnt flinch as she guides us through the complexities and contradictions of transformative justice, eschewing theory for a much messier reality.
The result is a nuanced and deeply personal analysis that allows readers to connect emotionally with the stories she shares, and the people behind them.
Walidah Imarisha is a writer, organizer, educator, and spoken-word artist.
She is the co-editor of Octavias Brood: Science Fiction Stories From Social Justice
Movements and author of the collection of poetry Scars/Stars.

Making Sense of Anarchism
Errico Malatestas Experiments with Revolution, 18891900
Davide Turcato
Davide Turcato makes the relevance of history dynamically clear. Making Sense
of Anarchism is simultaneously a critique of how history is typically written and
a demonstration of how to do it right. Using Errico Malatestas revolutionary exploits as a guide, Turcato provides an antidote to studies that equate anarchism
with irrationality. He also produces a gripping survey of debates and political experiments as crucial to the twenty-fi rst century as they were to the nineteenth.

Drinking with Ghosts
The Aftermath of Apartheids Dirty War
Michael Schmidt
Drinking with Ghosts illuminates both past and present and is an invaluable contribution to understanding what South Africa is today. Written with verve and
passion, its an unputdownable read.Hamilton Wende, author of Only the Dead
Drinking with Ghosts is a fascinating exploration of the dark corners of South
Africas past by a seasoned journalist. Michael Schmidts revelations move from
South Africas nuclear program under apartheid to the problems of todays deeply
unequal society, tracing the threads of secrecy, privilege, racism, and violence that
are needed to maintain it.
The book is also a testament to Schmidts career as an investigative journal
ist: his dedicated and uncompromising quest to uncover the truth shines through
on every page. Schmidts journalism and his activism took him behind the curtain of the transition in South Africa from autocracy to democracy, exploring the
impact of the Cold Wars end on sub-Saharan Africa, including the continents
war-z ones, from Lesotho and Mozambique to the former Zaire and Darfur.
His path led him to challenge the dominant liberal/progressive narrative of a
peaceful transition in the region and to substitute the story of an often-bloody,
hotly contested continuity in which Nelson Mandelas ANC fulfilled the long-
term, strategic, neoliberal objectives of their old apartheid enemies, and in
which democratic South Africa, the worlds most unequal society, plays a sub-
imperialist continental role.
Michael Schmidt founded the Professional Journalists Association of South
Africa in 2010. He is co-author of Black Flame: The Revolutionary Class Politics of
Anarchism and Syndicalism.

The Anarchist Expropriators
Buenaventura Durruti and Argentinas Working-Class Robin Hoods
Osvaldo Bayer
Translated by Paul Sharkey
Osvaldo Bayers study of working-class retribution, set between 1919 and 1936,
chronicles hair-raising robberies, bombings, and tit-for-t at murders conducted
by Argentinas working men. Intense repression of labor organizations, newspapers, and meeting places by authorities set off a wave of illegal acts meant to secure funds and settle scores. Escaping similar repression at home, future Spanish
Civil War hero Buenaventura Durruti joins the cast on a spree of robberies,
ending in a narrow escape back to Europe.

Traveling the Road to LGBT Equality
Mark Segal
A dramatic and inspirational memoir from one of the worlds top leaders
of the movement for gay and lesbian equality.
Read Mark Segals memoir and youll get the inside story of how and why he interrupted a live broadcast of the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. What
happened afterward will surprise you. Its one of many surprises in this must-
read first-person account of LGBT history as it unfolded after Stonewall. Segal
was a witness to that history, and he made some of it happen, changing our country and our lives for the better.L ouis Wiley Jr., senior editorial consultant,
PBS Frontline
Mark Segals approach to his considerable accomplishments is a classic ex
ample of the best in American boosterism. His optimism, zeal, and perseverance have served our community well.Don Michaels, former publisher of
the Washington Blade
On December 2, 1973, Mark Segal disrupted a live broadcast of the CBS Evening
News when he sat on the desk directly between the camera and news anchor
Walter Cronkite, yelling, Gays protest CBS prejudice! He was wrestled to the
studio floor by the stagehands on live national television, thus ending LGBT
invisibility.
Because of activists like Mark Segal, whose life work is dramatically detailed
in this poignant and important memoir, today there are openly LGBT people
working in the White House and throughout corporate America. An entire community of gay world citizens is now finding the voice that they need to become
visible.
Mark Segal has established a reputation as the dean of American gay journalism over the past five decades. From his key role in organizing the Stonewall
demonstrations in 1969 to founding the Philadelphia Gay News in 1975, along
with his more recent forays into TV and politics, his proven commitment as a
tireless LGBT advocate has made him a force to be reckoned with.

Everton Dorril is a rising star in a Jamaican beverage company when his stepmother calls one morning to tell him his father is missing. Everton immediately
fears the worst in Jamaicas crime-r idden society. An outside child born to his
fathers mistress, Everton deeply resents his father and hates the idea of jeopardizing the most important moment in his career to go find him, but feels he has
no other choice.
Everton soon discovers that his father is off on a quest to track down a woman
he has been in love with for thirty-fi ve years. Each day Everton spends with his
father brings a new adventure, including being chased from a marijuana field by
gunmen. One drunken night Everton finally confronts his father and airs his resentments. He discovers that his father, frightened and unhappy with the failings of his past, is seeking closure and reconciliation.
Garfield Ellis is the author of two story collections, Flaming Hearts and Other
Stories and Wake Rasta and Other Stories, and the novels Such As I Have and For
Nothing at All. He divides his time between Jamaica and Scarborough, Ontario.

The System of Dantes Hell
Amiri Baraka
Much of the novel is an expression of the intellectual and moral lost motion
of the age . . . the special agony of the American Negro.The New York Times
Book Review
This 1965 novel is structured on the themes of Dantes Inferno: violence, incontinence, fraud, treachery. With a poets skill Amiri Baraka creates the atmosphere
of hell, and with dramatic power he reconstructs the brutality of the black slums of
Newark, a small Southern town, and New York City.
Amiri Baraka (19342014) was the author of numerous books of poetry, fiction,
and nonfiction. He was named Poet Laureate of New Jersey from 2002 to 2004
by the New Jersey Commission on Humanities. His short story collection Tales
of the Out & the Gone (Akashic Books) was a New York Times Editors Choice and

Tales
Amiri Baraka
Introduction by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Barakas stories evoke a mood of revolutionary disorder, conjuring an alternative universe in which a dangerous African-A merican underground, or a dangerous literary undergroundstill exists. . . . Baraka is at his best as a lyrical prophet
of despair who transfigures his contentious racial and political views into a tran
scendent, outtelligent clarity.The New York Times Book Review, Editors Choice
These artful and nuanced stories fall into two parts: the first nine concern
themselves with the sensibility of a hip, perceptive young black man in white
America. The last seven stories endeavor to place that same man within the context of his awareness of and participation in a rapidly emerging and powerfully
felt Negritude. They deal, it might be said, with the black man in black America.

Donald Revell writes with a drunken equipoise among the weedy flowers and
bees of roadside museums and vacant churches. . . . [Here] are poems that border
the hereafter and revive the childs play of prophecy. What miraculous assistance
they provide!Dean Young
Donald Revell pushes boundaries between words and music, transcending our
current notion of beauty and innocence. Personal memory, the visionary, the
eccentric, and the divine intertwine between networks of stories that connect
past and present through paint strokes, composition, and pastoral lyric. Pure
of heart poems lie down in a vibrant field of paradox, basking gratefully in the sun
of unknowing.
From Beyond Disappointment:
Hence and farewell valediction: lifes journey.
It makes no sense. The children mock us with it.
A typewriter beneath the Christmas tree
Calls to the icecaps. Illustrated monthlies
Burn in the wasps burnt nest. It is
Such perfections make the sun to rise.
Donald Revell has authored eleven collections of poetry, most recently Tantivy
(2012) and The Bitter Withy (2009). Winner of the PEN USA Translation Award
and two-time winner of the PEN USA Award for Poetry, he has also won the
Academy of American Poets Lenore Marshall Prize and is a former Fellow of the
Ingram Merrill and Guggenheim Foundations. Additionally, he has twice been
awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. Former editor-
in-chief of Denver Quarterly, he now serves as poetry editor of Colorado Review.
Revell is the director of graduate studies and professor of English at the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas.

This debuts spare, delicate poems explore ways we experience the afterlife of
beauty while ornately examining lust, loss, and identity. Drawing upon traditions of amorous sonnets, these love-elegies desire an artistic and sexual connection to othersother times, other placesi n order to understand aesthetic
pleasures the speaker craves. Distant and formal, the poems feel both ancient
and contemporary.
Antique Book
The sky was crazed with swallows.
We walked in the frozen grass
of your new city, I was gauzed with sleep.
Trees shook down their nests.
The ceramic pots were caparisoned with snow.
I was jealous of the river,
how the light broke it, of the skein
of windows where we saw ourselves.
Where we walked, the ice cracked
like an antique book, opening
and closing. The leaves
beneath it were the marbled pages.
Richie Hofmann is the winner of a Ruth Lilly Fellowship from the Poetry
Foundation, and his poems have appeared or are forthcoming in the New Yorker,
Poetry, the Kenyon Review, and Ploughshares. A graduate of the Johns Hopkins
University MFA program, he is currently a Creative Writing Fellow in Poetry at
Emory University.

Karl Stevens and Gustavo Turner
Karl Stevenss fifth book collects two graphic novellas
along with several shorter works, including several

Karl Stevenss fifth book collects two graphic novellas along with several shorter
works; featuring a suite of collaborations with the cultural critic and author
Gustavo Turner, including the critically acclaimed Succe$$, originally serialized
in the Boston Phoenix.
Imitating Life is the story of a young academic/cartoonist named Veronica
Fleece who lives her life through art, in both her professional and personal lives.
By day she teaches art history (specifically Rembrandt) at NYU and by night
(and at any spare moment) she commits herself to documenting her thoughts
on life and art through comics. Illustrated in a number of mediums (including
oil paint, watercolor, pen and ink, and pencil) to mirror the breadth of ideas and
tones the story deals with.
Succe$$ is a post-9/11 story about a new breed of young capitalists. Theyre
eco-friendly, gadget-obsessed, and they scorn the gaucheness and vanity of the
Gordon Gekko yuppies. Theyre Reagan babies, programmed to Just Say No
and Just Do It at the same time. If you looked at the back seat of their Priuses,
youd find well-t humbed copies of Atlas Shrugged.
Karl Stevens is a graphic novelist and painter. His first book, Guilty, was published in 2004 with a grant from the Xeric Foundation. He is also the author of
Whatever (2008), The Lodger (a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, 2010),
and Failure (2013).

Ages 3 and up
This book is fearless and luminous and full of grace; it travels to the edge of
death and finds life there. Its attention to the particulars of lovebetween the
ones who will go and the ones they will leaveis something close to sublime.
Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams
A nurse sleeps at the bedside of his dying patients; a wife deceives her husband
by never telling him he has cancer; a bedridden man has to be hidden from his
demented and amorous eighty-year-old wife. In her poignant and genre-busting
debut, Susana Moreira Marques confronts us with our own mortality and inspires
us to think about what is important.
Accompanying a palliative care team, Moreira Marques travels to Trs-os-
Montes, a forgotten corner of northern Portugal, a rural area abandoned by the

Losing her son in a lorry accident, a woman abandons her lover and her life on
the Mexican border and becomes a domestic servant in Madrid; following an
awkward mnage--trois, a timber agent is blackmailed into introducing his
lovers boyfriend to his best client; a depressed, misfit French teacher rejects
the overtures of students and would-be lovers; all the while sharp-eyed young
Araceli watches over everything from her decrepit apartment.
Nesting stories within stories, setting Bret Easton Ellis among his fellow mutts
and enigmatic, love-hungry, dying Alba Camb among her several lovers, Lina
Wolff can really throw her readers a sucker punch.
Upstairs/downstairs distinctions blur as Wolffs adroit and subtle novel turns
the tables, allowing servants and subordinates to dominate their masters. With a
Bolao-esque humor Wolff asks, what chance does love have in this dog-eat-dog
world?

More than just a cookbook, Decolonize Your Diet redefines what is meant by
traditional Mexican food by reaching back through hundreds of years of his
tory to reclaim heritage crops as a source of protection from modern diseases
of development. Authors Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel are life part
ners;when Luz was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, they both radic ally
changed their diets and began seeking out recipes featuring healthy, vegetar
ian Mexican foods (Luzs cancer is now in remission). They promote a diet that
is rich in plants indigenous to the Americas (corn, beans, squash, greens, herbs,
and seeds), and are passionate about the idea that Latinos in America, spe
cifically Mexicans, need to ditch the fast food and return to their own cultures
food roots for both physical health and spiritual fulfillment.
This vegetarian cookbook features 120 colorful, delicious recipes from the
Mexican American palate and also includes contributions from other Latin
American cultures, such as Guatemalan-Style Pepian Stew, Speckled Bean and
Hominy Stew, Amaranth and Corn Tortillas with Chia Guacamole, and Aguachile
de Quinoa. Steeped in history but very much rooted in the contemporary world,
Decolonize Your Diet will introduce readers to the the comforting, healing proper
ties of a plant-based Mexican American diet.
Full-color throughout.
Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel are professors at California State East
Bay and San Francisco State University, respectively. They grow fruits, vege
tables, and herbs on their small urban farm. This is their first book.

Emmanuel Moynot
Suite Franaise, an extraordinary novel about village life in France just as it was
plunged into chaos with the German invasion of 1940, was a publishing sensa
tion ten years ago; Irne Nmirovsky completed the two-volume book, part of a
planned larger series, in the early 1940s before she was arrested in France and
eventually sent to Auschwitz, where she died. The notebook containing the nov
els was preserved by her daughters but not examined until 1998; it was finally
published in France in 2004 and became a huge international bestseller, includ
ing in the United States, where it has sold over one million copies.
This dramatic and stirring graphic novel, translated from the French and
faithful to the spirit of Nmirovskys story, focuses on Book 1, entitled Storm in
June, in which a disparate group of Paris citizens flees the city ahead of the ad
vancing German troops. However, their orderly plans to escape are eclipsed by
the chaos spreading across the country, and their sense of civility and well-being
is replaced by a raw desire to survive.
A film version of Suite Franaise, starring Michelle Williams, Kristen Scott
Thomas, and Margot Robbie, will be released in the United Kingdom this spring
and in the United States this fall.
Emmanuel Moynot is a graphic artist and the author of more than forty graphic
novels published in France.

Durcan takes us right into the nub of the neuroscientific conception of the

[Durcan] writes with an ease reminiscent of Graham Greene.Library Journal
A riveting blend of science and suspense, perfect for fans of David Baldacci
and John le Carr.Booklist
Martin, an acclaimed architect, emerges from a coma after a roadside accident to
find his world transformed: not only has the commission of a lifetime been taken
from him, but his injury has left him with neglect syndrome, a loss of spatial
awareness that has rendered him unfit to practice and unable to recognize the
extent of his illness. Despite support from his formerly estranged brother and
two grown daughters, his paranoia builds, alienating those closest to him. His
only solace is found in the parallels he draws between himself and gifted Soviet-
era architect Konstantin Melnikov, who survived Stalins disfavor by retreating
into obscurity. As Martin retraces Melnikovs life and his own fateful decisions,
he becomes increasingly unsettled, until the discovery of the harrowing truth
about the night of his accident hurtles him toward a deadly confrontation.
A gripping journey into the depths of a fractured mind, The Measure of Darkness
is ultimately a resonant tale of resilience and healing.
Liam Durcan is the author of Garcas Heart, winner of the Arthur Ellis Best First
Novel Award. He lives in Montreal, Quebec, where he works as a neurologist at
McGill University.

Delightfully lucid. . . . Ellard has a knack for distilling obscure scientific theories
into practical wisdom.The New York Times Book Review
[Ellard makes] even the most mundane entomological experiment or exegesis

As an architect . . . [Ellard] took me on a journey to places Id never even considered before.Sarah Susanka, author of The Not So Big House
Our surroundings can powerfully affect our thoughts, emotions, and physical responses, whether were awed by the Grand Canyon or Hagia Sophia, panicked in a
crowded room, soothed by a walk in the park, or tempted in casinos and shopping
malls. In Places of the Heart, Colin Ellard explores how our homes, workplaces,
cities, and natureplaces we escape to and cant escape fromhave influenced
us throughout history, and how our brains and bodies respond to different types
of real and virtual space. As he describes the insight he and other scientists have
gained from new technologies, he assesses the influence these technologies will
have on our evolving environment and asks what kind of world we are, and should
be, creating.
Colin Ellard is the author of You Are Here: Why We Can Find Our Way to the
Moon, but Get Lost in the Mall. A cognitive neuroscientist at the University of
Waterloo and director of its Urban Realities Laboratory, he lives in Kitchener,

Ian McGillis may well have grown up in the whitest place in North America:
Edmonton, Alberta, in the 1970s and 80s. Yet, through a series of fort uitous
accidents he became exposed to the world of black musicfi rst soul and Motown,
then reggae, then hip-hopa nd it became a lifelong passion.
In three partsbuilt around Stevie Wonders Innervisions, The Congos
Heart of The Congos, and Nas IllmaticHigher Ground recounts his love affair
with each form. McGillis does not shy away from the tough questions: What is
the line between sincere appreciation and cultural appropriation? Can a white
person truly understand soul, reggae, and hip-hop? Can a black form cross
over without losing its essence? His answers to each of these questions, and
many more, are thoughtful and illuminating, and may well leave the reader rethinking some of his own assumptions.
Reminiscent of the best writing of Griel Marcus and John Jeremiah Sullivan
and mixing memoir, cultural history, and musical and cultural theory in a fresh
and readable way, Higher Ground offers up a real life The Commitments and a life-
study in musical appreciation.
Ian McGillis resides in Montreal, is the author of the best-selling novel A Tourists
Guide to Glengarry, and writes a weekly books column for the Montreal Gazette.

Essays
Mark Kingwell
Mark Kingwell is the rare philosopher who is as at home discussing Sex and the
City as he is civility, who can find the Plato in pop culture, and sees in idleness
a deeply revolutionary gesture. In Democracys Gift, he brings his heady mixture
of critical intelligence and infectious enthusiasm to bear on film, aesthetics, politics, and more, and confirms his place as one of our leading cultural theorists and
philosophers.
After some years of graduate education in Britain and the United States, Mark
Kingwell found a form of idling for which he could get paid as a professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto.

As the world becomes increasingly complex and complicated, simplicity is increasingly in demand. We all seek simplicity in small or large measure. We strive
to create simplicity at work and at home. Simplicity: A Matter of Design offers a
set of terms that allows us to discuss simplicity in design with precision. It looks
into the basics of simplicity and researches more in depth three aspects of
design: functionality (simplicity for comfort), aesthetics (simplicity for pleasure), and ethics (simplicity for conscience). There is an extra chapter on simplicity in communication.

Backstairs Billy
The Life of William Tallon
the Queen Mothers Most Devoted Servant
Tom Quinn
One of the nations best kept secrets, life behind the gates of Buckingham Palace
is subject to worldw ide speculation. In this book Tom Quinn traces the fascinating relationship between the Queen Mother and her most devoted servant.
William Tallon, who died in 2007, was a shopkeepers son from the Midlands
who rose through the ranks to work for the Queen Mother for more than fifty
years. Known as Backstairs Billy, he was charming, amusing, occasionally
bitchya nd extremely promiscuous.
Billy adored her and she adored Billy; perhaps because of his high-camp style
and outrageous remarks about the well-born equerries, royal press people, and
advisers, but mostly because he made her gin and tonics just the way she liked
themn ine-tenths gin and one-tenth tonic.
Outrageously funny, scandalous, sometimes shocking, but always fascinating,
this is the royal family through the eyes of one of its most extroverted servants.
Tom Quinn is the author of many titles including Londons Strangest Tales, Cocoa
at Midnight: The Real Life Story of My Time as a Housekeeper, and The Cooks Tale:
Life Below Stairs as it Really Was. He also writes occasional obituaries for the
Times and edits Country Business magazine.

was converted to the cause of womens suffrage. Constance changed her life, rejected her aristocratic background, and acquired a purpose. As an activist Lytton
disguised her identity to avoid privileged treatment and when arrested, and subsequently jailed, went on hunger strike, being force-fed eight times. Constance
Lytton became both an inspiration and a martyr.

An Inconvenient Genocide
Who Now Remembers the Armenians?
First Trade Paper Edition
Geoffrey Robertson QC
Geoffrey Robertson sets out to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that
the Armenian massacres were a crime amounting to genocide.
With a brilliant display of forensic advocacy, one of the greatest legal minds
on the international stage forces a shameful but inconvenient truth upon the
world.Helena Kennedy, QC
Winner Polemic of the Year, The Paddy Power Political Book Awards 2015
On April 24th, 2015 people around the world commemorated the centenary of
the death of over one million Armenians. In their eyes, and in those of many
around the world, they will be remembering a genocide perpetrated by the
Ottoman Empire. Turkey has always explained the dead as simply victims of a
vicious civil war, and continues to this day to refuse to acknowledge the events
as constituting genocide.
This argument has become, in turn, an international issue. Twenty national
parliaments in democratic countries have voted to recognize the genocide, but
Britain and the United States continue to equivocate for fear, it would seem, of
alienating their NATO ally.
In this seminal book, Geoffrey Robertson QC, a former UN appeals judge,
sets out to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the massacres and deportations
were a crime against humanity which amounted to genocide.
Geoffrey Robertson, QC, is founder and head of Doughty Street Chambers,
the UKs leading human rights legal practice. A barrister, academic, author, and
broadcaster, Robertson is the author of several books including The Justice Game
and Mullahs Without Mercy. He lives in London, England.

Anti-Semitism
Frederic Raphael
68
The Jews are at once privileged and peculiar, possibly blessed, regularly cursed.
So why have a few million human beings, of differing appearance, allegiance, and
ideology been lumped together as The Enemy in so many programs for salvation, in this world and the next?
The rejection of Jesus turned the Chosen into the Damned, and in this
sense, the rise of Christianity and the damnation of the Jews went hand in hand.
Yet both Christianity and Islam cannot entirely deny that their doctrines are
based on Judaism.
Religious pundits have claimed that the doctrine of anti-Semitism is a feature of the Enlightenment. Now, years later, what Adolf Hitler failed to do, others
wish to complete. Anti-Judaism had a successor in anti-Semitism, and anti-
Semitism has in turn mutated into anti-Israelism. Israel, like the Jew, is the target of choice for those who hope to be covered in glory by casting the first stone.
In this extraordinary, powerful polemic, celebrated writer Frederic Raphael
looks back through two millennia of persecution, explaining not only exactly
why it is people have been killing Jews for so long, but how this religion con
tinues to survive and flourish in spite of this history of violence.

Refusing the Veil
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
Many Muslims worldwide either support or adopt religious veiling, and those who
argue against it are often criticized, or worse. But, according to Yasmin Alibhai-
Brown, the veil throws up a number of concerns, from questions of health and
freedom of choice, to issues of gender and personal identity.
She argues that veiling conceals abuse, propagates eating disorders, and restricts access to sunlight and exercise. It is imposed on babies and young girls, allows women to be shamed for not covering up, and has become associated with
extremist factions. It demonizes men, oppresses feminism, and presents obstacles
to performance and success. It even encourages racism, distorts Muslim values,
and strips women of autonomy and individuality.
Written from a unique perspective, and packed with personal experiences as
well as public examples, Yasmin addresses the ultimate question: why Muslim
women everywhere should refuse the veil.
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is a journalist, broadcaster, writer, and professor of journalism at Middlesex University. She is a regular columnist for the Independent
and the Daily Mail and a past winner of the Orwell Prize for Journalism.
Provocations is a groundbreaking new series of short polemics composed by
some of the most intriguing voices in contemporary culture. Never less than
sharp, intelligent, and controversial, the series provides insightful contributions

Down with the Royals
Joan Smith
Joan Smith makes the argument for the end of the monarchy
and for an elected head of state in Britain.
After Diana, there seemed some hope that Britain would finally grow up and get
rid of the monarchy, a symbol of inequality and privilege. But the royals have been
smart and were able to cleverly re-invent and thus re-establish the institution.
Now with William, Kate, and baby George, it has become almost treasonable to
argue for an elected head of state. But that is exactly why it must be done, according to Joan Smith.
Joan Smith is a columnist, novelist, and human rights activist. She is the author
of Moralities, the highly praised and celebrated Misogynies, most recently The
Public Woman, and five detective novels. She is co-chair of the Mayor of Londons
Violence Against Women and Girls panel.

Double Cross in Cairo
The True Story of the Spy Who Turned the Tide
of War in the Middle East
Nigel West
Using declassified files, Nigel West explores the heroic exploits of one of
the Second World Wars most closely guarded secrets.
As part of the infamous Double Cross operation, Jewish double agent Renato Levi
proved to be one of the Allies most devastating weapons in World War Two.
In 1941, with the help of Ml6, Levi built an extensive spy ring in North Africa
and the Middle East. But, most remarkably, it was entirely fictitious. This network
of imagined informants peddled dangerously false misinformation to Levis unwitting German handlers. His efforts would distort any enemy estimates of Allied
battle plans for the remainder of the war.
His communications were infused with just enough truth to be palatable, and
just enough imagination to make them irresistible. In a vacuum of seemingly
trustworthy sources, Levis enemies not only believed in the CHEESE network,
as it was codenamed, but they came to depend upon it. And, by the wars conclusion, he could boast of having helped the Allies thwart Erwin Rommel in North
Africa, as well as diverting whole armies from the D-Day landing sites. He wielded
great influence and, as a double agent, he was unrivaled.
Until now, Levis deceptions and feats of derring-do have remained completely
hidden. Using recently declassified files, Double Cross in Cairo uncovers the heroic
exploits of one of the Second World Wars most closely guarded secrets.
Nigel West is a military historian specializing in security and intelligence topics. He sits on the editorial board of the International Journal of Intelligence and
Counter-Intelligence and Global War Studies and, for the past three years, he has
chaired the panel of judges for the annual St. Ermins Intelligence Book of the

case that is none of her business. Every day, a beautiful woman lunches alone
in the restaurant next to the bookstore. When the woman is found dead in her

Sani Ankaraligil was an attractive young woman and a politically active ecolo
gist in the middle of a divorce from her wealthy husband. So who would benefit
from her death? The industrial companies Sani had accused of polluting the rivers of Western Turkey, or her jealous husband seeking revenge through an honor

outright criminal.

sport, either for the first time, or as a lifestyle. Get Muddy is a whats-it-like
book more than a how-to, though there are practical tips aplenty throughout.
OCR is the new series of events for people who have become bored with merely
running a marathon, or doing a triathlon, or, say, completing Army boot camp.
OCR involves a constantly changing combination of such challenges as: crawling
under barbed wire, jumping over fire, spear throw, wall scaling, electric shocks,
ice water bathsa ll while running a course that may be anywhere from three to
ten miles, or more.
Participation numbers for OCR are booming. Having started just a few
years ago, Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, and Warrior Dash now see over a million participants per year combined. And new OCR series spring up constantly,
like Mudderella (for women only), Civilian Military Combine, Savage Race, and
Rugged Maniac.
Just as marathons and 10Ks saw a huge national running boom, we are now
at the dawn of a huge OCR boom. Get Muddy will appeal to everyone from the
mildly curious to the wildly committed.

While Living Aboard a Trawler
Felicia Scheiderhan
A young woman meets an amazing guy, falls in love, and they move in together.
Straightforward enough, right? Except he lives on a boata thirty-eight-foot
trawler, docked in Chicago. Their relationship is intensified by living in a tiny
space, and by the neverending quirks of the boat, who becomes a third party in
the marriage. There are electrical failures, pump failures, big waves, and freezing
winters . . . not to mention the attack goose. Felicia Schneiderhan has a fine literary sensibility and manages to be both funny and deeply serious in writing about
boats and love and relationships.

Addiction and recovery are, at their core, about the meaning of life. Life on the
Rocks is the first book to address addiction and recovery from a Western philosophical perspective, offering a powerful set of tools sharpened over millennia.
It introduces some of the core concepts and vexing questions of philosophy to
help addicts and those affected by their addiction examine and perhaps transform the meaning they make of their lives.
Without assuming any familiarity with philosophy, Dr. Peg OConnor illuminates issues all addicts and their loved ones face: self-identity, moral responsibility, self-k nowledge and self-deception, free will and determinism, fatalism, the
nature of God, and their relations to others. Life on the Rocks is an indispensable
guide to the deeply philosophical concerns at the heart of every addicts struggle.
Peg OConnor, PhD, is professor of philosophy and gender, women, and sexuality studies at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota. She is the author of the
popular Psychology Today blog Philosophy Stirred, Not Shaken and contributor to the Pro Talk series at Rehabs.com.

Youth subculture in twentieth-century Britain was a unique phenomenon. Through
out the decades, young people sought to define themselves sartorially, reflecting
their identity in terms of regionalism, class, and crucially, musical taste, through
their clothes. This book is a comprehensive survey of forty-fi ve tribes that
roamed the streets of Britain from the 60s to the 90s. From Mod to Skinhead
and Rocker to Rudeboy, the look of each movement is captured in meticulously
researched, previously unpublished archive photography.
Explanatory texts by Sam Knee as well as an illustrated look-book appen
dix make this an important resource for fashion students, musos, and cultural
historians.

1973. Thats fourteen years of prison time after Delpha Wade killed a man who
was raping her. She wanted to kill the other one too, but he got away. So its hard
to find a decent job. But Delphas persistence pays off. She lands a secretarial
job with Tom Phelan, a neophyte private eye. Delpha is smart and prison-w ise
to human nature. Phelan is a Vietnam vet and an ex-roughneck who lost a finger
working the oil rigs out in the Gulf. Together Phelan and Delpha stumble into
the dark side of Beaumont, a small blue-collar Cajun city dominated by Big Oil.
A mysterious client plots mayhem against company men whose new oilfield
product is set to rock the industry. Teenage boys are disappearing and Phelan,
following his hunches, uncovers a menagerie of exotic animals and a serial
killer. And Delphaon a weekend outinglooks into the eyes of her rapist,
the one who got away. The novels conclusion is classic noir, full of surprise,
excitement, and karmic justice. Lisa Sandlins elegant prose, twisting through
the dark thickets of human passion, allows Delpha to open her heart again to the
wonders of friendship, compassion, and human sexuality.
Lisa Sandlins story Phelans First Case was anthologized in Lone Star Noir and
was later re-a nthologized in Akashics Best of the Noir series, USA Noir. The DoRight is her first full-length mystery. Lisa was born in Beaumont, currently lives
and teaches in Omaha, Nebraska, and summers in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

After the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Reverend Robert Spike stepped
away from the media spotlight and from civil rights politics. As director of the
National Council of Churches, he had organized churches to support the passage of both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. He collaborated
with major civil rights leaders on strategy, and he helped the LBJ White House
craft legislation and the Presidents civil rights speeches, especially on the Voting
Rights Act. Then in Columbus, Ohio, he was viciously murdered. The murder
was never solved. Very little effort went into finding the murderer. The Columbus
police and the FBI put a special spin on the storythey hinted the unsolved murder was the brutal end of a gay relationship. During his fathers rise in the civil
rights movement, Paul Spike lived a life eerily similar to Holden Caulfieldsa
young intellectual lost in the labyrinth of booze, drugs, and girls. At Columbia
University, he was on the fringes of the S.D.S. Movement. That rootless life
ended with his fathers murder. He began his search for the meaning of his
fathers life and death.
In the new afterword, Spike says, Murder is an indelible stain on a family. It
never fades. After fifty years, I understand why I tried to do this. And why I left
America. I still dream of justice for my father.
Paul Spike lives in London where he writes about politics, literature, film, and
travel for a wide range of newspapers and magazines.
From the foreword, Freight Train: Being an immigrant from Spain who spoke
mostly Spanish but who wanted to become full-fledged American, I also wanted
to make my poems from ordinary, spoken English, without excessively rhetorical devices, the kind of language spoken by my first heroes in America, my uncle
Arthur and his buddies who would meet at his gas station regularly to shoot
craps, drink Ballantine Ale, and recall their youthful adventures as merchant
seamen, the real language of men, as William Wordsworth called it. This would
be a natural American-English language that an ordinary American in a heightened state of emotion might actually speak, a language heightened just enough
to draw attention to itself but not so much that it would sound artificially poetic,
the kind of language a later hero of mine, Jack Kerouac, used.
The Trees
Sitting here among my friends
the trees, I feel their
quietude, the gratitude
they show by holding out
their limbs, generously
allowing the moss to grow
on them, and squirrels and birds to
build nests in their crowns.
They dont seem to mind my
sitting here, maybe sensing
how much I value their
contemplative nature,
their general satisfaction
with the way things are.
Rooted to their one place
in the woods, they dont
crave something better,
nor complain about the weather.
They stand tall and straight,
side by side accepting
whatever comes.

Incantations
Tim Wise
A scalding indictment of how the wealthy influence the national
economy, politics, and media to disadvantage those less fortunate.
One of the most brilliant, articulate, and courageous critics of white privilege
in the nation.M ichael Eric Dyson
Tim Wise is one of Americas most prolific public intellectuals. His critically acclaimed books, high-profile media interviews, and year-round speaking schedule
have established him as a leading voice for racial equity. In Under the Affluence,
Wise builds on his fierce 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 have 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 underlying forces that perpetuate it.
In doing so, he demonstrates how classism, racism, and sexism are inextricably
linked, and how popular culture contributes to a deepening indifference to those
who are struggling. Finally, Wise shows that far from a culture of poverty, it is the
culture of affluence and power that deserves the blame for Americas simmering
economic and social crises.
Tim Wise is the author of many books, including Dear White America and
Colorblind.

Private Roy Scranton survived his missions in Iraq by telling himself he was already dead. Meditating on ancient samurai manuals provided him the clarity needed to see through the chaos roiling all around him. Once back home,
Scranton hoped hed be far away from turmoil, but quickly realized that such
freedom is no longer possible: not only does global warming now present a far
more serious threat than terrorism, we humans have become our own worst
enemy. The increasing chaos of the world we now live int he Anthropocene
therefore demands a whole new vision of human life and living.
In this bracing, visionary response to the urgent challenges of global warming,
Scranton explores what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world, taking readers on a journey through millennia of geological history, the latest findings of earth scientists, raucous street protests, a historic UN summit, and great
works of ancient literature. Expanding on his explosive New York Times essay
the #1 most-emailed article the day it appearedthis provocative book explores
the existential challenges we pose both to ourselves and the living planet as well
as the redemptive roles culture and the humanities offer our common future.
A war veteran, journalist, author, and Princeton PhD candidate, Roy Scranton
has published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and
Boston Review, and has been interviewed on NPRs Fresh Air, Fox News, and
other media.

Lord Richard Buckley, His Royal Hipness, a.k.a. the Charlie Parker of Talk,
was an American performer, recording artist, and hip poet/comic who, in the
1940s and 50s, created a character that was, according to the New York Times,
an unlikely persona . . . part English royalty, part Dizzy Gillespie. Buckleys
unique stage persona anticipated aspects of the Beat Generations sensibility, and
influenced figures as various as Ken Kesey, George Harrison, Tom Waits, Lenny
Bruce, and Robin Williams. Bob Dylan, in his book Chronicles, wrote: Buckley
was the hipster bebop preacher who defied all labels.
Buckley was immensely popular, appearing multiple times on televisions
Tonight Show Starring Steve Allen and The Ed Sullivan Show, among others.
Presenting himself as a jazz philosopher, hemp-headed hipster, and Guru of
the Gone World, his speech flowed with jazz rhythms and surreal elaboration.
Buckley enchanted audiences with his endlessly inventive monologues, and
Hiparama of the Classics presents seven of his best-k nown routines, satirizing
Shakespeare (Willie the Shake), the Marquis de Sade (The Mark), Mahatma
Ghandi (The Hip Ghan), Jesus (The Nazz), Cabeza de Vaca (The Gasser),
and others.
First published in 1960, this new expanded edition contains, in addition to
Buckleys hip-semantic raps, a new foreword by Al Young; a selection of letters between Lord Buckley and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, his editor and publisher; and photographs by legendary music photographers Jim Marshall, Jerry Stoll, and others.
Lord Richard Buckley was born in 1906 and died in New York City in 1960.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Lawrence Ferlinghetti has influenced American culture like few other poets.
But in 1955, shortly before he would gain fame as the beloved author of A Coney
Island of the Mind, he was an unpublished and mostly unknown poet. He
launched City Lights Publishers that year with a five-hundred-copy letterpress
edition of Pictures of the Gone World, number one in the Pocket Poets series.
A classic collection of early work, Pictures includes many of Ferlinghettis most
iconic poems. This limited edition sixtieth anniversary hardcover restores the
book to its original selection, and is a must for collectors and fans.

Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition
Karen Finley
Karen Finley is notorious, controversial, and fearless in confronting taboos.
Shock Treatment is her first book, published by City Lights in 1990, just as she
became internationally famous for being denied an NEA grant due to perceived
obscenity in her work. A collection of blistering monologues and essays, Shock
Treatment captures the drama and fragility of the AIDS era and distills the
emotional turmoil of that time. This twenty-fi fth anniversary expanded edition
features a new introduction in which Finley looks at legacies of censorship and
the struggle for freedom of expression.

Jean-Patrick Manchette
Translated by James Brook
Now a major motion picture starring Sean Penn, Javier Bardem,
Idris Elba, and Ray Winstone. This is the official movie tie-in edition.
For Manchette and the generation of writers who followed him, the crime novel
is no mere entertainment, but a means to strip bare the failures of society, ripping
through veils of appearance, deceit, and manipulation to the greed and violence
that are the societys true engines.The Boston Globe
Theres not a superfluous word or overdone effect . . . one of the last cool, compact and shockingly original crime novels Manchette left as his legacy to modern
noir fiction.The New York Times
Martin Terrier is a hired killer who wants out of the game, so he can settle down
and marry his childhood sweetheart. But the Organization wont let him go: they
have other plans for him. In a violent tale that shatters as many illusions as bodies,
Jean-Patrick Manchette subjects his characters and the reader alike to a fierce exercise in style. This tightly plotted, corrosive parody of the success story is widely
considered to be Manchettes masterpiece, and was named a New York Times
Notable Book in 2002. The Gunman is a classic of modern noir.
Jean-Patrick Manchette was a French crime novelist credited with reinventing
and reinvigorating the genre. He wrote ten short novels in the 1970s and early
80s, and is widely recognized as the foremost French crime fiction author of
that time. His stories are violent, existentialist explorations of the human condition and French society. A jazz saxophonist and screenwriter, Manchette was
also a left-w ing activist influenced as much by the writings of the Situationist
International as by Dashiell Hammett.

Christian Bk
Enciphered in a bacterium, The Xenotext
is the worlds first living poem.
Many artists seek to attain immortality through their art, but few would expect
their work to outlast the human race and live on for billions of years. As Canadian
poet Christian Bk has realized, it all comes down to the durability of your
materials.The Guardian
Internationally best-selling poet Christian Bk has spent more than ten years
writing what promises to be the first example of living poetry. After successfully demonstrating his concept in a colony of E. coli, Bk is on the verge of
enciphering a beautiful, anomalous poem into the genome of an unkillable bacterium (Deinococcus radiodurans), which can, in turn, read his text, responding to it by manufacturing a viable, benign protein, whose sequence of amino
acids enciphers yet another poem. The engineered organism might conceivably
serve as a post-apocalyptic archive, capable of outlasting our civilization.
Book I of The Xenotext constitutes a kind of demonic grimoire, providing
a scientific framework for the project with a series of poems, texts, and illustrations. A Virgilian welcome to the Inferno, Book I is the orphic volume in a
diptych, addressing the pastoral heritage of poets, who have sought to supplant
nature in both beauty and terror. The book sets the conceptual groundwork for
the second volume, which will document the experiment itself. The Xenotext is
experimental poetry in the truest sense of the term.
Christian Bk is the author of Crystallography (1994) and Eunoia (2001), which
won the Griffin Poetry Prize. He teaches at the University of Calgary in Alberta.

The problem of consciousness may just be a semantic one. The brain absorbs a sea of
sensory input, the tiniest fraction of which reaches the shore of our awareness. We pay
attention to what is most novel, most necessary at the time. At its most reductive, the
word consciousness refers to the synchronized firing of neurons across multiple areas
of the brain, the mental experience of attending.
But should consciousness be summed up simply by its subsconscious mechanism?
I would prefer a more imaginative answer.
After his father, Saul, undergoes brain surgery and slips into a coma, Howard
Akler begins to reflect on Sauls life, the complicated texture of consciousness,
and Aklers struggles with writing and his own unpredictable mind. With echoes
of Paul Austers The Invention of Solitude and Philip Roths Patrimony, Men of
Action treads the line between memoir and meditation, and is at once elegiac,
spare, and profoundly intimate.
Howard Akler is the author of The City Man, which was nominated for the Amazon
First Novel Award, the City of Toronto Book Award, and the Commonwealth
Writers Prize. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Most of the things Pillow really liked to do were obviously morally wrong. He wasnt
an idiot; clearly it was wrong to punch people in the face for money. But there had been
an art to it, and it had been thrilling and thoughtful for him. The zoo was also evil, a
jail for animals whod committed no crimes, but he just loved it. The way Pillow figured it, love wasnt about goodness, it wasnt about being right, loving the very best
person, or having the most ethical fun. Love was about being alone and making some
decisions.

Pillow loves animals. Especially the exotic ones. Which is why he chooses the
zoo for the drug runs he does as a low-level enforcer for a crime syndicate run
by Andr Breton. He doesnt love his life of crime, but he isnt cut out for much
else, what with all the punches to the head he took as a professional boxer. And
now that hes accidentally but sort-of happily knocked up his neighbor, he wants
to get out and go straight. But first theres the matter of some stolen coins, possibly in the possession of George Bataille, which leads Pillow on a bizarre caper
that involves kidnapping a morphine-addled Antonin Artaud, some corrupt
cops, a heavy dose of Surrealism, and a quest to see some giraffes.
Andrew Battershill is a writer and teacher currently living in Columbus, Ohio.
A graduate of the University of Torontos MA in creative writing program, he was
the fiction editor and co-founder of Dragnet Magazine.

Guano
Louis Carmain
Translated by Rhonda Mullins
Its 1862, and Spain is a little rueful about letting Peru have their independence.
Or, more importantly, letting Peru have the guanowhite goldon the
Chincha Islands. Simn is the ships recorder on a scientificokay, military
expedition when he meets, in Callao, the mysterious Montse. She asks of him
only that he write her letters. Which he utterly fails to do. As military tensions
escalate, so does Simns unabated lust for Montseeven if he cant bring himself
to do anything about it.
Louis Carmain lives in Gatineau, Quebec. Guano, his first novel, received the
prestigious Prix littraire des collgiens.
Rhonda Mullinss translation of Jocelyne Sauciers And the Birds Rained Down
was a 2015 CBC Canada Reads selection. She lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Even as vowels tremble in danger and worldly destruction repeats itself on the
horizon, Ardour reminds us that the silence pulsing within us is also a language of
connection. In these poems, intimacy with the other is another astonishment
a pleasant gasp, a pause that transforms light and breath into language and
threshold of fire. Since her first book appeared fifty years ago, Nicole Brossard
has left us breathless, expanding our notion of poetry and its possibilities.
Nicole Brossard is a poet, novelist, and essayist who has published more than
thirty books since 1965 that have been translated into several languages. She
has received two Governor Generals Awards for poetry, the Canada Councils
Molson Prize, le Prix Athanase-David, and the prestigious Chevalire de lOrdre
National du Qubec. She lives in Montreal, Quebec.
Angela Carr is a poet and translator. Her most recent book is Here in There.

Andy McGuire
These poems blur personal and corporate relations, salute lobby art, and mind
their mid-apocalypse manners in mosquito country, freewheeling across state
lines, equally at home in the halls of head office, lounging poolside, and marooned
on a rural route.
A wilderness of traditional and nontraditional forms, rebel rhyme, and irresistible lines, this dexterous collection is a swaggering beast with a palm-treed soul,
ruthlessly pursuing the whole hog of all elsewhere with eloquent delinquency.

A stuffed bears heart beats with the rhythm of a dead baby; Reno keeps receding
to the east no matter how far you drive; and in a mine on another planet, the dust
wont stop seeping in. In these stories, Brian Evenson unsettles us with the everyday and the extraordinaryt he terror of living with the knowledge of all we cannot know.
Praised by Peter Straub for going furthest out on the sheerest, least sheltered
narrative precipice, Brian Evenson has been a finalist for the Edgar Award, the
Shirley Jackson Award, and the World Fantasy Award, and is the winner of the
International Horror Guild Award, the American Library Associations award
for Best Horror Novel, and one of Time Out New Yorks top books.

Coffee House Presss upcoming book, titled Cat is Art Spelled Wrong, takes the
opportunity to examine a seemingly irrelevant subject from new perspectives
from the line is between reality/self on the internet to how cat videos demonstrate either that nothing matters, or that any art matters if anyone thinks
it does. Thus, its an earnest attempt to uncover more about human nature
especially in todays internet-d riven world.Cool Hunting
Fifteen writers, all addressing not just our fascination with cat videos, but also
how we decide what is good or bad art, or art at all; how taste develops, how that
can change, and why we love or hate something. Its about people and technology and just what it is about cats that makes them the internets cutest despots.

Last Days
Brian Evenson
Introduction by Peter Straub
The deceptively simple prose keeps the book brisk and even gripping as its
puzzles grow more craggy and complex. This is Evensons singular, Poe-l ike gift:
He writes with intelligence and a steady hand, even when his characters decide
to lop their own limbs off.Time Out New York
When Kline is kidnapped by a dark sect that believes amputation brings you
closer to God, hes tasked with uncovering who murdered their leader. Will he
uncover the truth in time to save himself, take on the mantle of prophet, or destroy all he sees with a rain of biblical violence?

The Long Road of Sand
Pier Paolo Pasolini and Philippe Sclier
In the summer of 1959, Pier Paolo Pasolini traveled the entire Italian coastline
at the wheel of a Fiat 1100. His diary, The Long Road of Sand, was published in
three installments in the magazine Successo. Forty years after the authors death,
the photographer Philippe Sclier revisits this journey in his series of black-andwhite photographs. This book presents the full text of Pasolinis The Long Road
of Sand, including numerous unpublished passages, together with the original
typescript.
Pier Paolo Pasolini (192275) was an Italian poet, journalist, filmmaker, scriptwriter, actor, songwriter, and writer. He is considered one of the major Italian
artists and intellectuals of twentieth century.

Dean Young challenges the reader to hang on as he jigs from one poetic style
to another and sets a wondrous course across a Duchampian landscape.
Chicago Tribune
In Youngs work, the big essential questionsmortality, identity, the meaning of lifearent simply food for thought; theyre grounds for entertainment.
The Sunday Star (Toronto)
Dean Young escorts his transplanted heart into invigorating poetic territory that
combines the joy of being alive with his signature mixture of surrealism, humor,
and fast-cut imagery. A Pulitzer finalist known for his hard-won insights, NPR
said it best when they observed that Young sees even in the smallest things the
heights of what we can be.
From Harvest:
Bring me the high heart of a trapezist.
If not, bring me the heart of a drunk monk
so I may illuminate an ancient text
in a language I cant understand.
The brain too is blood, blood racing
100 miles an hour on training wheels
so let me splash through a red puddle,
let me kiss the face of a red puddle,
let me write my crazed, extreme demands
on the frost-cracked window of gods split
chest . . .

His poems succeed on the basis of an open heart and a still-ravenous appetite for

Harrison doesnt write like anyone else, relying entirely on the toughness of
his vision and intensity of feeling.Publishers Weekly
Harrisons essential honesty is deeply affecting.Library Journal
The title Dead Mans Float is inspired by a technique used by swimmers to conserve energy when exhausted, to rest up for the long swim to shore. In his fourteenth volume of poetry, Jim Harrison presents keen awareness of physical
pains, delights in the natural world, and reflects on humanitys tentative place
in a universe filled with ninety billion galaxies. By turns mournful and celebratory, these fearless and exuberant poems accomplish what Harrisons poems always do: wake us up to the possibilities of being fully alive.

The poet wants to know what happened next. After the flood subsides, when
the world grew back, in the place of dials and switches, inside the constraints of
earthly time where faces crack, flesh sags and fish stink. She understands that
conflict is easier than kindness.C.D. Wright, from the introduction
Divinity School, winner of the prestigious Honickman First Book Award from
the American Poetry Review, is a wide-ranging exploration of spirituality, sex,
travel, food, holy texts, and coming of age. Poet Alicia Jo Rabins brings a searing eye for surreal beauty in everyday life with a deep knowledge of wisdom literature, and creates a modern manual for living, a fearless investigation of how

Sometimes you see the leaves as birds who have traveled all night and come to rest
at dawn. Sometimes you feel the space between molecules of honey. Sometimes you
are at the airport. Sometimes you are at the hospital. You find your seat an hour
before sunrise and watch polar bears swim slowly underwater through the glass. Oh
immigration, oh fluorescent lights, the surgeons rubber gloves, brush-tips of death
against your cheek. This country stamps your passport and hands it back forever
changed.

Between You and Me
Scott Nadelson
Every night, after the kids have gone to bed, he searches for their shoes. They might be
anywhere: under the family room couch, in the middle of the kitchen floor, on the basement landing, or if its warm enough, out on the lawn, growing damp with dew. This is
one of his contributions to the efficient running of the household, maybe his most important contribution, though not the most visible. If anyone has noticed, none has said
a word. He performs the task quietly, without announcing himself, and takes private
pleasure in knowing how useful he has been.
Paul Haberman was happy living alone in the city until he met Cynthia, an enchanting suburban single mother. After he moves to New Jersey to marry her,
Pauls life reshapes itself dramatically around his new family and home, evolving over the years in ways he could never have imagined. In this funny, moving,
episodic novel, Scott Nadelson reveals the quiet beauty, doubt, and longing of
a blended familys life in the unglamorous American suburbs.
Scott Nadelson is the author of three story collections, most recently Aftermath,
and a memoir, The Next Scott Nadelson: A Life in Progress. Winner of the Reform
Judaism Fiction Prize, the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award,
and an Oregon Book Award, he teaches at Willamette University and in the
Rainier Writing Workshop MFA program at Pacific Lutheran University.

Ways to Spend the Night
Pamela Painter
Clare and her oldest friend from college had been planning this visit for the past three
months. But only yesterday, her arms full of towels and pillows, Clare realized that it
was too soon for her husbands study to become a guest room. First she needed to talk
through her anguish and anger at finding him there, slumped over his desk beside
the empty vials of pills, finding his folded note that said Clare.
A widower finds his stolen car and begins a relationship with the thief; a woman
whose sisters levy accusations against their dying father wonders why he chose
them, not her; a divorcing couple celebrates a final beach weekend with their
closest friends.
In fifteen stories of loss and recovery, including two Pushcart Prize winners,
Pamela Painter cements her status as a master of the contemporary story.

Off the Record with FDR
19421945
William D. Hassett
Roosevelt the antiquarian, the anecdotalist, the collector of books, the gentle
man farmer, the affable host . . . and important part of Roosevelt and one which
has not been so well documented before.A rthur Schlesinger, Jr.
As a personal picture of Roosevelts lighter moments during the war, Hassetts
diary is unsurpassed.The Christian Science Monitor
It is Hassetts ability to observe . . . that gives the reader the sense of knowing
the real Roosevelt during those years.San Francisco Chronicle
William D. Hassett was an assistant secretary to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He left a
revelatory account of his three years of daily interaction with the President, ac
companying him on many train trips to and from Hyde Park, that remained en
tirely hidden to the press and most outsiders. Hassett was a newspaperman and
public relations executive who had a close relationship with FDR, who admired
his profound erudition and talent as a writer. At times the secretary, who scru
pulously recorded the comings and goings of innumerable visitors and dignitar
ies, secret and not, added some of his own observations and evaluations of one
person or another. Many of the slow train rides from a railroad siding kept se
cret to most people to Hyde Park were the occasion for visitors to come on board
along the way or for FDR to stop and spend some time in conference off the train.
These recorded chronicles are quoted in most historical works about Franklin D.
Roosevelt, particularly during the war years, as an unmatched treasure trove that
enhances the historical record.

The Jews in Fascist Italy: A History
Renzo De Felice
The first and classic major study published after the war
on anti-Semitism and the Holocaust in a single country.
My aim was to explain in detail the facts surrounding Fascist anti-Semitism and the
persecution of the Jews in Mussolinis Italy. Too many people in Italy and elsewhere
underestimate or deny the tragic fate of European Jewry and anti-Semitism between
the two world wars. A few short years ago anti-Semitism appeared defeated and reduced to a tiny group of fanatics. But now it seems to be regaining ground in its more
political incarnation, probably the most dangerous one, because next to the religious,
social and economic varieties it is the most insidious of all.

I Was There:
The Memoirs of FDRs Chief of Staff
William D. Leahy
Throughout almost five years from November, 1940, to the end of World War II in
September, 1945, my duties placed me at pivotal points in the high command that accomplished the defeat of our enemies against what at times seemed heavy odds. These
observations are based on participation in many historic discussions at which the course
of the war was charted and at which attempts were made to map the road to peace.
As Franklin D. Roosevelts chief of staff, Admiral William D. Leahy was in
volved in most of the key decisions and conferences that won the war and saw
the creation of the postwar world.

Look inside this world and find wonder.K ate Bernheimer, editor of Fairy
Tale Review
Blending the magic of fairy tales with the great existential mysteries, Tod Davies
leads us into a phantasmagorical world that resurrects the complex lore of times
past with vibrant narrative energy.M aria Tatar, editor of The Cambridge
Companion to Fairy Tales
Imaginative.Jack Zipes, author of The Irresistible Fairy Tale
Innovative form and spellbinding content. . . . Stories, as Tod Daviess History
of Arcadia novels ultimately suggest, serve as a civilizations backbone, and it
is therefore in stories too that we can discover the potential for fundamental
change and a better society.Marvels & Tales
Bittersweet. Lush. Human. The Lizard Princess crosses mountains, oceans, deserts, and the Moon Itself to meet her fate and the fate of Arcadia on the Road of
the Dead. Her reward is the Key that opens the door to the Domain of Life where
wisdom trumps knowledge, as it should in all good tales about the world, whether
Arcadias or our own.
Tod Davies is the author of Snotty Saves the Day and Lily the Silent, the first
two books in the History of Arcadia series, as well as the cooking memoirs
Jam Today: A Diary of Cooking With What Youve Got and Jam Today Too: The

This novel is book club gold. . . . The Cosmopolitans is a great group read
weighty dilemmas, unforgettable characters, and a roller-coaster plot!
Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow
A modern retelling of Honor de Balzacs classic Cousin Bette by one of Americas
most prolific and significant writers. Earl, a black, gay actor working in a meatpacking plant, and Bette, a white secretary, have lived next door to each other in
the same Greenwich Village apartment building for thirty years. Shamed and
disowned by their families, both found refuge in New York and in their domestic routine. Everything changes when Hortense, a wealthy young actress from
Ohio, comes to the city to make it. Textured with the grit and gloss of mid
century Manhattan, The Cosmopolitans is a lush, inviting read. The truths it
frames about the human need for love and recognition remain long after the
book is closed.

Lets Let That Are Not Yet : Inferno
Ed Pavlic
Youve been thinking to yourself that it all feels very American. Ed Pavlics tireless, resourceful speaker is American, of indeterminate race, implicated at every
conceivable point of entry into the struggles that go on here, which is everywhere, the Inferno of the title: if an //analogy affects an enemy then lets let //
inferno the enemy inferno the enemy.
In a Daybook of paper stapled together by George Oppen ca. 1964, he wrote:
There is the area of Lyricthe
area in which one is absolutely
convinced that ones emotions
are an insight into reality
and death
But valuesas they say
at a Dominican picnic, one summer back when there were only four of us, we sat on
a blanket watching the band. Stacey gets up and walks away and a woman sitting with
her kids and fourmaybe?sisters turns to me smiling and asks me a question in
Spanish. The other women turn to look at me. I say I dont understand. She : your wife,
she speaks es-Spaneesh? Me : no, not really. And she : Is she Dominican? And me:
no, shes black. The women bounce looks off each other and back to me. Kids oblivious.
She: jou mean black black? Me : yes, blackblack
the dark colour was so dark. . .
Ed Pavlic is associate professor of English and director of the MFA/PhD program
in creative writing at the University of Georgia.

Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror 2
Paul Legault
An uber-homage to primary texts and the
brilliant white gay male poets who write them.
In 1975 John Ashbery published Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror and the book
won the three major American prizest he Pulitzer, the National Book Award,
and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Now it has won an oppositional-
compliant ardent admirer in Paul Legault, who relates directly and dreamily to
each poem, from memory, face en face. The relationship is complicated.
From As One Put Drunk into the Packet-Boat 2:
I tried the immortal thingssome of them were free.

At least for a while, waiting for the light to do its thing: sift
Through the previously unwaded-through season

Anne Parian takes us down paths that always curve out of sight.
Knowing nothing about flora the large and small vegetation is represented by color or
contour
Leave the arrangements of a few shared places to their number
One unhappy hour the garden breaks away from the image of such irrefutable
diligence naming new patterns at its discretion
Anne Parian was born in 1964 and lives in Paris. She is the author of seven books
of poetry and hybrid works; she is also a photographer and video artist.

Horizontal Collaboration
The Erotic World of Paris, 19201946
Mel Gordon
Mel Gordon, author of Voluptuous Panic, the celebrated history about the sex
culture of Weimar Berlin, returns with a stunningly illustrated look at Paris, The
City of Pleasure, prior to and during German occupation during World War II.
The book Horizontal Collaboration encompasses the Jazz Age, Depression,
World War and Occupation, and Liberation. It concludes with the shuttering of
the licensed brothels in 1946, which some Parisian intellectuals thought was
the final destruction of French civilization.
The term Horizontal Collaboration refers to the sexual liaisons between
French civilians and German occupiers from 1940 to 1944. These were extremely
widespread and included both individual wartime relationships in addition to
prostitution. As Allied armies swept across the French countryside, thousands
of young womena nd some menwere savagely punished by the authorities
or by vigilante crowds, becoming a source of deep national shame.
Gordon redefines the pejorative term to mean something much broader:
French men and women horizontally collaborated to overcome all social ob
stacles, divisions, and regulations. These obstacles include married and un
married couples, straights and homosexuals, foreigners and locals, gun-toting
soldiers and their vanquished subjects. The natural yearning for sexual pleasure
equally corrupted all cohabitating partners.
This book rediscovers a remarkable time when the aesthetic and erotic capi
tol of Europe experienced remarkable heights and shameful lows. . . . Hundreds
of images, most never before seen in a book, encompass this fascinating but little-
known history.

Discos Out . . . Murders In!
The True Story of Frank the Shank
and L.A.s Deadliest Punk Rock Gang
182
Famous for its revolutionary aspects in musical, political, sexual identity, and
consumerist ideas, punk rock also has its lesser-k nown gangster ethos as well, ex
plained here by players in the various punk gangs.
The Los Angeles, Orange County, and South Bay punk scenes were popu
lated by blue collar kids who responded to the violence and aggression of punk
songs and shows. A number of them formed punk gangs that got into beatings,
drug dealing, and murder. Among them, no gang was more notorious than La
Mirada Punks, or LMP.
Says LMP chieftain Frank the Shank after getting arrested by police for
murder: After having my hands in so much bloodshed over the years, I most
certainly had it coming. I deserved whatever I got.
Unexpectedly Frank was bailed out from prison by his fathers friend, a mob
gangster.
Too many people died at the hands of punk rock violence, said Frank. I
got lucky, some didnt. As an ultra-v iolent punk rock gangster, I admit my part in
ruining the scene. L.A. punk was a magical moment of youth expression like no
other. And the gangs ruined punk rock. I still have people telling me today that
they quit punk because of LMP. I dig graves at a small cemetery just outside Los
Angeles. What else would you expect for Frank the Shank?

The White Nationalist
Skinhead Movement
UK & USA, 19791993
When Feral House first published the award-w inning Lords of Chaos: The Bloody
Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground, little was known about the black metal
genre of music, or how many of its members were involved in the murder of citi
zens, the torching of churches, or its link to Fascist ideas.
Weve all heard about the racist form of skinhead punk music, but little do we
know of the groups involved and how they got oriented in right-w ing political
movements.
The White Nationalist Skinhead Movement is the first book to provide much
more than mere photographs of the scene, documenting the bands, their mem
bers, the releases, shows, and infamous events. Robert Forbes and Eddie
Stampton can authoritatively speak of the movement, obtaining firsthand ma
terial from members of the scene.
This book covers both British and American bands, and even if you revile
the movement, its ideas, and its music, this is an important piece of pop culture
history.
Feral Houses controversial Lords of Chaos has sold over one hundred thou
sand copies.

Why Hope?
The Stand Against Civilization
John Zerzan
Introduction by Lang Gore
Controversial green anarchist John Zerzans latest blast
against technology, complete with an introduction by Lang Gore.
184
The infamous eco-anarchist John Zerzan, whose books have resulted in recent in
terviews by Vice and Believer magazines, checks in with further provocative ar
ticles about the chaotic results of civilization and technology.
Says novelist Lang Gore in his introduction:
The present collection of essays continues the overarching thrust of Johns
scholarship, unveiling the post-apocalyptic nature of our times by noting the
apocalypse was yesterday, several thousand years ago, to be precise, and that
nothing produced by civilization can ever redeem the systematic attempt it has
undertaken these (very) few millennia to destroy or alienate any human con
nection with the earth.
In fact, when civilized Europeans imposed themselves everywhere on
Earth, they created a terminal crisis for themselves by their very contact with
indigenous societies. Suddenly, those with eyes to see and ears to hear could
recognize that patriarchy, property and authority, and certainly slavery, were
neither necessary nor desirable, let alone determined by human nature.

Elephant: The Art Culture Magazine
Elephant is a quarterly magazine about art and visual culture. Featuring up-to-
the-m inute visual material, fresh faces, and original voices, the magazine covers
and uncovers new trends and talent.
The current art world is divided between the traditionally proper realm and
what is known as applied and commercial art. The most interesting work seems to
be happening in the middle of the two: when photographers, architects, designers, and creatives manage to transcend their initial brief and start thinking like
artists. Elephant documents when and how artists wander outside the confines
of the museum and gallery environment, becoming aware of trends and thinking like designers.
Direct, sincere, and multi-d isciplinary, Elephant aims to have more depth and
breadth than any other visual art magazine. It visits art and design studios, steps
on graffiti artists toes, rides fixed-gear bikes, plays with new computer games, disturbs rehearsals, and interrupts takes. The elephant is always in the room.

Postdigital Artisans
Craftsmanship With a New Aesthetic in
Fashion, Art, Design and Architecture
Jonathan Openshaw
Postdigital Artisans profiles sixty contemporary artists and designers,
accompanied by rich illustrations of their postdigital work.
Digital technology has irreversibly changed how we see, think, and act. A staggering number of us spend as much as half our waking hours online. Right now,
more people are gazing at a screen than looking out a window. As we are drawn
deeper into a symbiotic relationship with the digital, there is also a growing desire
for more tactile, immersive experiences. Touch screens dont eliminate the need to
touch something more palpable than an electronic visual display.
Its in this context that todays postdigital artisans operate. Inescapably
influenced by the digital world, they nonetheless reject strictly screen-based
design and total reliance on automated production, such as 3D printing. They
advocate a return to craft, with objects made from clay, metal, glass, and wood.
They neither turn their backs on technology nor glorify nostalgia, but the hightech honeymoon is over. They see materials as the heart of art, design, fashion,
and architecture.
Postdigital Artisans profiles sixty contemporary artists and designers, accompanied by rich illustrations of their work. Essays and interviews by and with leading figures such as Hans Ulrich Obrist, Nathan Jurgenson, and Glenn Adamson
deftly analyze all forms of postdigital creativity, from visual art and design to
architecture and urban planning.

Ancient Wyoming
A Dozen Lost Worlds Based on the Geology of the Bighorn Basin
Ever wondered what the ground below you was like millions of years ago? Merging paleontology, geology, and artistry, Ancient Wyoming brings to life scenes
from the distant past and provides fascinating details on the flora and fauna of
the past three hundred million years. The book provides a look back in time at
Wyoming, both as it is today and as it was throughout ancient history, at times
a vast ocean, a lush rain forest, and a mountain prairie.
Kirk Johnson is the Sant Director of the Smithsonians National Museum of
Natural History. He received his PhD in geology and paleobotany from Yale
University in 1989, and did postdoctoral research in the rainforests of northern
Australia before joining the Denver Museum of Natural History in 1991, where

Life in New York
How I Learned to Love Squeegee Men, Token Suckers,
Trash Twisters, and Subway Sharks
Laura Pedersen
Best-selling author Laura Pedersen serves up a
hilarious memoir about three decades of big city life.
Laura Pedersen, author of bestseller Play Money and award-w inning Buffalo Gal,
serves up a hilarious memoir about three decades of city life. Originally from
Buffalo, New York, friends thought the seventeen-year-old was suffering from
blizzard delirious when she left for Manhattan. Pedersen experiences her adopted city in the best and worst of times while becoming the youngest person
to have a seat on the stock exchange, performing stand-up comedy, and writing
a column in the New York Times. Neighborhoods that feature chai bars, Pilates
studios, and Gymboree were once drug dens, ganglands, and shantytowns. A
trip to Central Park often ended in Central Booking, identifying a perp in a lineup.
New Yorkers are as diverse as the city they so colorfully inhabit, cautious but
generous, brash but welcoming. Both are captured through the comedic eye of
Pedersen. Enjoy an uproarious romp down memory lane as the city emerges as
the modern metropolis we know today.

Gauguin to Picasso,
Masterworks from Switzerland
The Staechelin & Im Obersteg Collections
This is a unique chance to see works from two remarkable private Swiss collections. It pays tribute to two pioneering supporters of modernism, Rudolf
Staechelin (18811946) and Karl Im Obersteg (18831969), industrialists and
businessmen, close friends, and enthusiastic champions of impressionist, post-
impressionist, and modernist artists.
Gauguin to Picasso, Masterworks from Switzerland features over sixty celebrated paintings from their collections, created during the mid-n ineteenth and
early twentieth century by twenty-two world-famous artists. Masterpieces include Paul Gauguins Nafea faa ipoipo (When will you Marry?) (1892), the most
expensive work of art ever sold, Vincent van Goghs Daubignys Garden (1890),
Pablo Picassos double-s ided canvas Femme dans la loge / Buveuse dabsinthe
(1901), and Marc Chagalls three monumental Rabbi portraits. There are extraordinary paintings by artists of international stature including Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler and Russian expressionist painter Alexej Jawlensky, and
works by Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Czanne, Claude Monet,
Amedeo Modigliani, Georges Rouault, and Wassily Kandinsky.
The volume also studies how Staechelin and Im Obersteg developed friendships with and influenced the work of artists, and how they came to create two of
the most significant collections of modern art in Europe.
Dorothy Kosinski is the director of the Phillips Collection, Washington, DC.
Rene Maurer is assistant curator, the Phillips Collection.

Making It Modern
The Folk Art Collection of Elie and Viola Nadelman
This lavishly illustrated volume is the first comprehensive study of the folk art
collection purchased by the New-York Historical Society from Elie and Viola
Nadelman in 1937. Exhibited by the couple from 1926 to 1937 in their pioneering Museum of Folk and Peasant Arts in Riverdale, New York, the nearly fifteen thousand works come from a collection spanning six centuries, thirteen
countries, and a broad range of media. Authors Margaret K. Hofer and Roberta
J.M. Olson explore a nucleus of some two hundred and sixteen highlights in
eighty-seven catalog entries, as well as nine of Nadelmans own sculptures,
and consider the possible interchanges between the Nadelmans collecting and
his avant-garde art. Their research, employing new archival evidence from the
Historical Society and the rich cache of Nadelman Papers, has resulted in exciting discoveries, among them Nadelmans active role in restoring some of his
folk art objects.
Featuring seven provocative essays, Making It Modern breaks new ground not
only on the Nadelmans and folk art, but also in the history of American art and
taste during the fast-paced cultural revolutions of the early twentieth century.
Margaret K. Hofer is curator of decorative arts, New York Historical Society.

Death on the Nile deepens our understanding of the lives and concerns of ancient
Egyptians as they prepared themselves for death and burial. Building on the
growing trend in Egyptology to use scientific analysis and imaging to examine
artefacts, this new volume focuses on one hundred objects from the Fitzwilliam
Museums renowned Egyptian collection.
In addition to shedding new light on the workshops of ancient Egypt,
Death on the Nile traces the religious beliefs, economic concerns, and political allegiance of the people for whom the coffins were created. Behind these
remarkable objects is a human story of daily concerns, aspirations, and practical realities.

Stretching across the Sahara, from Mali to Libya, the Tuareg inhabit one of
the most inhospitable environments on earth. This ancient culture that once
controlled the lucrative caravan routes through North Africa is now dispersed
across several countries, but their common bonds of language, music, and art
transcend national borders. In a series of visits to the region, Henrietta Butler
has beautifully documented the lives of these desert nomads. Her remarkable photographs are joined by historical maps and illustrations from the first
European explorers to visit the Sahara, along with the art and poetry of the
Tuareg themselves.
Henrietta Butler was the arts photographer for the Guardian from 1992 to 1997
and 1999 to 2001. Since 1998 she has also produced feature stories, notably for
the Independent on Saturday and the Sunday Times magazines, and portraits for
Le Monde.

Freedom Is a Constant Struggle
Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement
Angela Y. Davis
Edited by Frank Barat
Preface by Cornel West
Daviss arguments for justice are formidable. . . . The power of her historical insights
and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied.The New York Times
In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles
against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.
Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality, and prison
abolitionism for todays struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-
Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyzes todays struggles
against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine.
Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and
build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that
Freedom is a constant struggle.
Angela Y. Davis is a political activist, scholar, author, and speaker. She is an outspoken advocate for the oppressed and exploited, writing on black liberation,
womens liberation, prison abolition, and international solidarity with Palestine.
She is the author of several books, including Women, Race, and Class and Are
Prisons Obsolete? She is the subject of the acclaimed documentary Free Angela
and All Political Prisoners and is professor emerita at the University of California,
Santa Cruz.

From #BlackLivesMatter
to Black Liberation
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
An indispensible contribution to the movement
for racial justice in postracial America.
The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Mike Brown in
Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York City have directly challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against black people and in
the process has punctured the illusion of a postracial America. With its slogan of
Black Lives Matter, this burgeoning movement has awakened a new generation
of activists. In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar KeeangaYamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and
argues that the persistence of structural problems such as mass incarceration and
black unemployment have created a context in which this new struggle against
police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for black liberation.
214
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor writes on black politics, housing inequality, and issues of race and class in the United States. Her articles have been published in
Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture and Society, Jacobin, New Politics,
the Black Commentator, Black Agenda Report, Ms. magazine, and other publications. Taylor is assistant professor in the Center for African American Studies at
Princeton University.

This is the ultimate feel-good book for exhausted campaigners and activists . . .
an intensely personal account, a meditation on activism and hope.The Guardian
Praise for Men Explain Things To Me:
Its a fraught time to be female in America (or should I say fraught-er), and a newly
expanded edition of Rebecca Solnits Men Explain Things to Me is the most clari
fying, soothing and socially aware document Ive read on the topic this year.
L ena Dunham
Trenchant and timely reflections on persistent inequality between women and
men and gender-based violence.The New York Times
A book as powerful and influential as Rebecca Solnits Men Explain Things to Me,
Hope in the Dark was written to counter the despair of radicals at a moment when
they were focused on their losses and had turned their back to the victories behind
thema nd the unimaginable changes soon to come. In it, she makes a radical
case for hope as a commitment to act in a world whose future remains uncertain
and unknowable. Drawing on her decades of activism and a wide reading of environmental, cultural, and political history, Solnit argued that radicals have a long,
neglected history of transformative victories, that the positive consequences of
our acts are not always immediately seen, directly knowable, or even measurable,
and that pessimism and despair rest on an unwarranted confidence about what is
going to happen next. Now, with a moving new introduction explaining how the
book came about and a new afterword that helps teach us how to hope and act in
our unnerving world, she brings a new illumination to the darkness of 2016 in
an unforgettable new edition of this classic book.
Writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of sixteen books including the acclaimed indie bestseller Men Explain Things to Me (Haymarket
Books).

None So Blind
J. . Gonzlez Sainz
Translated by Harold Augenbraum and Cecilia Ross
A magnificent novel, a profound and inspiring text that resolves itself with the apparent simplicity that only comes with technical mastery.
Pablo Martnez Zarracina, El Correo Espaol
A beautiful novel that takes us into the world of conflicting points of view,
of ethics and aesthetics, of moral turpitude in politics . . . the unmistakable
and diaphanous echo of a great story that makes no concession to the gallery.
. M. Salazar, Deia
One of those books that stays in your memory for a long time after reading.
R amn Jimnez, La Opinin de Murcia
When Felipe Daz Carrin loses his job he eventually emigrates with his family
to the Spanish Basque country in search of a new opportunity. Regarded as foreigners in a region affected by political violence and separatism, he suffers his
son and his wifes detachment and rejection in their struggle for integration. A
masterfully written, profound, inspiring fable on values and identity.

the Centro Internacional Antonio Machado, a Spanish language learning center
for foreign students based in Soria, his hometown in Spain. He won the Premio

They help us digest food, make essential nutrients, and combat disease. They may
even have a role in developing behavior. We are not just isolated humans, but
superorganisms.

The Time In Between
A Memoir of Hunger and Hope
Nancy Tucker
When Nancy Tucker was eight years old, her class had to write about what they
wanted in life. She thought, and thought, and then, though she didnt know

rejoined school; went in and out of therapy; ebbed in and out of life. From the
bleak reality of a body breaking down to the electric mental highs of starvation,
hers has been a life held in thrall by food.
Told with remarkable insight, dark humor, and acute intelligence, The Time
In Between is a profound, important window into the workings of an unquiet
minda Wasted for the twenty-fi rst century.

Karl Doenitz and the Last Days
of the Third Reich
Barry Turner
A powerful new biography of the second and last
and much-malignedNazi Fuhrer.
Among the military leaders of World War Two, Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz
remains a deeply controversial figure.
As chief of the German submarine fleet he earned Allied respect as a formidable enemy. But after he succeeded Adolf Hitlerto whom he was un
questioningly loyala s head of the Third Reich, his name became associated
with all that was most hated in the Nazi regime.
Yet Doenitz deserves credit for ending the war quickly while trying to save
his compatriots in the East. His Dunkirk-style operation across the Baltic rescued
up to two million troops and civilian refugees. He was sentenced to ten years at
Nuremberga penalty acknowledged as a blatant example of victors justice
and after his release from Spandau kept well away from politics.
Barry Turners closely examined and even-handed portrait gives a fascinating new perspective on this complex figure, to whom history has not been kind.

Hey Mister, throw me some beads!
Photographs by Bruce Gilden
Interview by Sophie Darmaillacq
Hey Mister, throw me some beads! is a phrase that is iconic in New Orleans
Mardi Gras street argot. Strings of beads, doubloons, and other trinkets are
passed out or thrown from the floats in the Mardi Gras parades to spectators
lining the streets. In 1974, Bruce Gilden was a young photographer when he
first went down to Mardi Gras to shoot his first personal essay away from his
home city New York. But when Gilden first stepped foot in New Orleans, he
found himself in a pagan dream where you can be what you want to be. So
Gilden became a regular, making seven trips down to the mayhem of Bourbon
Street between 1974 and 1982. The energy, the mentality, and the social and cultural mores of Mardi Gras were all new for Gilden, but he captured the carnival
crowds with the same raw intensity and poignancy that characterize his most
iconic New York street photographs.
A member of Magnum Photos since 1998, Bruce Gilden has taken the genre of
street photography and pushed it in new directions, documenting the essence of
the people he sees and the social landscape through which they move. His photographs have been widely exhibited in museums and galleries all over the world
and are included in many permanent collections, including MoMA and the
Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London;
the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the National Gallery of Canada.

Blank Pages of an Iranian Photo Album
Photographs by Newsha Tavakolian
Text by Anahita Ghabaian and Newsha Tavakolian
One of the most precious possessions of each Iranian household is the family photo
album. A collection of memories on paper, protected by plastic or cardboard sheets
and bound together by a richly illustrated cover, often showing scenes of snowcapped
mountains and green valleys; a promise of hope and prosperity. The content of most
albums are similar, an endless flow of snapshots taken in 1980s or even at the beginning of the 1990s of family gatherings with birthday cakes for the newborn children or
growing up in the newly founded Islamic Republic of Iran. The yellowed albums and
the pictures of smiling children dressed up in their best clothes are testament to our
hopes and dreams, ending in blank pages when we grew up and our parents stopped
taking our pictures. Reality took over, molding our ambitions and aspirations into a
straight jacket tied firmly both by ideology and our own apathy.

Shelley Calton, author of Hard Knocks: Rolling with the Derby Girls (Kehrer
Verlag, 2009), is continuing her exploration of feminine subcultures in Texas,
focusing on women and handguns. The majority of the women she has photographed have a concealed handgun license which allows them to carry a handgun
covered on their body for protection. Often times they are unexpected gun owners, a young mother or a grandmother. Growing up in Texas gun culture, where
there are an estimated two guns for every person in the state, these women are
quite comfortable with their handguns.

At the Edge of the World
Photographs by Alain Laboile
Text by Jock Sturges
Alain Laboile resides with his family in a village in the southwest of France. A
sculptor by trade, he acquired his first camera only a few years ago. But soon his
six children and their natural and uninhibited lifestyle came to dominate his cameras attention: Through my photographic work I celebrate and document my
family life: a life on the edge of the world, where intemporality and the universality of childhood meet. Though my work is deeply personal, it is also accessible, addressing human nature and allowing the viewer to enter my world and reflect on
their own childhoods.

On the Nest
Photographs by Dona Schwartz
Text by William Ewing and Dona Schwartz
Dona Schwartzs environmental portraits examine two key transitions in life
becoming a first-t ime parent and adjusting to an empty nest when children have
left home. In quotes accompanying the portraits, parents reveal their views on
the changes awaiting them. On the Nest provides a poignant and often humorous look at these underexamined, yet defining moments that forever change
our lives. The photographs reflect parents hopes and expectations, as well as
the struggle, anxietya nd joyof childrearing. They also reflect the diversity
of American family life by representing interracial couples, gay and lesbian
couples, and single parents.

Find a Fallen Star
Photographs by Regine Petersen
Text by Natasha Christia
Regine Petersen uses the stories of meteorite falls as a background for her multi
faceted narratives; a rock crashing through the roof of an Alabama home in the
1950s and hitting a woman, a group of children recovering a meteorite in their
village in post-war Germany, and a more recent event in India involving two
Rajasthani nomads. Petersen visited the places and the eyewitnesses and delved
into their stories, expanding her photographic observations with found documents and interviews. The book is a precious collectors item: one hardcover book
for each chapter plus a text leaflet come in a slipcase.

Presented to the public for the first time, David Levinthals History series is
the culmination of the photographers work over the past thirty-fi ve years. Like
his previous series, History speaks to the way in which imagery derived from
the mass media infiltrates memory, imagination, and identity. With vintage toy
figurines and play sets he creates elaborate scenes based on events in history,
especially as they are depicted in movies and on TV. Levinthal then photographs the constructed scenes and creates large, history-painting-s ized prints.
The compositions are reminiscent of famous images from art, literature, and
visual culture.

Asma Lamrabet
Translated by Myriam Francois-Cerrah
A Muslim feminist seeks to reshape readings of the Quran
on women, from within, in this bold and liberating book.
Today, the issue of Muslim women is held hostage between two perceptions: a
conservative Islamic approach and a liberal Western approach. At the heart of
this debate Muslim women are seeking to reclaim their right to speak in order
to re-appropriate their own destinies, calling for the equality and liberation that
is at the heart of the Quran.
However, with few female commentators on the meaning of the Quran
and an overreliance on the readings of the Quran compiled centuries ago this
message is often lost. In this book Asma Lamrabet demands a rereading of the
Quran by women that focuses on its spiritual and humanistic messages in order
to alter the lived reality on the ground.
By acknowledging the oppression of women, to different degrees, in social
systems organized in the name of religion, and also rejecting a perspective that
seeks to promote Western values as the only means of liberating them, the author
is able to define a new way; one in which their refusal to remain silent is an act of
devotion and their demand for reform will lead to liberation.
Asma Lamarbet is a pathologist in Avicenna Hospital, Rabat, Morocco. She is
also an award-w inning author of many articles and books tackling Islam and
womens issues.

This collection of short wisdoms from the works of Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
reflects the broad range of his brilliant intellectual thought. With an emphasis
upon literary quality, concision, and concentration of meaning, each aphorism is full of value and significance and typifies the tradition of qawaid (legal
maxims) in the Islamic intellectual sciences. A commentary accompanies each
maxim unr aveling its wisdom.
Tastefully presented and luxurious in feel, this book is a chamber of spirituality readers will look forward to delving into.

The Trench Angel
Michael Keenan Gutierrez
In the Somme Valley a British soldier teaches his fellows to hide cigarette coals
inside their mouths. Half a world away, a war-r uined photographer drinks in a bar
beneath a Colorado butchery, blood dripping from the floorboards into ashtrays.
Gutierrez writes with a metaphorical gift and fine hand of an age of war and upheaval where anarchists, coal barons, Pinkertons, corrupt police, broken idealists,
and broken families fight to claim historys muddied field. . . . The Trench Angel
announces a great new talent set to shine for a long time.A lexander Parsons,
Leaving Disneyland
Breathes new, vivid life into the old wild west.Mat Johnson, Pym
Gutierrezs splendid debut bypasses the archives, whisking us straightaway
into the seedy saloons, the twisting back alleys, and the trenches. . . . Like Denis
Johnsons Train Dreams, this potent, lyrical novel unspools beyond its own time
and lands squarely, unforgettably in our own.Tim Horvath, Understories
Colorado, 1919. Photographer Neal Stephens, home from the War, is blackmailed
by the sheriff over his secret marriage to a black woman in France. When the sheriff is murdered, Neals investigation calls up memories of the trenches and his
search for his dead wife, as he untangles the connections among the murder, the
coalm iners strike, and his mysterious anarchist father.
Michael Gutierrez, MFA (fiction) and MA (history), teaches in the department
of English and Comparative Literature at UNC Chapel Hill, and has published
in many literary journals. The Trench Angel was a finalist for the James Jones First
Novel Fellowship.

Integrity
Anna Borgeryd
Vera is a nurse from Sweden who, while delivering a dangerous birth in the
Colombian jungle, makes contact with indigenous people who give her a wholly
different outlook on life. A traumatic experience takes her home, her life in pieces,
just like the world as she now sees it. Her quest to put her life back together becomes tied up with her vision of a more sustainable world.
She meets the corporate heir to a company specializing in luxury travel who
has a predatory attitude to women. Could such opposites really attract? And, if
they came together, could they actually do something to halt the global march to
self-destruction?
An exploration of the inter-connectedness of human life and an unexpected
love story, Integrity delves deep into the choices and emotions of a woman trying
to change the world, and a man trying to change with her.
This genre-bending novel has achieved cult status in Sweden where Anna
Borgeryd heads one of the countrys most progressive companies.
Anna Borgeryd has a PhD in conflict management and is chair of a multi awardwinning family business. She is a musician and filmmaker and this, her first
novel, started life as a screenplay which won several awards in Sweden. She has
been an advisor to the Swedish governments Future Commission. She has given
a TEDx lecture on The Dawn of a New Economy and in 2014 she was named
among the fifteen most influential environmentalists in Sweden. She blogs at

all the key themes and critically suggests ways to bring the poor and marginalized
into the process.

There are forty-t hree million acres of lawns in North America. In their current
form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and
environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also be
seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major barrier
for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become part
of this growing movement.
The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help
you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living

With sales of more than five hundred billion US dollars a year, the fashion industry is one of the most important sectors of the global economy, employing
millions of men, women, and often children in the developing world. And yet
its record is far from pretty. The collapse of Bangladeshs Rana Plaza with some
thirty-fi ve hundred desperately underpaid garment workers inside was a shocking example of what can go wrong when manufacturers ruthlessly cut costs
while turning a blind eye to labor rights and workplace safety.
Written by an apparel industry insider, Fixing Fashion argues that the true
legacy of Rana Plaza is increased awareness of how cheap, disposable clothing
has led time and time again to serious environmental, community, and labor
rights abuses. Ethical supply chain professional Michael Lavergne explores:

The birth of the global apparel trade, from colonialism and slavery to
todays neoliberal trade agenda
How the infamous race to the bottom has led to some of the worst social
and environmental excesses in the global apparel industry
The rise of a new breed of entrepreneurs and stakeholders driving change
and transparency across international supply chains
By taking a hard look at the very real impacts of our consumer cultures addiction to disposable fashion, Fixing Fashion challenges each of us to take full responsibility for understanding the hidden cost of our clothes.
Michael Lavergne is an ethical supply chain professional committed to a sustainable fashion industry and the protection of labor, environmental, and human

More than ever, people are longing for deep and meaningful change. Another
world is not only possible; it is essential. Yet despite our creative and determined
efforts to attain social justice and ecological sustainability, our global crises continue to deepen.
In Drinking Molotov Cocktails with Gandhi, best-selling author Mark Boyle
argues that our political and economic system has brought us to the brink of
climate catastrophe, ransacking ecosystems and unraveling communities for
the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. He makes a compelling case
that we must rewild the political landscape, as history teaches us that positive social change has always been wrought by movements prepared to use any
means available.
The time has come for pacifists, revolutionaries, and freedom fighters to work
together for the creation of a world worth sustaining. Eloquent, visionary, and
beautifully written, this incendiary manifesto strikes at the heart of the worlds
crises and reframes our understanding of how to solve them, signaling a turning
point in our journey towards an ecologically just society.
The three Rs of the climate change generationreduce, reuse, and recycle
are long overdue for an upgrade. Welcome to resist, revolt, rewild.

The disconnection between humans and nature is perhaps one of the most fundamental problems faced by our species today. The schism between us and the
natural world is arguably the root cause of most of the environmental catastrophes unraveling around us. However, until we come to terms with the depths
of our alienation, we will continue to fail to understand that what happens to
nature also happens to us.
In Healing Ecology author Andreas Weber proposes a new approach to the
biological sciences that puts the human back in nature. He argues that feelings and emotions, far from being superfluous to the study of organisms, are
the very foundation of life. From this basic premise flows the development of
a poetic ecology which intimately connects our species to everything that surrounds usshowing that subjectivity and imagination are prerequisites of bio
logical existence.
Healing Ecology demonstrates that there is no separation between us and the
world we inhabit, and in so doing it validates the essence of our deep experience.
By reconciling science with meaning, expression, and emotion, this landmark
work brings us to a crucial understanding of our place in the rich and diverse
framework of lifea revolution for biology as groundbreaking as the theory of
relativity for physics.
Dr. Andreas Weber is a German academic, scholar, and author. He is a leader
in the emerging fields of biopoetics and biosemiotics, and his work has been
translated into several languages and published around the globe.

A thriving life and livable future for our planet starts with you.
Amidst the doom and gloom that dominates the headlines, a different kind of
story is unfolding. The players are activists, visionaries, and cultural innovators,
the backdrop is the tipping point of our global and environmental challenges,
and the narrative is the molding of a new paradigm to shape our collective future.
The Heart of Sustainability delves into the human dimension of this burgeoning international movement to build a better world. Author Andrs R. Edwards
frames the conversation about consciousness and sustainability by:
Explaining how self-development is a key driver for planetary change
Describing how the confluence of the consciousness and technological
revolutions provide unique opportunities for balance and fulfillment
Exploring how we can move forward individually and collectively to create
a thriving, livable future from the inside out
This landmark work illustrates the integration of the four Es: ecology, economy,
equity, and educationthe bedrock of the current sustainability framework
with the four Cs: conscious, creative, compassionate, and connected. Focusing
on specific examples and concrete initiatives from around the world, it shows us
how to reconnect with ourselves, each other, and nature in order to tackle the
challenges we face as a global community.
Andrs R. Edwards is author of the award-w inning Thriving Beyond Sustainability
and The Sustainability Revolution. He is founder and president of EduTracks, a

Waste not, want notan ecological approach to greywater and sewage.
Flush it and forget it is the plumbing mantra of the industrialized world. Most
people just want sewage to go away, preferably without having to see, smell, or
worse yet, touch it. But crap has a bad rap. Human waste is a valuable resource
we can use to support food production. Blackwater, greywater, and solids are actually rich in organic matter, and alternative means of handling these wastes
can conserve enormous quantities of fresh water for other uses.
The Scoop on Poop presents a wide range of ways to answer the call of nature,
and in so doing maximize the benefits of existing waste water. This book explores proven alternatives to Western sanitation. Whether youre interested in
composting toilets, outdoor grey- or blackwater planters, constructed wetlands,
or other innovative solutions, author Dan Chiras will walk you through:

bored playing with a particular toy as a child, rather than put it down and pick

An (Un)Reliable History of Tattoos
Paul Thomas
The tattoo is an art form, a practice . . . for some, a ritual. Its history is long and
colorful, dating back to the Neolithic, when our ancestors marked their bodies
with symbolic lines derived from a carbon paste. Today, those same markings
can be made on entering the neon parlors that line our cities.
Maybe its time to stop taking them so seriously!
Paul Thomass work has also appeared in the Sunday Times, the Times, the

The Things We Dont Do
Andrs Neuman
Translated by Nick Caistor and Lorenza Garcia
Good readers will find something that can be found only in great literature, the
kind written by real poets, a literature that dares to venture into the dark with
open eyes and that keeps its eyes open no matter what. . . . The literature of the
twenty-fi rst century will belong to Neuman and a few of his blood brothers.
R oberto Bolao
Playful, philosophizing, and gloriously unpredictable, Andrs Neumans short
stories consider love, lechery, history, mortality, family secrets, therapy, Borges,
mysterious underwear, translators, and storytelling itself.
Here a relationship turns on a line drawn in the sand; an analyst treats a patient who believes hes the real analyst; a discovery in a secondhand shop takes
on a cruel significance; a man decides to go to work naked one day. In these small
scenes and brief moments Neuman confounds our expectations with dazzling
sleight of hand.
With a variety of forms and styles, Neuman opens up the possibilities for
fiction, calling to mind other greats of Latin American letters, such as Julio
Cortzar, Roberto Bolao, and Bioy Casares. Intellectually stimulating and told
with a voice that is wry, questioning, sometimes mordantly funny, yet always
generously humane, The Things We Dont Do confirms Neumans place as one of
the most dynamic authors writing today.
Andrs Neuman was born in Buenos Aires, but grew up and lives in Spain. He
was included in Grantas Young Spanish-Language Novelists issue and is the author of almost twenty works, two of whichTraveler of the Century and Talking
to Ourselveshave been translated into English. Traveler of the Century won
the Alfaguara Prize, the National Critics Prize, was longlisted for the 2013 Best
Translated Book Award, and was shortlisted for the 2013 Independent Foreign
Fiction Prize and the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

Despite its title, there is little of war and much of the fantastic in this coming-of-
age story, which was the last novel Merc Rodoreda published during her lifetime.
We first meet its young protagonist, Adri Guinart, as he is leaving Barcelona
out of boredom and a thirst for freedom, embarking on a long journey through
the backwaters of a rural land that one can only suppose is Catalonia, accompanied by the interminable, distant rumblings of an indefinable war. In vignette-
like chapters and with a narrative style imbued with the fantastic, Guinart meets
with numerous adventures and peculiar characters who offer him a composite, if
surrealistic, view of an impoverished, war-ravaged society and shape his perception of his place in the world.
As in Rodoredas Death in Spring, nature and death play a fundamental role
in a narrative that often takes on a phantasmagoric quality and seems to be a
meditation on the consequences of moral degradation and the inescapable presence of evil.
Merc Rodoreda (190883) is widely regarded as the most important Catalan
writer of the twentieth century. Exiled in France and Switzerland following the
Spanish Civil War, Rodoreda began writing the novels and short storiesTwenty-
Two Short Stories, The Time of the Doves, Camellia Street, Garden by the Seat hat
would eventually make her internationally famous.

Rochester Knockings
A Novel of the Fox Sisters
Hubert Haddad
Translated by Jennifer Grotz
The fictional retelling of the most famous spiritualists
of the nineteenth centurythe Fox Sisters, who conned everyone
with their mysterious knockings.
Hats off to one of the most inventive writers of French literature. . . . Hubert
Haddad concocts a colorful novel, funny and inventive, as clever as the Fox sisters
themselves.Jean-Franois Delapr, Saint Christophe bookstore
The Fox sisters grew up just outside of Rochester, New York, in a house that had
a reputation for being haunted, due in large part to a series of strange rappings
or knockings that plagued its inhabitants. Fed up by whatever was responsible
for the knockings, the youngest of the sisters (who was twelve at the time) challenged the ghost and ended up communicating with the spirit of Charles Haynes,
who had been murdered in the house and buried in the cellar.
Thanks to the enthusiasm of one Isaac Post, the Fox sisters became instantly
famous for talking to the dead, launching the Spiritualist Movement in the United
States. After taking Rochester by storm, the sisters moved to New York where they
were the most famous mediums of the time, giving sances for hundreds of people.
Then, it all fell apart, and the sisters were exposed as frauds. Nevertheless, even
today the Fox sisters are considered to be the founders of Spiritualism, one of the
most popular religious movements of the past couple centuries (consider the success of Long Island Medium and the hundreds of thousands who visit Lily Dale
every year).
Rich in historical detail, Rochester Knockings novelizes the rise and fall of
these most infamous of mediums.
Hubert Haddad was born in Tunisia, and is the author of dozens of works, including the novels Palestine (winner of the Prix des Cinq Continents de la
Francophonie), Tango chinois, and La Condition magique (winner of the Grand
Prix du Roman de la Socit des Gens de Lettres).

Loquela, Carlos Labbs fourth novel and second to be translated into English, is
a narrative chameleon, a shape-shifting exploration of fictions possibilities.
At a basic level, this is a distorted detective novel mixed with a love story and a
radical statement about narrative art. Beyond the silence that unites and separates
Carlos and Elisa, beyond the game that estranges the albino girls, Alicia and Violeta,
from pleasant summer evenings, beyond the destiny of Neutriaa city that dis
appears with childhoodand beyond a Chilean literary movement that could be
the last vanguard, while at the same time the greatest falsification, questions arise
concerning who truly writes for whom in a novelt he author or the reader.
Through an array of voices, overlapping storylines, a kaleidoscope of literary references, and a delirious, precise prose, Labb carves out a space for himself among such great form-defying Latin American writers as Juan Carlos Onetti
and Jorge Luis Borges.
Carlos Labb, one of Grantas Best Young Spanish-L anguage Novelists, was
born in Chile and is the author of a collection of short stories and six novels, one
of which, Navidad & Matanza, is available in English from Open Letter. In addition to his writings, he is a musician, and has released three albums.
Will Vanderhyden received an MA in literary translation from the University
of Rochester.

Party Headquarters
Georgi Tenev
Translated by Angela Rodel
A love story cum political thriller, Party Headquarters lays bare the
difficulties and hypocrisies of Bulgarias transition to democracy.
Winner of the Vick Foundation Novel of the Year Award in 2007, Party
Headquarters takes place in the eighties and nineties, during Bulgarias transition from communist rule to democracy.
The bookwhich is a love story, a parody, and a thriller about a political
hoaxopens with the main character visiting his father-in-law, an old communist party boss who is dying and being tasked with delivering a suitcase filled
with one-a nd-a-half million euros.
Its one of Bulgarias most popular myths: as the communist party fell apart,
high ranking officials squirreled away bags and suitcases containing a significant
portion of the countrys wealth, and that these bags are still circulating through
Europe, waiting to be delivered to various conspirators.
But this is just the beginning of the corruption and inequality that plagued
Bulgaria during this time. While immersing himself in pornography and prostitution, the hero of Party Headquarters reflects back on his life and the emblematic
events that took place around that timet he anticommunist protests, the arson
attack on the Communist Party Headquarters in Sofia, and, most tragically and
crucially, the Chernobyl disaster, during which the families of party officials were
sheltered away and fed special, safe food, while the regular citizens suffered.
Beautiful and tragic, Party Headquarters is an engrossing testament to the
struggles that haunted Bulgaria after the fall of the Soviet Union, many of which
continue to resonate today.
Before penning the Vick Prizew inning novel Party Headquarters, Georgi Tenev
had already published four books, founded the Triumviratus Art Group, hosted
The Library television program about books, and written plays that have been performed in Germany, France, and Russia. He is also a screenwriter for film and TV.
Angela Rodel earned an MA in linguistics from UCLA and received a Fulbright
Fellowship to study and learn Bulgarian.

The WAR
A Sicilian Story
Tony Gentile
Contributions by Davide Enia
Tony Gentile is the photographer of a powerful icon of an Italy that no
longer exists: the judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino together.
Coverage of Palermo: street life, politics, murders, and an undeclared war that
in the nineties hit an entire city. This book reconstructs a piece of Italian history
through memories that will allow a younger generation to know the facts that may
no longer be remembered, knowledge that is essential for growth. In a contact
print from negatives of pictures taken on March 27, 1992, Giovanni Falcone and
Paolo Borsellino are sitting at the same table. Of the four pictures from that afternoon more than twenty years ago, one has become an icon of an Italy that no
longer exists. Capturing a moment in time, as Leonardo Sciascia once put it, can be
a unique photograph, a moment of unrepeatable equilibrium between form and
content. Life and death alternately sweetly. Among his negatives there is neither
indulgence nor any attempt to evoke pity.
They are not part of the baggage he carries while he shoots pictures. Instead,
it is news, documenting an event and passing it on for what it is. He shoots. Others can decode, others can attribute meta-linguistic meanings to what is simply a
picture.

Saudade Moon is a wonderful and immersive journey across Brazil. The images in this book penetrate the heart and soul, the very existence of the country. Photojournalist Paolo Marchetti captures events, landscapes, and people,
and sees them in a romantic waywith saudade: a Portuguese word referring
to an emotional state related to nostalgia, melancholy, and bittersweet longing.
Through the photographer, who filters reality into his own style, we see Brazil
and its people in an unprecedented, remarkable, and penetrating way. The photographs, both individually and combined, create an ephemeral visual poem that
agitates the senses and ignites emotion.

The country is still divided between the past and the future, nationalism and
modernization. Hope, black humor, and ongoing suffering are the main characteristics of the Bosnian identity that survived until the end of ex-Yugoslavia. This
photo-report is an occasion to rethink this still-wounded country.
This is a journey into the memory of Bosnia. A dream, an interior image of a
lost generation, traces of an imperceptible line between what happened and what
could be. These are everyday stories of Muslim families, marked by the war. A
voyage of self-awareness amidst the horror of the Srebrenica genocide and the
memory of an ethnic cleansing that will last beyond time.

Language of War, Language of Peace
Palestine, Israel and the Search for Justice
Raja Shehadeh
Few Palestinians have opened their minds and hearts with such frankness.
The New York Times
Shehadeh writes beautifully, his language infused with a lyrical, melancholic
sense of loss.The Sunday Telegraph
Shehadeh writes with great clarity and simplicity, but no bitterness about the
unhappy history of his family and country.The Independent
When conflicts become entrenched over generations, the language of war in
filtrates everyday life, concealing destruction and hardening positions. Nowhere
is this truer than in the Middle East.
Award-w inning author Raja Shehadeh explores the politics of language and
the language of politics in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, reflecting on the walls
that they createlegal and culturalthat confine todays Palestinians just
like the borders, checkpoints, and so-c alled Separation Barrier. He shows
how the peace process has been ground to a halt by twists of language and lin
guistic chicanery that have degraded the word peace itself.
The situation at the worlds greatest political fault line has never looked
bleaker, but still Shehadeh finds reason to hope and explains why.
Raja Shehadeh is Palestines leading writer. He is also a lawyer and the founder
of the pioneering Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq. Shehadeh is the
author of several acclaimed books including Strangers in the House and Occupation
Diaries and is the winner of the 2008 Orwell Prize for Palestinian Walks. He lives
in Ramallah in Palestine.

Shakespeare
An Introduction: Ideas in Profile
Paul Edmondson
Paul Edmondson presents Shakespeare afresh as a dramatist and poet, and en
courages us to take ownership of his works for ourselves as words to be spoken
as well as discussed. We get a sense of what his life was like, his language, and
the cultural legacy. We catch glimpses of Shakespeare himself, how he wrote,
and see what his works mean to readers and theater practitioners. We see how
Shakespeare tackled the biggest themes of humanity: power, history, war, and
love.
Paul Edmondson is head of research and knowledge and director of the

Satellite Sisters
Two generations of Satellite Sisters share heartwarming, inspirational,
and, most of all, funny thoughts on the friendships that sustain women.
I owe you for that night at that dive bar on our road trip. I should not line dance under
the influence, and I think we both know that now.
I owe you for letting me borrow that really expensive evening clutch with the feathers.
I had no idea puppies liked feathers.
I owe you for that really poor financial advice I gave to you. It was loud on the subway,
but I thought I heard that guy in the suit say, Buy Enron.
I owe you for Brad. Lets not talk about him ever again.
Youre smart. Youre funny. You text just the right amount. Youre the one person who
tells my about the thing in my teeth without sounding just a little bit superior.
Youre the best.
Youre the Best is a thank-you note to female friends, the women we call when
the best things in our lives happenor the worst. Written by two generations of
Satellite Sisters, this beautifully packaged hardcover book explores how we rely
on our friends to get us up, get us going, get us through, and, most importantly,
get us laughing. It makes a superb gift for friends, sisters, mothers, daughters,
and granddaughters.
The Satellite SistersJulie, Liz, Sheila, Monica, and Lian Dolana re five sisters who believe that a sense of connection is what gives meaning to our lives. The
Dolan sisters created Satellite Sisters first as a nationwide radio show and website. Now, the Satellite Sisters connect with a blog, a podcast, books, personal
appearances, and social media; joining them regularly are their cadre of twenty-
something nieces. After winning twelve Gracie Allen Awards for excellence in
womens media, they still have plenty more to say.

Cultivating the Genius of Black Children
Strategies to Close the Achievement Gap in the Early Years
There has been much attention given to the achievement gap between white and
minority students, especially African American children. Through research and
years of experience, Debra Ren-Etta Sullivan breaks down the cultural influences
on childrens learning styles and provides a practical approach to helping black
children thrive in the classroom.
For black children, which Sullivan defines as those of African descent, there is
a disconnect between learning preferences and learning environments that must
be bridged before the achievement gap can be closed. This hands-on resource is
filled with effective strategies and best practices to help early childhood educators
expand their toolbox for supporting children.
Increasing cultural intelligence will allow us to work across the many differences in our classrooms. As our schools become more diverse, cultural competency will be an increasingly important skill for teachers efficacy and childrens
success. By cultivating the individual genius of each child and meeting chidren
where they are today, we can invigorate the education system and provide children high-quality early education experiences.

What is quality, what does it look like, and how do we achieve it? This touching
and eye-opening documentary follows several early care and education professionals at an urban child care center over the course of a three-year improvement
initiative. Using a proven system, you see the low-quality center transform into
an educational opportunity for young children.
Research has shown that high-quality early learning programs set children
up for future success. These children are less likely to drop out of school, require
special education services, or be incarcerated. They are more likely to graduate
high school, pursue a higher degree, and be productive citizens. When we transform one center, we touch the lives of dozens of children, teachers, and the community they are a part of.
Beyond Babysitting shows all of us what it takes to improve the child care system and transform it into an early learning system we will all benefit from for
generations.
Available with closed captioning and English or Spanish subtitles.

cated to bringing high-quality child care and education to children from birth
to age eight in southeastern Pennsylvania. With more than two thousand active
members, it is one of the largest NAEYC affiliates. The DVAEYC works to ensure
educational opportunity for every child through coaching of programs and providers on best practices and career development. Its membership acts as a strong

Enemy on the Euphrates
The Battle for Iraq, 19141921
Ian Rutledge
Material with acute relevance to the crisis now tearing Iraq to pieces.
The Independent
Rutledges account displays a novelists taste for intrigue, espionage, gunboat
diplomacy, personal hardship and murder.BBC History Magazine
[A] rare treasure that combines a fascinating account of important histori
cal events with penetrating geopolitical analysis.P rofessor Michael Klare,
Hampshire College, Amherst
In 1920 an Arab revolt came perilously close to inflicting a shattering defeat
upon the British Empires forces occupying Iraq after the Great War. A huge
peasant army besieged British garrisons and bombarded them with captured ar
tillery. British columns and armored trains were ambushed and destroyed, and
gunboats were captured or sunk. Britains quest for oil was one of the principal
reasons for its continuing occupation of Iraq. However, with around 131,000
Arabs in arms at the height of the conflict, the British were very nearly driven
out. Only a massive infusion of Indian troops prevented a humiliating rout.
Enemy on the Euphrates is the definitive account of the most serious armed
uprising against British rule in the twentieth century. Bringing central players
such as Winston Churchill, T. E. Lawrence, and Gertrude Bell vividly to life, Ian
Rutledges masterful account is a powerful reminder of how Britains imperial ob
jectives sowed the seeds of Iraqs tragic history.

You Should Pity Us Instead
Amy Gustine
Amy Gustines You Should Pity Us Instead is a devastating, funny, and astonishingly frank collection of stories. Gustine can be brutally honest about the
murky calculations, secret dreams and suppressed malice to which most of us
never admit, not even to ourselves.K aren Russell
You Should Pity Us Instead is an unbroken spell from first story to last, despite
the enormous range of subjects and landscapes, sufferings and joys it explores.
L aura Kasischke
Amy Gustines stories cross impossible borders both physical and moral: a
mother looking for her kidnapped son sneaks into Gaza, an Ellis Island inspector mourning his lost love plays God at the boundary between old world and
new. Brave, essential, thrilling, each story in You Should Pity Us Instead takes us
to those places weve never dared visit before.Ben Stroud
You Should Pity Us Instead explores some of our toughest dilemmas: the cost of
Middle East strife at its most intimate level, the likelihood of God considered in
day-to-day terms, the moral stakes of family obligations, and the inescapable
fact of mortality. Amy Gustine exhibits an extraordinary generosity toward her
characters, instilling them with a thriving, vivid presence.
Amy Gustines short fiction has appeared in the Kenyon Review, North American
Review, Black Warrior Review, the Massachusetts Review, and many other places.
She lives in Ohio.

Capacity tells the fantastically true and truly fantastic personal history of the
artist as a young man. Theo Ellsworths astonishing drawings, which Pitchfork
describes as a combination of Where the Wild Things Are, a fever dream, a pagan
woodland ceremony, and a notebook doodle, give shape to thoughts profound
and silly, bringing familiar doubts and hopes to visionary, new life. Just try to
remember, this all really happened.
Counted among the best books of its original publication year by the Chicago
Tribune, the Village Voice, the Huffington Post, and dozens of others, Capacity is
returning in a deluxe, special edition.

Serpents Tail
Love Game
A History of Tennis, from Victorian Pastime
to Global Phenomenon
Elizabeth Wilson
A comprehensive narrative history of the worlds
most international sport, from Victorian lawn tennis
to Andy Murrays Wimbledon 2013 triumph.
Hers is a sporting history unlike any Ive readone that, in its sophistication and
thoughtfulness, shows up the hollowness of most other accounts.The Observer
Tennis gladiatorial beauty, stylish duelling, and fashionable court-wear make it
a romantics dream. Ever since young men and women first came together to play
on vicarage lawns, this most Victorian of games has always had a peculiarly passionate undercurrentlove even makes it into the scoring system. And passion
is included in other formst he rivalry of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and
John McEnroes legendary angry outbursts.
Beyond the romance, tennis has always been a barometer of the times. French
star Suzanne Lenglen was a celebrity trailblazer, Jimmy Connors channeled punk,
and Wimbledons Henman Hill is unrecognizable from the days when the All
England Club ostracized working-c lass Fred Perrythe great English tennis
champion who is now more famous as a leisure clothing brand than a sportsman.
Love Game is the must-have companion for tennis fans during the 2015 US
Open. It tells the story of tennis journey from upper-m iddle-class hobby to global
TV spectacle, taking in the innovators and trendsetters, the great players, heroes,
and iconoclasts, and the politics, class wars, and culture clashes of what could
rightfully be called the beautiful game.
Elizabeth Wilson is currently visiting professor at the London College of Fashion
and is the author of several nonfiction books. Her novels The Twilight Hour, War
Damage, and The Girl in Berlin are also published by Serpents Tail.

Ramona Kovals parents fled Poland and settled in Melbourne. As a child, Koval
learned little about their livesonly snippets from traumatic tales of destruction and escape. But she always suspected that the man who raised her was not
her biological father.
One day in the 1990s, long after her mothers death, she decided she must
know the truth. A phone call led to a photograph in the mail, then tea with
strangers. Before long Koval was interrogating a nursing-home patient, meeting
a horse whisperer in tropical Queensland, journeying to rural Poland, learning
other languages, and dealing with Kafkaesque bureaucracy, all in the hope of finding an answer.
A quest for identity recounted with Kovals customary humor, Bloodhound
takes hold of the reader and never lets go. It is a moving story of the terrible cost
of war and of family secrets.
Ramona Koval is a writer, journalist, broadcaster, and editor. From 2006 to
2011 she presented Radio Nationals Book Show, and she has written for the
Age and the Australian. In 1995, Ramona received the Order of Australia Media
Award for her work on Radio National.

Jones is a daring writer who can be relied on to ignore expectation, and is becoming one of the most interesting, honest and thought-provoking novelists
working today.The Guardian
Long ago, when the men were away at the war, Alma began painting the women
of the town. They sat for him in lieu of payment for his work catching rats. Alice,
his favorite, returned his attentions. When her husband George came home from
the war, he set out to prove his love and reclaim his wife by moving a hill
wheelbarrow by wheelbarrowfor her.
Decades later the townspeople, looking to escape various corners of despair,
turn to drawing classes. For when you draw, the only thing that matters is what lies
before you. Paint Your Wife is a colorful, sensual novel, brimming with rich stories
and even richer characters.
Lloyd Jones was born in New Zealand in 1955. His best-k nown works include
Mister Pip, winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize and shortlisted for the
Man Booker Prize; The Book of Fame, winner of numerous literary awards; Hand

By turns philosophical and playful, lyrical and earthy, Father Comes Home from
the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3), swoops, leaps, dives and soars, reimagining a turbulent point in American history through a cockeyed contemporary lens. . . . The
finest work yet from this gifted writer.The New York Times
Thrilling. . . . A masterpiece. . . . A story that engages the deepest possible issues
in the most gripping possible ways.New York
Offered his freedom if he joins his master in the ranks of the Confederacy, Hero, a
slave, must choose whether to leave the woman and people he loves for what may
be another empty promise. As his decision brings him face to face with a nation at
war with itself, the ones Hero left behind debate whether to escape or wait for his
return, only to discover that for Hero, freedom may have come at a great spiritual
cost. A devastatingly beautiful dramatic work, Father Comes Home from the Wars
(Parts 1, 2, & 3) is the opening trilogy of a projected nine-play cycle that will ultimately take us into the present.

Ms. Lees fascinating play . . . goes far beyond cheap satire, ultimately becoming
a compassionate and stimulating exploration of one mans existential crisis. . . .
She proves unexpectedly adept at strict naturalism. . . . [A] mournful and in
quisitive play.The New York Times
She sacrifices nothing; bodies, voices, jokes, food, tragedy, cities are all artistic
fodder, as are her various selves and the mirthful, bloody life of her imagination.
The New Yorker
Provocative playwright Young Jean Lee lends her shrewd perspective to this
atypical take on the family drama. A father and his three sons unite and unravel,
both aware of and undone by privilege and its pressure. When inherent social expectation conflicts with a desire to remain stagnant, the resulting identity confusion is new territory for the tight-knit family. Strikingly observant and curiously
drawn, Lee departs from her experimental style to create a naturalistic observation of the most socially unobstructed of our species, the straight white male.
Young Jean Lee has been hailed as one of the best experimental playwrights in
America by Time Out New York. She has written and directed nine shows in New
York with Young Jean Lees Theater Company and toured her work to over twenty
cities around the world. Her other plays include Were Gonna Die, Untitled Feminist
Show, The Shipment, Lear, and Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven. Awards include two Obies, the Festival Prize of the Zuercher Theater Spektakel, a Prize
in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Guggenheim
Fellowship, and a Doris Duke Artist Award.

His empathetic, poetic tales of ex-cons, addicts, and other men whom society
would label losers return us, again and again, to a world that Guirgis, by virtue
of his particular religiont he church of the streetsi lluminates with the bright
and crooked light of his faith.The New Yorker
With a keen insight into the lives of downtrodden city dwellers, Stephen Adly
Guirgis delves into the challenges of pride and self-transformation, and the
intricacies of love in a working-c lass world. The Motherfucker with the Hat
Guirgiss Broadway debutnot only blends comedy with drama, but also love
with addiction and betrayal with loss, in a story about a recovering junkie and
the misguided characters trying to help him. Between Riverside and Crazy centers around Pops, a retired cop and the would-be patriarch of his misfit lodgers,
as he struggles to maintain control in an unraveling world.
Stephen Adly Guirgiss other plays include Jesus Hopped the A Train, Our Lady of
121st Street, In Arabia Wed All Be Kings, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, The Little
Flower of East Orange, Den of Thieves, Race Religion Politics, and Dominica: The
Fat Ugly Ho. He is a former co-a rtistic director of LABryinth Theater Company.
Awards include the Yale Wyndham-Campbell Prize, a PEN/Laura Pels Award,
a Whiting Award, and a 2014 Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award.
The poetry of Cruzs writing is what those who love his work cite most often
about his style, and Sotto Voce has that. Yet it also contains passages that are realistic, whimsical, sensual and heartbreaking. Cruz may be that rarity, a poet of the
stage, but he is first and foremost a dramatist.The Miami Herald
Ariel Strauss, a Jewish Cuban man, strives to explore his cultural history when he
encounters Bemadette Kahn, an older woman and famed novelist who seeks to
relive hers. Cruzs passionate romantic drama takes place in a dreamscape, somewhere between history and memory, present and past. Sotto Voce is a work of
dramatic poetry and an imaginative exploration of nostalgia and the ensuing
heartbreak it comes with.
Nilo Cruz was the first Latino playwright to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama
for his play Anna in the Tropics. His other plays include Night Train to Bolina,
Dancing on her Knees, A Park in Our House, Two Sisters and a Piano, The Color of
Desire, Hurricane, A Bicycle Country, Hortensia and the Museum of Dreams, Lorca
in a Green Dress, Beauty of the Father, and translations of Lorcas Doa Rosita
the Spinster and The House of Bernarda Alba. He is the third recipient of the
Greenfield Prize, a $30,000 grant to produce new work.

This year for Thanksgiving, the Blake family gathers in a new Chinatown apartment shared by daughter Brigid and her boyfriend: a typical housing space for
New York, cramped with people and all the compassion, cares, and consternation they bring with them. This delirious tragicomedy (Chicago Sun-Times) by
talented young playwright Stephen Karam encapsulates what we all dread most
about the holidays and the pressure to present our best selves to the people who
mean the most to us. The intricate dialogue and delicate interactions weave a
beautifully despondent family portrait, revealing the true depth of each individuals
anxietya nature that is, desperately and accurately, human.

Zestier and more colloquial than most translations . . . Letts main achievement
here is to make Chekhov more emotional, accessible and active.Chicago Tribune
Ive seen over a dozen Three Sisters, but never has the final scene . . . registered
so hard. Its the cumulative effect of . . . searing truth-tellingfrom Letts, who
knows family dysfunction as only the author of August: Osage County can, and
Chekhov, the good doctor who diagnoses all our weaknesses that are so strong.
Chicago Theater Beat
When the champion of modern family drama takes on the genres patriarch, the
result is an energetic and vitalizing adaptation of one of Anton Chekhovs most
beloved plays. A cruder, gruffer outline of the plight of the wistful Prozorov sisters serves to emphasize the anguish of their Chekhovian stagnation. This latest work from Tracy Letts envisions the revered classic through a fresh lens that
revives the passionate characters and redoubles the tragic effect of their stunted
dreams.

Nashville, Tennessees Third Man Records was founded by musician Jack White in 2001. The physical
location opened in 2009 and quickly evolved from a music label into a complete in-house hub for art-
making and dream-chasing. Third Mans mission is to support the creation and distribution of any and every
form of expression, from music to poetry, fiction to film. In this spirit, Third Man Books was established
in 2014 to further explore the music of language.
Much like the identity of Third Man Records, Third Man Books will be based on adventure, bordering
on recklessness, yet bound by craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The press plans to print
contemporary poetry, literary fiction, photography, biography, and more. (There are even plans for a book
on baseball.)
Where some may believe such an approach disjointed, Third Man considers it natural. Theres a story to
all things, both small and grand. Consider TMRs series The Rise and Fall of Paramount Volume 12 which
recounts the forgotten story of Paramount Records from its origin as a Wisconsin chair manufacturer to
one of the most important recording labels in American culture, only to go bankrupt. When many believed
TMRs dedication to the project as borderline funny-farm, Third Man only saw it as necessary, and won a
Grammy award. The same ethos drives Third Mans involvement in the renaissance of vinyl records.
Third Man Books is excited to join a literary community that we wish to learn from and hope to add
something back. Third Man Records, Where Your Turntables Not Dead. Third Man Books, Where Your Page
Still Turns.
Stuckys verse has the power of the best East European poetssome of his
poems seem to be perfect, magnificent, and instantly anthologizable. He is a
forceful, cogent, incisive phrase-maker.Bill Knott
The yearning in these poems is awash in dense, spiritual sexuality buffeted by
time and the mishandling of promises and breakable bonds.apt

The Truth Is We Are Perfect is fifty-four lyrics of a man who discovered love for
his own destruction. It is a heartbreak that brings re-c reation. Passion, vulnera
bility, and strength are revealed as Janaka Stucky journeys into nothingness
and, consequently, into awareness. His style of minimalism and occult sensibilities make for a different sense of word that manifests his inner change. Consider these lines from The Art of Loss is a Lost Art: Because I love a burning
thing/ I made my heart a field of fire. Simply said, Stucky sacrifices himself to
become himself.
Janaka Stucky is the publisher of Black Ocean as well as the annual poetry
journal Handsome. He is the author of two chapbooks: Your Name Is The Only
Freedom, and The World Will Deny It For You. His poems have appeared in such
journals as Denver Quarterly, Fence, and North American Review, and his articles
have been published by the Huffington Post and the Poetry Foundation. He is a
two-t ime National Haiku Champion and in 2010 he was voted Bostons Best
Poet in the Boston Phoenix.
Frank Stanford
Edited by Michael Wiegers and Chet Weise
From the Frank Stanford archives:
unpublished poems, drafts, letters, and audio.
It is astounding to me that I was not even aware of this accomplished and moving poet. There is a great deal of pain on the poems, but it is a pain that makes
sense, a tragic pain whose meaning rises from the way the poems are so firmly
molded and formed from within.James Wright
Hidden Water: From the Frank Stanford Archives features a selection of un
published poems, facsimiles of typesheets, and handwrtten drafts, letters, and
extremely rare audio of Stanford reading. Edited by Michael Wiegers and Chet
Weise, Hidden Water complements Copper Canyon Presss definitive Frank
Stanford collection What About This and is a must for any lover of Stanford.

Born in 1948, Frank Stanford was a prolific poet known for his originality and
ingenuity. He has been dubbed a swamprat Rimbaud by Lorenzo Thomas and
one of the great voices of death by Franz Wright. He grew up in Mississippi,
Tennessee, and then Arkansas, where he lived for most of his life and wrote
many of his most powerful poems. Stanford died in 1978. He authored over
ten books of poetry, including eight volumes in the last seven years of his life.

The Glacier is a spellbinding work of fiction that re-i magines the American frontier of the late-n ineties and early-aughts, a time when cookie-c utter developments
stamped the countryside beige.
Following a caterer at a convention center, a surveyor residing in a storage unit,
and the dazed and death-obsessed denizens of the burbs, The Glacier is a poetic
rendering of the pre-apocalypse.

The Deaths of Henry King
Jesse Ball and Brian Evenson
Illustrated by Lilli Carr
Henry King was found by his dog, who later ate him.
In The Deaths of Henry King, the hapless Henry King, as advertised, dies. Not
just once or even twice, but seven dozen times, each death making way for a
new demise, moving from the comic to the grim to the absurd to the transcendent and back again. With text by Jesse Ball and Brian Evenson complimented
by Lilli Carrs macabre, gravestone-r ubbing-style art, Henry Kings ends are
brought to a vividly absurd life.
Brian Evenson is the author of a dozen books of fiction, most recently the story
collection Windeye and the novel Immobility (both finalists for a Shirley Jackson
Award). His novel Last Days won the ALAs RUSA award for Best Horror Novel
of 2009. His novel The Open Curtain was a finalist for an Edgar Award and an
International Horror Guild Award. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island, where
he teaches in Brown Universitys literary arts department.

Selected Poems of John Wieners
John Wieners
Edited by Joshua Beckman, CAConrad, and Robert Dewhurst
A necessary selection of work, out-of-print
or never published, by a seminal mid-century poet.
There is no doubt in my mind or in anyones mind who knows these poems well
that they are major American poetry and will be in anthologies for one hundred
years, I mean that good.A llen Ginsberg
A graceful rigor seems to be Wienerss natural mode; we feel the force of delibera
tion in his most free formshe is never casual. The grace is miraculous, for he
aims at intensities, by orders that shape and then restrict feeling to the ardent.
R obert Duncan
What moves us is not the darkness of the world in which the poems were writ
ten by the pity and terror and joy that is beauty in the poems themselves. . . .
In Wieners the glamor is in the word-music itself.Denise Levertov
Supplication: Selected Poems of John Wieners gathers work by one of the most
significant poets of the Black Mountain and Beat generation. Includes poems
that have previously never been published, the full text of the 1958 edition of
his influential The Hotel Wentley Poems, plus facsimiles, notes, and collages by
Wieners. An invaluable collection for new and old fans.
John Wieners (19342002) was a founding member of the New American
poetry that flourished in America after the Second World War. Upon gradu
ating from Boston College in 1954, Wieners enrolled in the final class of Black
Mountain College. Following Black Mountains closure in 1956, he founded
the small magazine Measure (195762) and embarked on a peripatetic life, par
ticipating in poetry communities in Boston, San Francisco, New York, and
Buffalo throughout the late 1950s and 1960s, before settling at 44 Joy Street
on Beacon Hill in 1972. He is the author of seven collections of poetry, three
one-act plays, and numerous broadsides, pamphlets, uncollected poems, and
journals. Robert Creeley described Wieners as the greatest poet of emotion
of their time.

Rebecca Wolff
[Wolffs poems] are stylistic and tonal shapeshifters. Hip, contemplative, and
dark and resistant to the hunky-dory, the New Agey, and the prescriptive, theyre
unnerving, funny, and occasionally subversive.Bookforum
Poet, novelist, and Fence Books founder Rebecca Wolffs internal monologue
made external in poetry is uncanny. Her musical and darkly funny fourth col
lection, One Morning, spans language, culture, art history, love, passion, grief,
consumerism, environmental devastation, and the ekphrastic experience of pop
and high culture. She experiments with torque, energy, narrativetwo steps

Illocality
Joseph Massey
I find it refreshing and somehow also sobering to observe the way Massey sticks
so closely to the perceptual world. Like William Carlos Williams, he challenges
us to see the value in putting things in words.R ae Armantrout, American Poet
In distilled, acutely observed poems, Massey builds the world out of light
and shadow; he helps us see pattern and grid, the thinning sunlight. . . . You
cant call this nature poetry, but its a beautiful rendition of whats breathable.
Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
Joseph Massey composed Illocality in his first year in western Massachusetts.
Masseys austere landscapes channel the quiet shock, euphoria, and introspec
tion that come with reorientation to place. His language fights apathy with grace
and sensitivity. Here are poems with their eyes on seasons, plants, sunlight, and
animals, all the while looking for stability and the language to describe it.
From Parse:
The speed
at which sleeps
fogged dialogue withers
into the present
noun-scape
This rift valley
A volley of
seasonal beacons
Joseph Massey is the author of Areas of Fog (Shearsman Books, 2009), At the
Point (Shearsman Books, 2011), To Keep Time (Omnidawn, 2014), as well as thir
teen chapbooks and various limited-edition broadsides and folios. His work has
also appeared in many journals and magazines, including the Nation, A Public
Space, American Poet: The Journal of the Academy of American Poets, Verse, Western
Humanities Review, Quarterly West; and in the anthologies Visiting Dr. Williams:
Poems Inspired by the Life and Work of William Carlos Williams (University of Iowa
Press, 2011), Haiku in English: The First Hundred Years (W.W. Norton & Company,
2013), and Please Excuse This Poem: 100 New Poems for the Next Generation (Viking

Of Entirety Say the Sentence
Ernst Meister
Translated by Graham Foust and Samuel Frederick
Completes an informal trilogy by Ernst Meister,
one of the great lyric post-war German poets.
Like his subject matter Meisters writing is ominous, intangible and inescapable.
Publishers Weekly
The translators of Wallless Space were brave to take on Meisters dense and un
usual poetry, and so far their work has been excellent. . . . Foust and Frederick
have preserved the phonetic elements of Meisters verseassonance, alliteration,
rhyme, anaphoraw ithout sacrificing the poets distilled diction and powerfully
short dimeter and trimeter lines.Christopher Shannon, Words Without Borders
One of the last books by post-war German poet and Georg Bchner Prizewinner
Ernst Meisterand the third to be translated into English by poet Graham Foust
and scholar Samuel FrederickO f Entirety Say the Sentence is his most expan
sive book. With rich allusions to Friedrich Hlderlin and Paul Celan, these
poems are staggering in their scope of mortality, time, and infinity.

To Drink Boiled Snow
Caroline Knox
Caroline Knoxs ninth collection of poetry, an ever-surprising delight,
masterful in its dedication to play and experiment.
One might argue that nothing is sacred in Caroline Knoxs work, but it would
be truer to its spirit to say that everything is sacred herea nd all are welcome.
R ebecca Frank, Boston Review
Caroline Knox reminds us how whangy and interesting it all is.C.D. Wright
She is often obscure, but her allusions are as much a sign of camaraderie as of
scholarly pretension, her poems a pert crystallization impossible in more narra
tive poetry.The New Yorker
Caroline Knox once again demonstrates that she is a master at lyrical billiards,
sending all levels of diction in surprising and comedic directions. No subject
matter is off-l imits for her examination. Her vast range of experiment is exciting,
and the ensuing poems are games, dreams, and riddles. This collection is art on
the page for the eye and the ear.
From Poem:
Of milk, these persons make the butter until have
what are cheeses when theyre at home;
of cheese, hors doeuvres of sandwich are manufactured
sandwich islands. The workforce custom subsume
draft cereal. Forasmuch as we
are not birdlike, we pig out, crikey,
put away comestibles big-time.
Caroline Knoxs most recent publications are Flemish (Wave Books, 2013), and
Nine Worthies (Wave Books, 2010). Quaker Guns (Wave Books, 2008) received
a Recommended Reading Award 2009 from the Massachusetts Center for the
Book. Six poems are anthologized in The Norton Anthology of Postmodern American
Poetry, Second Edition. She has received awards from the National Endowment
for the Arts, the Ingram Merrill Foundation, the Massachusetts Cultural Council
(1996, 2006), The Fund for Poetry, and the Yale/Mellon Visiting Faculty Program.

Tiger Fur
Salgado Maranho
Translated by Alexis Levitin
The wildly imaginative poems of Tiger Fur read like burning transcripts of one
possessed with the rare gift of pure poetry. The collection is a hymn to desire, and
to the ecstasy and pain of love, each poem aching with the yearning for connection. Its also a hymn to the imagination, and Maranhos love of linguistic play
and paradox makes these poems difficult to translate. Levitins finely nuanced, inspired renderings are, however, as wondrous as the originals. One cannot read this
collection without being marked, eyes ablaze and singed with the poets vision.

HeeDuk Ra
Translated by Daniel Parker and Youngsil Ji
HeeDuk Ras poems evoke thoughts about time and language. . . . Through her
work, time does not glide nor stand on the edge. It crumbles.SeokJo Gang,
literary critic
Wild Apple takes the reader to cultural and intellectual experiences: Native
American burial mounds, cremations at the Ganges River, the Paris morgue of
the nineteenth century, the movie Being John Malkovich, and the pointillism
of Georges Seurat. Ra also brings Korean culture to the American audience,
from the female clam divers to Buddhist temples.
HeeDuk Ra has published seven books of poetry. In 2007 she participated in
the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.

Compassion and Emptiness
in Early Buddhist Meditation
Bhikkhu Ana
layo
Exploring the meditative practices of compassion
and emptiness, Bhikkhu Ana
layo casts fresh light
on their earliest sources in the Buddhist tradition.
This book is the result of rigorous textual scholarship that can be valued not
only by the academic community, but also by Buddhist practitioners. This book
serves as an important bridge between those who wish to learn about Buddhist
thought and practice and those who wish to learn from it. . . . As a monk engaging himself in Buddhist meditation as well as a professor applying a historical-
critical methodology, Bhikkhu Anlayo is well positioned to bridge these two
communities. . . . Exploring the meditative practices of compassion and emptiness, Anlayo casts fresh light on their earliest sources in the Buddhist tradition.
17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje
Arising from the authors long-term, dedicated practice and study, this book provides a window into the depth and beauty of the Buddhas liberating teachings.
Serious meditation students will benefit tremendously from the clarity of understanding that Venerable Anlayos efforts have achieved.Sharon Salzberg
In this study, Venerable Anlayo brings a meticulous textual analysis of Pli
texts, the Chinese gamas and related material from Sanskrit and Tibetan to the
foundational topics of compassion and emptiness. While his analysis is grounded
in a scholarly approach, he has written this study as a helpful guide for meditation
practice.Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo
Bhikkhu Anlayo completed a PhD on the Satipat.t.hna-sutta at the University
of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, in 2000, published in 2003 by Windhorse Publications
under the title Satipat.t.hna: The Direct Path to Realization. At present Anlayo is a
professor of Buddhist studies at the Sri Lanka International Academy in Pallekele.

well as the shifting interventions with the international community. Chan is best
