Fall/Winter 2014-2015 Frontlist Catalog

Prenumbra
Beneath an angular web of scratchings-out Vagrant motives glow like phosphorus: low, creeping Tactics deny or dissolve whatever lies In their path. I lean into the wind that blows O the lake, and scours the sodden elds; the skys Reections ripple between ruts and bumps. I plunge Toward remote vanishing points, where one mans Loss unravels and becomes another mans Devastation. Streams of ravaged spores dip And swirl, and disappear, while downy Nettles shiver beside a bristling hedge. Crops, Sludge, restless drifts of leaves absorb The haggard light. Things ready themselves for a reckless Leap of faith: as storm clouds hurry above the shadowy Tree line, the contours between grow vexed and dim.

AK Press Dispatches Against Displacement

Field Notes from San Franciscos Housing Wars
James Tracy
San Francisco is being eroded by waves of cash owing north from Silicon Valley. Recent evictions of long-time San Francisco residents, outrageous rents and home prices, and blockaded Google buses are only the tip of the iceberg. James Tracys book focuses on the long arc of displacement over almost two decades of dot com boom and bust, oering the necessary perspective to analyze the latest urban horrors. A housing activist in the Bay Area since before Google existed, Tracy puts the hardships of the working poor and middle class front and center. These essays explore the battle for urban spacepublic housing residents ghting austerity, militant housing takeovers, the vagaries of federal and state housing policy, as well as showdowns against gentrication in the Mission District. From these experiences, Dispatches Against Displacement draws out a vision of what alternative urbanism might look like if our cities were developed by and for the people who bring them to life. James Tracy is a Bay Area native and a well-respected community organizer. He is co-founder of the San Francisco Community Land Trust (which uses public and private money to buy up housing stock and take it out of the real estate market), as well as a poet and co-author of Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power.

AK Press Educating for Insurgency

The Roles of Young People in Schools of Poverty
Jay Gillen
Foreword by Bob Moses
Desegregation has failed. Schools lled with black and brown students have become plantations of social control. Radical teachers and organizers in American public schools must help young people fashion an insurgency. This innovative book, written in the spirit of Paulo Freire, explains what such a rebellion means and how to create it: the tools and techniques needed to build social, cognitive, and political power. Jay Gillen teaches English in a Baltimore public school and has worked with the Algebra Project since 1995, building math literacy among youth of color and youth experiencing poverty in US public schools.

Anarchist Resistance Culture, 18482011
Jesse Cohn
An exhaustive study of the richly textured resistance culture anarchists create to sustain their ideals and identities amid everyday lives dened by capital and the state, a culture preguring a post-revolutionary world and allowing an escape from domination even while enmeshed in it. Whether discussing famous artists like Kenneth Rexroth, John Cage, and Diane DiPrima, or relatively unknown anarchist writers, Jesse Cohn clearly links aesthetic dynamics to political and economic ones. This is cultural criticism at its best.

AK Press Drug War Capitalism

Dawn Paley
Though pillage, prot, and plunder have been a mainstay of war since precolonial times, there is little contemporary focus on the role of nance and economics in todays Drug Warsdespite the fact that they boost US banks and ll our prisons with poor people. They feed political campaigns, increase the arms trade, and function as long-term xes to capitalisms woes, cracking open new territories to privatization and foreign direct investment. Combining on-the-ground reporting with extensive research, Dawn Paley moves beyond the usual horror stories, beyond journalistic rubbernecking and hand-wringing, to follow the thread of the Drug War story throughout the entire region of Latin America and all the way back to US boardrooms and political oces. This unprecedented book chronicles how terror is used against the population at large in cities and rural areas, generating panic and facilitating policy changes that benet the international private sector, particularly extractive industries like petroleum and mining. This is what is really going on. This is drug war capitalism. Dawn Paley is a freelance journalist who has been reporting from South America, Central America, and Mexico for over ten years. Her writing has been published in the Nation, the Guardian, Vancouver Sun, Globe and Mail, Ms. magazine, the Tyee, Georgia Straight, and NACLA, among others.

I Belong Only to Myself

The Life and Writings of Leda Rafanelli
Edited by Andrea Pakieser

Leda Rafanelli was one of the most prolic propagandists in early twentiethcentury Italy. A comrade of Benito Mussolini before he turned fascist, she converted to anarchism and Islam at the age of twenty, a combination characteristic of her iconoclastic approach to life and politics. Weaving excerpts from Rafanellis novels, poems, and essays with extensive biographical research, this book tells the story of the insurrections accompanying the birth of the Italian nation, the evolution of the anarchist movement, struggles for alternatives to bourgeois feminism, and the dangers faced by those opposing global war and fascism.

Militant Anti-Fascism
A Hundred Years of Resistance
M. Testa
Fascism is not a thing of the past and, in this era of crisis and austerity, it is growing even stronger. The ght against it must be aggressive and unrelenting. Using a mixture of orthodox history and eyewitness accounts, M. Testa makes the case for a resolutely militant anti-fascism, taking us from proto-fascists in nineteenth-century Austria to modern-day street-ghts in London. Provocative, unapologetic, and based on extensive research. M. Testa, undercover anti-fascist blogger, has analyzed the changing fortunes of the British far right since 2009. He has written for the anarchist magazine Freedom and is a member of the Anti-Fascist Network.

Akashic Books The Luminous Heart of Jonah S.

Gina B. Nahai
A skilled and inventive writer.The New York Times Book Review Nahais writing recalls that of Gabriel Garca Mrquez and Amy Tan, yet her prose bears its own stamp of inventiveness and vivacity. . . . A modern-day Scheherazade.Orlando Sentinel From Tehran to Los Angeles, The Luminous Heart of Jonah S. is a sweeping saga that tells the story of the Soleymans, an Iranian Jewish family tormented for decades by Raphaels son, a crafty and unscrupulous nancier who has futilely claimed to be an heir to the familys fortune. Forty years later in Los Angeles, Raphaels son has nearly achieved his goaluntil he suddenly disappears, presumed by many to have been murdered. The possible suspects are legion: his long-suering wife, numerous members of the Soleyman clan exacting revenge, the scores of investors he bankrupted in a Ponzi scheme, or perhaps even his disgruntled bookkeeper and longtime condant. Award-winner Gina B. Nahai pulls back the curtain on a close-knit community that survived centuries of persecution in Iran before settling and thriving in the United States, but now nds itself divided to the core by one of its own members.

Akashic Books Tehran at Twilight

Salar Abdoh
A remarkable meditation on violence, and on all the ways one bears witness to pain. Abdoh depicts a pulsating portrait of Tehrana mad city of entrenched loyalties and corrupt alliances, of smugglers, hustlers, and lifelong runners, of forged documents and lost corpses.Dalia Sofer, author of The Septembers of Shiraz Not since the London of Joseph Conrads Secret Agent has a city ticked with as much tense signicance as the Tehran of Salar Abdohs edgy, topical, yet deeply humane Tehran at Twilight.Brad Gooch, author of City Poet The year is 2008. Reza Maleks life is modest but manageablehe lives in a small apartment in Harlem, teaches at a local university, and is relieved to be far from the blood and turmoil of Iraq and Afghanistan where he worked as a reporter, interpreter, and sometime lover for a superstar journalist who has long since moved on to more remarkable men. After a terse phone call from his childhood best friend in Iran, Reza reluctantly returns to Tehran. Once there, Reza nds far more than he bargained for: the city is on the edge of revolution; his friend is embroiled with murderous Shia militants; his missing mother, who was alleged to have run o with a lover before the revolution, is alive and well; while his own life is in danger. Against a backdrop of corrupt mullahs, shady xers, political repression, and the ever-present threat of violence, Salar Abdoh oers a telling glimpse into contemporary Tehran and spins a compelling morality tale of identity and exile, the bonds of friendship, and the limits of loyalty. Salar Abdoh was born in Iran, and splits his time between Tehran and New York City, where he is co-director of the creative writing MFA program at the City College of New York.
Friendship, betrayal, and international intrigue populate this brilliant novel in the tradition of Graham Greene and John le Carr.

Akashic Books The Descartes Highlands

Eric Gamalinda
Like Walt Whitman, Gamalinda contains multitudesbut with a better sense of humor.The Nation Gamalindas wistful, erce, enthralled voice seems to speak the true language, the sotto voce language we cant hear in our world of binary and mutually destructive opposites.D. Nurkse, poet laureate of Brooklyn, New York Two men, each unaware of the other, share a common family secret: they were sold for adoption by their American father shortly after their births in the Philippines. Celebrated Filipino writer Eric Gamalindas international debut is a contemporary novel of ideas that combines mystery, lm noir, and existential philosophy. Highly intricate and written in a style reminiscent of the maverick narrative techniques of such lmmakers as Andrei Tarkovsky and Bla Tarr, and with some of the philosophical underpinnings of Michel Houellebecq or Javier Maras, The Descartes Highlands is named after the region of the moon where Apollo 16 landed in the same year these men were born. The Descartes Highlands was shortlisted for the 2009 Man Asian Literary Prize for unpublished works. Eric Gamalinda has previously published, in the Philippines, two collections of stories, three poetry collections, and four novels, including My Sad Republic, winner of the Philippine Centennial Prize in 1998. Born and raised in Manila, where he worked as a journalist covering everything from politics to rock music, Gamalinda currently lives in New York City and teaches at the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Columbia University.
The American debut novel by the winner of the National Book Award of the Philippines.

Praise for Nina Solomons Single Wife: Gripping and dreamy, this tale will please fans of Margaret Atwood and Alice Homan.Publishers Weekly Employing a seemingly eortless, breezy style, rst-novelist Solomon speaks with panache to the issue of commitment. . . . A witty, accomplished debut. Booklist It all starts when four unsuspecting women on a singles bike trip through Normandy discover a mysterious red book about love. But did they discover itor did the book bring them together? Magical words, spells, conjurations, and a little dose of synchronicity abound in The Love Book, an antirom com about the misadventures of four women who embark on a soul mateseeking journey. While on the surface a lighthearted romp, the novel is a serious exploration of the diculties women routinely encounter when their lives do not turn out the way society, their families, and they themselves may have planned. Nina Solomons rst novel, Single Wife, was a Book-of-the-Month Club, Literary Guild, Quality Paperback Book Club selection, and was optioned by Warner Bros. for lm. The Love Book was inspired by Solomons own search for a soul mate, who, she is happy to report, only took twenty-seven days and thirty years to nd his way to her. She was born and raised in New York City and has lived in the same zip code since she was ve.
An antiromantic comedy about the misadventures of four women who meet on a singles bike trip.

Akashic Books Primus, Over the Electric Grapevine

Insight into Primus and the World of Les Claypool
Primus with Greg Prato
Usually when the alternative rock revolution of the early 1990s is discussed, Nirvanas Nevermind is credited as the recording that led the charge. Yet there were several earlier albums that helped pave the way, including the Pixies Doolittle, the Red Hot Chili Peppers Mothers Milk, Janes Addictions Nothings Shocking, and especially Primus 1991 album Sailing the Seas of Cheese. This fascinating and beautifully curated oral history tells the tale of this truly one-of-a-kind band that merged funk, punk, rock, and experimental music, along with band founder Les Claypools unmistakable humor and songwriting style. Compiled from nearly fty all-new interviews conducted by journalist and author Greg Pratoincluding Primus members past and present, Tom Waits, Metallicas Kirk Hammett, Phishs Trey Anastasio, the Polices Stewart Copeland, Rage Against the Machines Tom Morello, 4 Non Blondes Linda Perry, Public Enemys Chuck D, and South Park co-creator Matt Stone this book is sure to appeal to longtime fans of the band, as well as admirers of the musicians interviewed for the book. Primus formed in 1984 and has released numerous albums, producing some of the most cutting-edge and original rock music of the past thirty years. Along the way, Primus toured with some of rocks biggest names (U2, Rush, Janes Addiction, Public Enemy, etc.), headlined the third Lollapalooza festival, and issued a variety of crafty music videos, which stood out in sharp contrast to the ultraseriousness of most other music videos at the time. Greg Prato is a Long Islandbased music journalist, whose writing has appeared in Rolling Stone. He is the author of numerous books, including A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other: The Story of Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon, Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music, and MTV Ruled the World: The Early Years of Music Video.

Akashic Books Akashic Noir Books Series Prison Noir

Edited by Joyce Carol Oates
This anthology presents an absolutely new perspective on prison literature. Some prisoners are encouraged to write, but few are encouraged to write crime ction set behind bars (in some institutions, that subject matter is prohibited). Joyce Carol Oates has done an outstanding job of curating a topnotch collection of stories that bring the reader truly behind the scenes of prison life. As Oates writes in her introduction to the volume, The blood jet is poetry these words of Sylvia Plath have reverberated through my experience of reading and rereading the stories of Prison Noir. In this case the blood jet is prose, though sometimes poetic prose; if we go a little deeper, in some chilling instances, the blood jet is exactly that: blood. . . . There is no need for fantasyhorror in a place in which matter-of-fact horror is the norm, and mental illness is epidemic. Vividly rendered realism is the predominant literary strategy, as in a riveting documentary lm. Features brand-new stories by Christopher M. Stephen, Sin Soracco, Scott Gutches, Eric Boyd, Ali F. Sareini, Stephen Geez, B.M. Dolarman, Zeke Caligiuri, Marco Verdoni, Kenneth R. Brydon, Linda Michelle Marquardt, Andre White, Timothy Pauley, Bryan K. Palmer, and William Van Poyck. Joyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Medal of Humanities, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, and the National Book Award. She has written some of the most enduring ction of our time, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys, Blonde, and The Falls. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University, and is the editor of New Jersey Noir.
A completely fresh, new, and frightening take on prison literature.

Alice James Books Sand Opera

Philip Metres
Sand Opera is what political poetry must be like today in our age of seemingly permanent war.Mark Nowak Sand Opera emerges from the dizzying position of being named but unheard as an Arab American and out of the parallel sense of seeing Arabs named and silenced since 9/11. Polyvocal poems, arias, and redacted text speak for the unheard. Philip Metres exposes our common humanity while investigating the dehumanizing perils of war and its lasting eect on our culture. From Hung Lyres: @ When the bombs fell, she could barely raise her pendulous head, wept shrapnel until her mother capped the re with her breast. She teetered on the highwire of herself. She lay down & the armies retreated, never showing their backs. When she unlatched from the breast, the planes took o again. Stubborn stars refused to fall . . .

Alice James Books Devil, Dear

Mary Ann McFadden
Devil, Dear teems with erotic life. These poems adore the world within us and outside us, embracing our hungers and imperfections alike.Joan Larkin Mary Ann McFaddens existential poems capture bizarre, sweet, and humorous moments oft unobserved. The poet explores the evolution of romantic relationships from lust-driven days to the blander ones found in lasting companionship. Devil, Dear takes us traveling near and far, examining comfort zones and boldly stepping beyond them. We face the disquietude of mortality with McFadden in fearlessness and wit. From That Year the Whales: All that spring the shadows made a changing shape on the neighbors clapboard walls: like rows of ocean waves where blisters from the summer sun began to swell with a cetacean grace, and let their bellies roll. I watched out my window while the slow months weight, that year the whales rose out of the green paint, pressed like coal in my throat, until the whole year lit up, and dove, and shrank itself to a minute. Mary Ann McFadden is a poet who has just returned to the United States after fteen years living in Mazatlan and in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She won the Four Way Books Intro Prize in 1995 and Eye of the Blackbird was published in 1997. Her poems have shown up in Green Mountains Review, Bloom, Psychology Tomorrow, the Marlboro Review, Southern Poetry Review, the American Voice, Moving Out, and elsewhere. McFadden taught at Brooklyn College, CUNY, and gave workshops at The New York City Libraries and at the Biblioteca in San Miguel. In 2010 she was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship. She currently lives in Riverside, California.
From a deeply intimate space, Devil, Dear evokes rich and powerful revelations about human love, life, and interaction.

Martina Evans
She is at once emotional and shrewd: hidden behind the rich lace-curtain of her personal charm, her existentialism sings.Thomas McCarthy Martina Evanss poems are a miracle, for the way they combine total clarity with profundity: the way the apparently innocent and observant humour of their narrative surface covers a compassion and understanding that are often heartbreaking and heartbroken.Bernard ODonoghue Following her prose poem-cum-novella Petrol (2013), Martina Evans returns to her childhood and adolescence in County Cork, Ireland, with poems and prose poems which begin with the impact of American culture and particularly rock n roll on the small town where she grew up. We move the Sacred Heart lamp closer to Elviss face now in the month of June. I think that those billboards of Vegas could be the Major cigarette sign or the Double Diamond Works Wonders in the lounge window round 75 or the BP pump shining in the blue Burnfort evening . . . We encounter ghosts, travelers, shoes, old movies, alcoholics, and even Bart Simpson in Evanss poems as we move from her school and college days, with their eccentric cast of teachers, to contemporary London and the sights, sounds, and characters of Balls Pond Road, where she lives with her daughter and three cats. The book ends with a series of poems about youthful reading from clandestine reading in class to the joy and escape of childhood reading the miracle / of the black marks straightening themselves / out into sense across the page.
Martina Evanss depiction of life in rural Irish communities and her critique of Catholicism is unparalleled in its imaginative accuracy.

Arsenal Pulp Press Skandalon

Julie Maroh
Julie Maroh burst onto the scene in 2013 with Blue Is the Warmest Color, a tender, bittersweet graphic novel about lesbian love, in which a young woman named Clementine becomes infatuated with Emma, a girl with blue hair. The book spawned a controversial and acclaimed feature lm that won the Palme dOr at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival as well as accolades for its stars Adle Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux; the book itself is a New York Times bestseller and received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Library Journal. Julies follow-up graphic novel, Skandalon, marks a startling change of pace: a ery, intense story about the recklessness of fame. Skandalon, found in the Gospels, refers to a persistent trap or obstacle, such as the one that confounds the mesmerizing, Jim Morrison-like lead character Tazane. He is a true rock icon: passionate, arrogant, selsh, and sometimes violent, the charismatic singer is a beacon for controversy and scandal. But the public that worships him and the media that lavishes attention on him are waiting for him to fall from grace. At times shocking, Skandalon is a powerful and relentless meditation on the high cost of fame and the demons awaiting anyone who refuses to be wary of them. Julie Maroh is an author and illustrator originally from northern France. She studied comic art at the Institute Saint-Luc in Brussels and lithography and engraving at the Royal Academy of Arts in Brussels.
By the author of Blue Is the Warmest Color : a stunning graphic novel on the downfall of a rock legend.

Arsenal Pulp Press She of the Mountains

Vivek Shraya
In the beginning, there is no he. There is no she. Two cells make up one cell. This is the mathematics behind creation. One plus one makes one. Life begets life. We are the period to a sentence, the eect to a cause, always belonging to someone. We are never our own. This is why we are so lonely. She of the Mountains is a beautifully rendered illustrated novel that weaves a passionate contemporary love story with a retelling of an epic Hindu legend. A gay man of Indian origin learns to embrace his own sexuality, yet he is the most surprised of all when he enters into a relationship with a straight woman. Interwoven with this story is a re-imagining of Hindu mythology concerning the gods Shiva and Parvati and their elephant-headed son Ganesh. Both narratives explore the complexities of embodiment and the damaging eects that policing gender and sexuality can have on the human heart; together, they honor the concept of the feminine in all its forms. Vivek Shraya is a multimedia artist working in the mediums of music, performance, literature, and lm. His most recent lm, What I LOVE about Being QUEER, has been expanded to include an online project and book with contributions from around the world. He is also author of God Loves Hair.

Michael Coffey
Once I started reading these stories, I couldnt stop. They absorbed me thoroughly, with their taut narratives and evocative languagethe language of a poet.Jay Parini, author of Jesus: The Human Face of God and The Last Station Whether [Coey is] writing about a sinning priest or a man whos made a career out of branding or about himself, we can smell Coeys protagonists and feel their breath on our cheek. Like Chekhov, he must be a notebook writer; how else to explain the strange quirks and the perfect but unaccountable details that animate these intimate portraits?Edmund White, author of Inside a Pearl and A Boys Own Story Among these eight stories, a fan of writer (and fellow adoptee) Harold Brodkey gains an audience with him at his lifes end, two pals take a Joycean sojourn, a man in the business of naming things meets a woman who may not be what she seems, a father discovers his son is suspected in an assassination attempt on the President. In each tale, Michael Coeys exquisite attention to character and nuance underlies the brutally honest perspectives of his disenchanted fathers, damaged sons, and orphans left feeling perpetually disconnected.

Bellevue Literary Press Impromptu Man

J.L. Moreno and the Origins of Psychodrama, Encounter Culture, and the Social Network
Jonathan D. Moreno
J.L. Moreno, who fathered psychodrama, set a new world in motion. I doubt he ever dreamed his lifes work would change the lives of trial lawyers and the people they represent, providing us with a new way to communicate and give justice a chance. This book restores him to his rightful place in history. Gerry Spence, author of How to Argue and Win Every Time and founder of Trial Lawyers College Jacob L. Moreno (18891974) was an early critic of Sigmund Freud, wrote landmark works of Viennese expressionism, founded an experimental theater where he discovered Peter Lorre, inuenced Martin Buber, and became one of the most important psychiatrists and social scientists of his time. A mystic, theater impresario, and inventor in his youth, Moreno immigrated to America in 1926, where he trained famous actors, introduced group therapy, and was a forerunner of humanistic psychology. As a social reformer he reorganized schools, prisons, and refugee camps. Morenos methods have been adopted by improvisational theater, military organizations, educators, business leaders, and trial lawyers. His studies of social networks laid the groundwork for social media like Twitter and Facebook. Using original interviews with gures like Clay Shirky, Gloria Steinem, and Werner Erhard, written sources, and the authors own perspective growing up as the son of an innovative genius, Impromptu Man is the study of a great and largely unsung gure of the last century. Jonathan D. Moreno, called the most interesting bioethicist of our time by the American Journal of Bioethics, is the David and Lyn Silfen University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.
The untold story of the creative genius behind major twentieth-century movements in therapy and theater and his lasting inuence.

Bellevue Literary Press Keep Out of Reach of Children

Reyes Syndrome, Aspirin, and the Politics of Public Health
Mark A. Largent
Reyes syndrome, identied in 1963, was a debilitating, rare condition that typically aicted healthy children just emerging from the u or other minor illnesses. It began with vomiting, followed by confusion, coma, and in 50 percent of all cases, death. Survivors were often left with permanent liver or brain damage. Desperate, terrorized parents and doctors pursued dramatic, often ineectual treatments. For over fteen years, many inconclusive theories were posited as to its causes. The Centers for Disease Control dispatched its Epidemic Intelligence Service to investigate, culminating in a study that suggested a link to aspirin. Congress held hearings at which parents, researchers, and pharmaceutical executives testied. The result was a warning to parents and doctors to avoid pediatric use of aspirin, leading to the widespread substitution of alternative fever and pain reducers. But before a true cause was denitively established, Reyes syndrome simply vanished. A harrowing medical mystery, Keep Out of Reach of Children is the rst and only book to chart the history of Reyes syndrome and reveal the conuence of scientic and social forces that determined the public health policy response, for better or for ill. Mark A. Largent, a survivor of Reyes syndrome, is the author of Vaccine: The Debate in Modern America and Breeding Contempt: The History of Coerced Sterilization in the United States. He is a historian of science, associate professor in James Madison College at Michigan State University, and associate dean in Lyman Briggs College at Michigan State University. He lives in Lansing, Michigan.
A modern medical mystery about an illness that ravaged healthy children, changed policy, and vanished before a cause was found. Marketing Plans

Biteback Publishing Misha

Saakashvili, Georgia and the Inside Story of the War that Shook the Post-Soviet World
Alesandros Petersen, PhD, and Richard Cashman

Released to mark the anniversary of Russias invasion of Georgia in August 2006, this is the turbulent history of Georgias past decade through the prism of its most consequential citizen, President Mikhail Misha Saakashvili, and tells how he engineered Georgias peaceful Rose Revolution, went to war with Russia, irted with autocracy, and secured the countrys democratic future by conceding defeat in 2012 elections. It is the story of the transformation of an authoritarian, corruption-ridden, post-Soviet basket case into what the United States called a beacon of liberty, widely feted for its sweeping reforms, economic transparency, and ambitions to join NATO and the European Union. Based on hours of discussion with Saakashvili and interviews with his advisors and fellow travelers, and with interviews with recently retired American and Georgian ocials, the story of Georga and its leader, Mikhail Misha Saakashvili, holds lessons for nations in transition across the globe. Alexandros Petersen, PhD, is the author of The World Island: Eurasian Geopolitics and the Fate of the West. He was tragically killed in an attack on a Kabul restaurant in January 2014. Richard Cashman is a barrister of The Middle Temple specializing in international law and a fellow at the London foreign policy think tank The Henry Jackson Society.
The story of the transition to democracy of a post-Soviet nation through the work of one visionary leader.

Biteback Publishing On the Run

Deserters through the Ages
Graeme Kent
There have been many books written about valor in battle. This is not one of them. On the contrary, On The Run deals entirely with those men and women who, over thousands of years, have departed with alacrity and for multifarious reasons from life in the armed forces. For as long as there have been wars there have been those who have ed, sometimes precipitously, from the cannons roar. This fascinating history of deserters and desertion, from the beginning of recorded time to the present day, details many of those characters who, for a multitude of often complex reasons, have gone absent without leave. Among their number are poets and pugilists, thieves and thugs, lovers and lunatics, princes and politicians, comedians and conspirators, lm stars and fanatics, and even a Pope, all brought together by the simple fact that at one time or another they went on the run. Covering thousands of years in time and over forty dierent countries, this extraordinary book, the rst of its kind, presents a fascinating anecdotal history of perhaps the most controversial and emotive subject in war, in this and any other age. Graeme Kent is a former BBC producer and author of The Strongest Men on Earth.

Biteback Publishing Helen Suzman

Bright Star in a Dark Chamber
Robin Renwick
Helen Suzman was sharp, incisive, principled and loads of fun. So is this biography. . . . Brings Helen Suzman to life.John Carlin, author of Invictus Helen Suzman was the voice of South Africas conscience during the darkest days of apartheid. She stood alone in parliament, confronted by a legion of highly chauvinist male politicians. Armed with the relentless determination and biting wit for which she became renowned, Suzman battled the racist regime and earned her reputation as a legendary anti-apartheid campaigner. Despite constant antagonism and the threat of violence, she forced into the global spotlight the injustices of the countrys minority rule. Access to Suzmans papers, including her unpublished correspondence with Nelson Mandela, was granted by her family to the author, former British ambassador to South Africa Robin Renwick, who has penned a book rich with examples of her humor and political brilliance. This rst full biography goes beyond her famous struggle against apartheid into her criticisms of the postapartheid government. It is a fascinating insight into the life of a truly great South African and her role in one of the most important struggles in modern history. Robin Renwick, Baron Renwick of Clifton, is a crossbench peer in the House of Lords. He is the author of A Journey with Margaret Thatcher.
This extraordinary biography casts light on an unknown chapter in the story of apartheid South Africa.

Kim Philby, the so-called Third Man in the Cambridge spy ring, was one of the Cold Wars most infamous traitors. He was a Soviet spy at the heart of British intelligence, joining Britains secret service, MI6, during the war, rising to become head of the section tasked with rooting out Russian spies and then head of liaison with the CIA. Philby betrayed hundreds of British and US agents to the Russians and compromised numerous operations inside the Soviet Union. Protected by friends within MI6 who could not believe the services rising star was a traitor, he was eventually dismissed in 1951, but continued to work for the service surreptitiously until his defection in 1963. His admission of guilt caused profound embarrassment to the British government of the day and its intelligence service, from which neither fully recovered. Tim Milne, Philbys close friend since childhood and recruited by him into MI6 to be his deputy, has left us a memoir that provides the nal and most authoritative word on the enduring and fascinating story of Kim Philby the legendary Soviet master spy. It is a riveting read, with new detail on Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, two other members of the Cambridge spy ring, and on Konstantin Volkov, the would-be KGB defector who was betrayed by Philby, one of several hundred people who died as a direct result of Philbys treachery. Tim Milne retired from SIS in October 1968 and never spoke publicly of his friendship with Kim Philby.
Published for the rst time, the full account of Britains most notorious Cold War villain.

Bitter Lemon Press The Lost Pre-Raphaelite

The Secret Life and Loves of Robert Bateman
Nigel Daly
When the author bought a falling down fortied house on the Staordshire moorlands, he had no reason to anticipate the astonishing tale that would unfold as it was restored. A mysterious set of relationships emerged amongst its former owners, revolving round the almost forgotten artist, Robert Bateman, a prominent Pre-Raphaelite and friend of Burne Jones. He was to marry the granddaughter of the Earl of Carlisle, and to be associated with Benjamin Disraeli, William Gladstone, and other prominent political and artistic gures. But he had abandoned his life as an artist in mid-career to live as a recluse, and his rich and glamorous wife-to-be had married the local vicar, already in his sixties and shortly to die. The discovery of two clearly autobiographical paintings led to an utterly absorbing forensic investigation into Batemans life. The story moves from Staordshire to Lahore, to Canada, Wyoming, and then, via Bualo Bill, to Peru and back to England. It leads to the improbable respectability of Imperial Tobacco in Bristol, and then, less respectably, to a car park in Stoke-on-Trent. En route the author pieces together an astonishing and deeply moving story of love and loss, of art and politics, of morality and hypocrisy, of family secrets concealed but never quite completely obscured. The result is a page-turning combination of detective story and tale of human frailty, endeavor, and love. It is also a portrait of a signicant artist, a reassessment of whose work is long overdue. Nigel Daly is an antique dealer and house restorer.
An astonishing rediscovery of a neglected artist and of a scandalous love affair. A remarkable and page-turning historical detective story.

Bitter Lemon Press Summers of Discontent

The Purpose of the Arts Today
Raymond Tallis with Julian Spalding
Since the time of the ancient Greeks, philosophers have pondered the nature and purpose of the arts, but artists have gone on making them and audiences enjoying them regardless of these musings. None of their theories have met with universal or even popular acceptance. But here is theory that places the artsall the artsrmly and squarely within everyones everyday experiences. Summers of Discontent goes to the heart of the arts. Its an examination of why artists create them in the rst place and why we all feel the need for them. Raymond Tallis thinks the arts spring from our inability as humans fully to experience our experiences; from our hunger for a more rounded, more complete sense of the world. Talliss thesis is original and fresh, down-to-earth and life-enhancing. Above all it is practical and intelligible. It will inspire anyone who feels the creative urge today, or anyone who wants to understand why and how the arts enrich their lives and those of others. Raymond Tallis is a leading academic doctor, poet, philosopher, and cultural critic. Author of more than twenty books, he was until his retirement professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Manchester.

Murky circumstances surround his investigation of a Jewish businessmans murder. Neo-Nazi violence, intergenerational intrigue, shady loanspredictable lines of investigation lead to unpredictable culprits. But a second killing strikes closer to home, and the Finnish Security Police come knocking.

Inaugural recipient of the annual Horatio Nelson Fiction Prize from Black Balloon Publishing. Mike Meginnis is my favorite kind of writerextraordinarily inventive, formally curious, profoundly movingand his Fat Man and Little Boy is a debut of impressive ambition, a reinvention of the historical novel, an existential thriller powered by the booming engines of history, the atom, the human heart. Matt Bell, author of In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods Two bombs over Japan. Two shells. One called Little Boy, one called Fat Man. Three days apart. The one implicit in the other. Brothers. In this remarkable debut novel, the atomic bombs dropped on Japan are personied as Fat Man and Little Boy. This small measure of humanity is a cruelty the bombs must suer. Given life from death, the brothers journey is one of surreal and unsettling discovery, transforming these symbols of mass destruction into beacons of longing and hope. Mike Meginnis has published stories in Best American Short Stories 2012, the Collagist, PANK, and many others. He contributes regularly to HTML Giant and Kill Screen. Mike earned his MFA at New Mexico State University, where he served as a managing editor of Puerto del Sol.

52 Writers Raise a Glass to Their Favorite Bar
Edited by Sean Manning

Foreword by Malachy McCourt
If you ask me, the ongoing bar boom is owed in large partperhaps even entirelyto social media; Netix, Apple TV, and other streaming entertainment; and online shopping. Seriously, what the hell do you need to leave your house for anymore? The bar is one of the last bastions of genuine human interaction. Public houses they were once called; its a moniker that seems more and more deserving to be revived. A neighborhood bar can become as comfortable as a second home or a memory best avoideda wild evening half remembered and better forgotten. But what makes a particular bar special, better than the one just down the street? The answers vary considerably as writers share personal stories of drinking from watering holes far and wide, located from an island on the equator to the frigid windswept landscape of Antarctica. Funny, smart, and poignant, this collection is an opportunity to be a y on the wall in the comfort of your own home. Here is a chance to do some armchair drinking with Rosie Schaap, Jack Hitt, Jim Shepard, Du McKagan, Laura Lippman, Andrew W.K., Craig Finn, Darin Strauss, and many more.

BOA Editions, Ltd. Copia

Erika Meitner
The poems in Copia are about what is and what is almost-gone, what is in limbo and what wont give way, what is almost at rock bottom but still and always brimming with the possibility of miracle.Rachel Zucker Erika Meitners fourth book takes cues from the Land Artists of the 1960s who created work based on landscapes of urban peripheries and structures in various states of disintegration. The collection also includes a section of documentary poems about Detroit that were commissioned for Virginia Quarterly Review. Because it is an uninhabited place, because it makes me hollow, I pried open the pages of Detroit: the houses blanked out, factories absorbed back into ghetto palms and scruboak, piles of tires, heaps of cement block. Vines knock and enter through shattered drop-ceilings, glassless windows. Ragwort cracks the streets asphalt to unsolvable puzzles. Meitner also probes the hulking ruins of oce buildings, tract housing, superstores, construction sites, and freeways, and doesnt shy from the interactions that occur in Walmart and supermarket parking lots. It is nearly Halloween, which means wrong sizes on Wal-Mart racks, variety bags of pumpkins extinguishing themselves on the stoop children from the trailer park trawling our identical lawns soon so we can give away nickels, light, sandpaper, raisins, cement. Erika Meitner was a 2009 National Poetry Series winner. Her work has appeared in American Poetry Review, Ploughshares, Tin House, The Best American Poetry 2011, Kenyon Review, and elsewhere. She is associate professor of English at Virginia Tech.
Started as a Virginia Quarterly Review documentary project, Copia examines the now-bankrupt city of Detroit, once the thriving heart of the American Dream.

a memoir in fractures
Julie Marie Wade
For a long time, everything only happened to other people, Julie Wade writes. Or so she thought. She records her falls. The stunned body, the purloined speech she experiences after crashing to the ground from a swing. The sensation of slipping from the platform saddle atop a circus elephant, sliding at as a penny against his wrinkled skin, rattling the bones of my ribs. The shame and uncertainty of being spilled from the security of parental love. And, nally, triumphantly, the felix culpa, the fortunate fall, of love. Juxtaposed against the fragmentary structure of the memoir, this fall comprises both the energy source, the burning center of the book, and its thematic vantage point. Falling in love is an explosion in Julies mind as well as her body, an epiphany that remakes the map of her world, slicing the knot of her parents shame, unmasking the visceral truths of her body. In love she is in motion, reimagining the past, striking out on road trips. Suddenly, she is living, grabbing, tasting, writing, her mouth full of honey and moonlight, her mind are. And we are reminded yes, this is what love does, this is how it saves us.

Things are great for LAPD Lieutenant Franco; shes sober, loved, eligible for retirementand bored absolutely out of her mind. When her squad is called out to investigate a decades-old homicide, Frank happily volunteers to get out of Dodge and follow the clues north to a small town in the Salinas Valley. There, the evidence unexpectedly leads Frank into the untamed wilderness of the Santa Lucia Mountains where she confronts the victims daughter, Sal Saladino.

Baxter Clare earned a masters degree in biology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and promptly turned her hand to writing. A practicing wildlife biologist, she lives in central California with her wife, dogs, cats, and chickens. Clare is a Lambda Literary Award nalist.

Eerie red marks on the apartments ceiling kept Zack and his wife on edge. The landlord warned them not to open a door in the apartment that led to nowhere. Our Japanese visitors had no problem putting a name to it . . . they would sense the vibes of the place, look around a bit and inevitably say Ahhh . . . yurei ga deteru. There is a yurei here. Combining his lifelong interest in Japanese tradition and his personal experiences with these vengeful spirits, Davisson launches an investigation into the origin, popularization, and continued existence of yurei in Japan. Juxtaposing historical documents and legends against contemporary yureibased horror lms such as The Ring, Davisson explores the persistence of this paranormal phenomenon in modern day Japan and its continued spread throughout the West.

City Lights Publishers In Search of the Movement

The Struggle for Civil Rights Then and Now
Benjamin Hedin
In 1963, John Perdew was arrested in Georgia for demonstrating against segregation and was convicted of sedition, a capital crime. Fifty years ago Perdew and others of his generation worked to overthrow Jim Crow and open the polling booths for all Americans. Recently, the front page of the New York Times ran these headlines: Desegregation Deal Completed, Federal Scrutiny of Voting. In the last fty years, has America progressed on matters of race, or are we stalledor even moving backward? With these questions in mind, Benjamin Hedin set out to visit the places and people who shaped the civil rights movement. I wanted to nd the movement in its contemporary guise, he writes, which also meant answering the critical question of what happened to it after the 1960s. He proles some legendary gures, like John Lewis, Robert Moses, and Julian Bond, and meets with many whose story has never been told and who are continuing the ght today. In these pages the movement is portrayed as never before, as a vibrant tradition of activism that remains in our midst. Combining history with journalism and travelogue, In Search of the Movement is a fascinating meditation on patterns of history, as well as an indelible look at the meaning and limits of American freedom. Benjamin Hedin has written for the New Yorker, Slate, the Nation, and the Chicago Tribune. Hes the editor of Studio A: The Bob Dylan Reader, and the producer and author of a forthcoming documentary lm, The Blues House.
A denitive account of the legacy of the civil rights movement and the work that continues to be done today.

Mumia Abu-Jamal
Edited by Johanna Fernandez Foreword by Cornel West
Abu-Jamal [has an] ever-lucid voice and humanistic point of view . . . eloquent and indelible.Booklist, starred review From the rst slave writings to contemporary hip hop, the canon of African American literature oers a powerful counter-narrative to dominant notions of American culture, history, and politics. Resonant with voices of prophecy and resistance, the African American literary tradition runs deep with emancipatory currents that have had an indelible impact on the United States and the world. Mumia Abu-Jamal has been one of our most important contributors to this canon for decades, writing from the connes of the US prison system to give voice to those most silenced by chronic racism, impoverishment, and injustice. Writing on the Wall is a selection of one hundred previously unpublished essays that crystalize Mumia Abu-Jamals essential perspectives on community, politics, power, social change, and US history. From discussions of Rosa Parks and Trayvon Martin to John Walker Lindh and Edward Snowden, Abu-Jamal articulates lucid, humorous, and often prescient insight into the past, present, and future of American politics and society. Written as radio commentaries from his prison cell in Death Row, where he was held in solitary connement for close to thirty years, Mumias revolutionary perspective brims with hope, encouragement, and profound faith in the possibility of social change and redemption. Mumia Abu-Jamal is an award-winning journalist and author of two bestselling books, Live From Death Row and Death Blossoms. Johanna Fernandez is a Fulbright Scholar and professor of history at Baruch College in New York City.

City Lights Publishers Two-Way Mirror

A Poetry Notebook
David Meltzer
The poem is perhaps the highest verbal form of communication. It illuminates and it conceals. It is as precise and as vague as a mirror. Two-Way Mirror is a classic book of poetics by Beat Generation poet David Meltzer. Written in short remarks, autobiographical anecdotes, and inspirational quotations drawn from philosophical, ethnographic, and literary sources, Two-Way Mirror is both a nondidactic guide to the art Meltzer has devoted his life to and a literary pleasure in itself. Attractively bound and printed in a deluxe gift edition and featuring Meltzers collection of found artwork collaged from thrift-store grammar books, this new and expanded edition retains the charm of the original while updating it for the present day. Building upon the version he self-published in 1977, Meltzer has written additional material that considers the eect of technological developments since the books publication, as well as an afterword in which he reects on the history of the volume, its inception, and its usefulness. With its various writing prompts, Two-Way Mirror has proven to be both inspirational and practical, a teaching tool and a guide to creativity that makes the perfect gift for poets at any stage of development. David Meltzer is a poet, novelist, editor, and musician. He has edited many anthologies, including SF Beat: Talking with the Poets. His most recent book is When I Was a Poet, Number 60 in the City Lights Pocket Poets Series. Lawrence Ferlinghetti has called him one of the greats of post-World War Two San Francisco poets and musicians.

City Lights Publishers The Poetry Deal

Diane di Prima
The Poetry Deal is the rst full-length collection of individual poems in decades from legendary feminist Beat poet Diane di Prima. Framed by two passionate, and critical, prose statements assessing her adopted home city, The Poetry Deal is a collection of poems that provide a personal and political look at forty years of Bay Area culture. Often elegiac in tone, the book captures the poets sense of loss as she chronicles the deaths of friends from the AIDS epidemic as well as the passing of illustrious countercultural colleagues like Philip Whalen, Pigpen from the Grateful Dead, and Kirby Doyle. She also recalls and mourns out-of-town inspirations like Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Audre Lorde, and Ezra Pound. Yet even as she laments the state of her city today, she nds triumph and solace in her own relationships, the marriages of her friends, the endurance of City Lights, and other symbols of San Franciscos heritage. Born in Brooklyn in 1934, Diane di Prima emerged as a member of the Beat Generation in New York in the late 50s; in the early 60s, she founded the important mimeo magazine The Floating Bear with her lover LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka). In the late 60s, she moved to San Francisco, where she would publish her groundbreaking Revolutionary Letters (1971) with City Lights. Her other important books include Memoirs of a Beatnik, Pieces of a Dream, Recollections of My Life as a Woman, and Loba. She was named San Francisco Poet Laureate in 2009.

A cautious, reserved professor of Spanish literature, she has no idea that her quiet life is about to be turned upside down. When shes asked to review the work of a young, ambitious rst-time novelist, she meets Daniel, and their love aair leads her to question both the choices shes made so far in her life and the opportunities she might yet still have. Theirs is the story of an intense and impossible love, set in todays Havana, a city where there can be no plans, where chance is the order of the day, and where a erce sense of loyalty and pride coexists with the desire to live beyond the islands isolation. Their love aair is marked by the ever-present choice of staying on the island or migrating out, a choice Cubans face on a daily basis. The hope of a common future shatters into individual and incompatible goals, as the dilemma of living or leaving is confronted with humor, irony, and a dose of melancholy. Mylene Fernndez-Pintados novels have won the Italo Calvino Prize and Cubas Critics Award. She currently lives between Havana and Lugano, Switzerland. This is the rst of her works to be translated into English.
In contemporary Havana, Do I stay or do I go? is always the question, and love doesnt necessarily conquer all.

City Lights Publishers The Penguins Song

Hassan Daoud
Translated by Marilyn Booth
Hassan Daoud crafts narrative gold from the dust of narrow lives. al-Hayat London As war wreaks havoc on the historic heart of Beirut, tenants of the old city are pushed to the margins and obliged to live on the surrounding hillsides, where it seems they will stay forever, waiting. The dream of return becomes a way of life in the unending time of war. The Penguin is a physically deformed young man who lives with his aging mother and father in one of the temporary buildings. His father spends his days on the balcony of their apartment, looking at the far-o city and pining for his lost way of life. Mother and father both nd their purpose each day in worrying about the future for their son, while he spends his time in an erotic fantasy world, centered on a young woman who lives in the apartment below. Poverty and family crisis go hand in hand as the young man struggles with his isolation and unfullled sexual longing. Voted The Best Arabic Novel of the Year when it was rst published, The Penguins Song is a nely wrought parable of how one can live out an entire life in the dream of returning to another.

City Lights Publishers Man Alive

A True Story of Violence, Forgiveness and Becoming a Man
Thomas Page McBee
Thomas McBees memoir grips you like a thriller yet reads with the lyricism of poetry as he details how a brush with violence sent him on quest to untangle a sinister past and freed him to become the man he was meant to be. Michelle Tea What does it really mean to be a man? In Man Alive, Thomas Page McBee attempts to answer that question by focusing on two of the men who most impacted his lifeone, his otherwise ordinary father who abused him as a child, and the other, a mugger who threatened his life and then released him in an odd moment of mercy. Standing at the brink of the life-changing decision to transition from female to male, McBee seeks to understand these examples of awed manhood as he cobbles together his own identity. Man Alive engages an extraordinary personal story to tell a universal one how we all struggle to create ourselves, and how this struggle often requires risks. Far from a transgender transition tell-all, Man Alive grapples with the larger questions of legacy and forgiveness, love and violence, agency and invisibility. Thomas Page McBee is a masculinity expert for VICE and writes the column Self-Made Man for the Rumpus. His essays and reportage have appeared in the New York Times, TheAtlantic.com, Salon, and Buzzfeed, where he is a regular contributor on gender issues. Thomas has given lectures about masculinity and media narratives at colleges across the country, and currently lives in New York.
Far from a transgender transition tell-all, here is a personal yet universal story of charting ones course to ultimate self-recognition.

City Lights Publishers Beautiful Chaos

A Life in the Theater
Carey Perloff
Her love of people, art, and the human process of creating theater is infectious. She has such a beautiful way of expressing her passion about art and its making that inevitably draws people into her ever-expanding circle. One has no choice but to believe in her passion because she believes in it so fervently herself. Thats what makes a natural leader.Constantine Kitsopoulos, music director and conductor As San Franciscos legendary American Conservatory Theater prepares to celebrate its ftieth anniversary, artistic director Carey Perlo pens a lively and revealing memoir of her twenty-plus years at the helm and delivers a provocative and impassioned manifesto for the role of live theater in todays technology-infused world. Perlos personal and professional journeyher life as a woman in a maledominated profession, as a wife and mother, a playwright, director, producer, arts advocate, and citizen in a city erupting with enormous changeis a compelling, entertaining story for anyone interested in how theater gets made. She oers a behind-the-scenes perspective, including her intimate working experiences with well-known actors, directors, and writers, including Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, Robert Wilson, David Strathairn, and Olympia Dukakis. Whether reminiscing about her turbulent rst years as a young woman taking over an insolvent theater in crisis and transforming it into a thriving, world-class performance space, or ruminating on the potential for its future, Perlo takes on critical questions about arts education, cultural literacy, gender disparity, leadership, and power. Carey Perlo is an award-winning playwright, theater director, and the artistic director of the American Conservatory Theater of San Francisco since 1992.
Carey Perloffs memoir of her career in the theater offers a provocative, passionate, and deeply personal view of theaters role today.

In Deep Code, John Coletti explores side language, as a subset of other languages, whether slang or metaphor, to communicate and obfuscate. With a fragmentation more cubist than language poetry, Coletti portrays urban experience, from power relations and personal loss to nights among city dwellers, fashioning language into something both recognizable and mysterious. John Coletti is the author of the book Mum Halo (2010) and co-author, with Anselm Berrigan, of Skasers (2012). At Columbia University, he studied poetry with Kenneth Koch and Ron Padgett. He has served as editor of The Poetry Project Newsletter and co-edits Open 24 Hours Press.

Coach House Books Curationism

How Curating Took Over the Art World and Everything Else
David Balzer
Curate is now a buzzword applied to everything from music festivals to artisanal chocolate. Inside the art world, the curator reigns supreme, acting as the face of high-prole group shows and biennials in a way that can eclipse and assimilate the contributions of individual artists. At the same time, curatorial studies programs are growing in number, and businesses are increasingly adopting curation as a means of providing content and courting demographics. Everyone, it seems, is a now a curator. But what is curation exactly, and what does its explosive popularity say about our cultures ongoing relationship with taste and expression? In this incisive and original study, critic David Balzer travels through art history and around the globe (from Miami to Tokyo to Berlin) to explore the cult of curationwhere it began, how it came to dominate museums and galleries, and how it was co-opted at the turn of the millennium as the dominant mode of organizing and giving value to content. At the center of the book is a paradox: curation is institutionalized and expertise-driven like never before, yet the rst independent curators were not formally trained, and any act of choosing has become a curation. Is the professional curator an oxymoron? Has curation reached a sort of endgame, where its democratization has led to its demystication, even to its own demise? David Balzer is a regular contributor to the Believer, Modern Painters, and Artforum.com, and is currently associate editor at Canadian Art.
Now that we curate even lunch, what happens to the role of the curator in the art world?

Coach House Books The Inspection House

An Impertinent Field Guide to Modern Surveillance
Tim Maly and Emily Horne

In 1787, British philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham conceived of the panopticon, a ring of cells observed by a central watchtower, as a laborsaving device for those in authority. While Benthams design was ostensibly for a prison, he believed that any number of places that require supervision factories, poorhouses, hospitals, and schoolswould benet from such a design. The French philosopher Michel Foucault took Bentham at his word. In his groundbreaking 1975 study, Discipline and Punish, the panopticon became a metaphor to describe the creeping eects of personalized surveillance as a means for ever-ner mechanisms of control. Forty years later, the available tools of scrutiny, supervision, and discipline are far more capable and insidious than Foucault dreamed, and yet less eective than Bentham hoped. Shopping malls, container ports, terrorist holding cells, and social networks all bristle with cameras, sensors, and trackers. But, crucially, they are also rife with resistance and prime opportunities for revolution. The Inspection House is a tour through several of these sitesfrom Guantnamo Bay to the Occupy Oakland camp and the authors own mobile devicesproviding a stark, vivid portrait of our contemporary surveillance state and its opponents.

Coach House Books The Sleepworker

Cyrille Martinez
Translated by Joseph Patrick Stancil
As New York, capital of the twentieth century, recedes from memory, it becomes more like Paris; we ock to it to pay tribute to the great things that once happened there. New York is now a miasma of apocryphal myths feasting on its own corpse. On these pages, Martinez spins hazy rumor and wilting gossip into blistering contemporary ction, holding up Warhols mirror to the myth of Warhol himself. The result is a delicious celebration of simulacra where, like New York New York itself, nothing is true, but everything is permitted. Kenneth Goldsmith John is a poet. Only John almost never writes poems, because he is also unemployed. He lives with four friends, and they squat in a loft in New York New York, a fantastical city that resembles the Big Apple, but also any other city where artists live. They throw fabulous parties and practice group sodomy. That is, until John meets Andy. Andy is an artist. Well, he is if you dene art as something that people dont want but the artist wants to give them anyway. A gallery owner with Tourette syndrome discovers his work and Andy is on his way to being famous. John, on the other hand, is hard at work at being unemployed, drinking all night and sleeping all daywhich leaves him very little time for writing poems. Andy, watching him sleep, has an intriguing idea for a piece of art that he thinks will allow John to get paid for what he does best. Using the story of Andy Warhol and John Giorno and their lm Sleep as a starting point, The Sleepworker reads like a Warhol lm on fast-forward. Cyrille Martinez is a poet and novelist living in Paris. This is his English debut. Joseph Patrick Stancil has studied French and translation at UNC-Chapel Hill and New York University. He currently lives in New York, New York.
Cyrille Martinez brazenly does to the novel what Andy Warhol did to the tomato soup can.

Lisa Robertson
Robertson proves hard to explain but easy to enjoy. . . . Dauntlessly and resourcefully intellectual, Robertson can also be playful or blunt. . . . She wields language expertly, even beautifully.The New York Times What if the cinema of the present were a Mbius strip of language, a montage of statements and questions sutured together and gradually accumulating color? Would the seams aord a new sensibility around the pronoun you? Would the precise words of philosophy, fashion, books, architecture, and history animate a new vision, gestural and oblique? Is the kinetic pronoun cinema? These and other questions are answered in the new collection from acclaimed poet and essayist Lisa Robertson. The dazzling new collection will feature three dierent back covers (designed by artists Hadley + Maxwell). A quorum of crows will be your witness. And if you discover you were bought? You note the smell of rain, bread, and exhaust mixed with tiredness. And if you yourself are incompatible with your view of the world? And what is the subject but a stitching? Once again you are the one who promotes artice. At 2 am on Friday, you burn with a maudlin premonition. And rankings and rankings and badges and repetitions. Lisa Robertsons book Lisa Robertsons Magenta Soul Whip was named one of the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2010 and was longlisted for the 2011 Warwick Prize. Her other books include Debbie: An Epic, The Men, The Weather, and Occasional Work and Seven Walks from the Oce for Soft Architecture. She is the 2014 Bain Swiggett Professor at Princeton University.

Coach House Books On Malice

Ken Babstock
Ken Babstock is a wonderful and spirited poet, his work is full of musicality, syncopation, wit, and formal acuity, its all good.Peter Gizzi The avor of this poetry is complexit will have to be consumed in small amounts like a sipping tequila. It inebriates quickly. It imparts a convivial brilliance to life. And it is not without its sinister edge.Ange Mlinko With poems on perfect blue and a sonnet sequence situated on a derelict NSA surveillance station on a Berlin hill, On Malice assembles evacuated forms, polysemy, prayer, and perverse chatter into poems that enact our paranoia. Channeling Walter Benjamins son, William Hazlitt, John Donne, and Dick Cheney, they are lyric in their sonic and aective register but coldly methodological in their invented structures and illusions. You nish reading it. You cannot nish reading it. Ice caught in the can, later, the well. What shall I be worried about, the coward well and the ice does such a lot. They know nothing of cantilevered blown-out shells who feed their worry like veal barns. The domes aerial my lodestar and icon, the squirrel at dusk in the post-informational gloaming can never not nish reading it as song Ken Babstock is the author of Methodist Hatchet, which won the Grin Poetry Prize. His previous titles, Mean, Days into Flatspin, and Airstream Land Yacht, hold nominations for the Governor Generals Award and the Winterset Prize. Poems from this book have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

Eimear McBride
Winner of the 2013 Goldsmith Prize. Eimear McBride is a writer of remarkable power and originality. The Times Literary Supplement An instant classic.The Guardian Its hard to imagine another narrative that would justify this way of telling, but perhaps McBride can build another style from scratch for another style of story. Thats a project for another day, when this little book is famous. London Review of Books A Girl is a Half-formed Thing is simply a brilliant bookentirely emotionally raw and at the same time technically astounding. Her prose is as haunting and moving as music, and the love story at the heart of the novelbetween a sister and brotheras true and wrenching as any in literature. This is a book about everything: family, faith, sex, home, transcendence, violence, and love. I cant recommend it highly enough.Elizabeth McCracken My discovery of the year was Eimear McBrides debut novel A Girl Is a Halfformed Thing.Eleanor Catton Eimear McBrides acclaimed debut tells the story of a young womans relationship with her brother, and the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumor, touching on everything from family violence to sexuality and the personal struggle to remain intact in times of intense trauma. Eimear McBride was born in 1976 and grew up in Ireland. At twenty-seven she wrote A Girl is a Half-formed Thing and spent the next nine years trying to have it published.
Driven to despair by the intimate traumas of family, a nameless woman uses her sexuality as a weapon and shield.

Coffee House Press House of Coates

Brad Zellar
Photographs by Alec Soth
An exquisitely haunting, melancholic treasure of a book about people who drop out and populate tiny towns and rural communities, and the longing and loneliness of the human condition.Judy Natal, Photo-Eye As Brad Zellar so vividly illustrates in his new limited-edition collaboration with photographer Alec Soth, House Of Coates, broken men have always been with us, haunting us, providing a mirror. Society may label them bums, homeless, or pariahs, but Zellars empathetic writing allows the reader to get inside one broken man, and therefore all.Jim Walsh, MinnPost Washed up in the shadow of a renery, Lester B. Morrison, legendary recluse, documents his life in a series of photographs taken with a disposable camera. In a landscape of o ramps, warehouses, and SRO hotels occupied by terminally lonely men, love and faith break in, quietly oering human connection and the possibility of redemption. Brad Zellar has worked as a writer and editor for daily and weekly newspapers, as well as for both regional and national magazines. He is the author of Suburban World: The Norling Photos, The 1968 Project, Conductors of the Moving World, and House of Coates. Alec Soth is a photographer whose rst monograph, Sleeping by the Mississippi, was published by Steidl in 2004.

Contrasto Portrait of the Writers

Literary Lives in Focus
Curated by Goffredo Fo
Auden by Avedon, de Beauvoir by Cartier-Bresson, Duras by Doisneau, Proust by Man Ray, Huxley by Halsman, Apollinaire by Picasso, Arundhati Roy by Raghu Rai, Raymond Carver by Bob Adelman, Zadie Smith by Eamonn McCabe . . . Portrait of the Writers is a selection of 250 portraits of writers carried out by great photographers from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day, chosen by Goredo Fo. For each intense and penetrating image, the text explains the reason for the choice, recalls the masterpieces of the author, and narrates the story of the image: of the unique moment of the portrait. What is clear from this extensive, wide-ranging selection is the immense skill of the photographers who have observed writers, captured them, and presented them to history. Curiosity and memories are stimulated as much by the artists behind the lens as by their distinguished subjects. Goredo Fo, an essayist and a literature, drama, and lm critic, is a preeminent gure in the Italian cultural environment. His engagement focuses on the relationship between social reality and its artistic representation. He has contributed to the birth of landmark journals such as Quaderni Piacentini, La Terra vista dalla Luna, Ombre rosse, and Linea dombra. He is editor of Lo Straniero, which he founded in 1997, and creator of Lo Straniero Award. Moreover, Fo is an editorial advisor and collaborates with Panorama, Internazionale, and Film TV magazines.
Writers and photographers: unique and unrepeatable encounters. Including 250 photographs and essays, it is a photographic anthology of twentieth-century literature.

The Washington Post Koosers ability to discover the smallest detail and render it remarkable is a rare gift.Bloomsbury Review Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling poet Ted Kooser calls attention to the intimacies of life through commonplace objects and occurrences: an elderly couple sharing a sandwich is a study in transcendent love, while a tattered packet of spinach seeds calls forth innate human potential. This long-awaited collection from the former US Poet Laureateten years in the makingis rich with quiet and profound magnicence. From Splitting an Order: I like to watch an old man cutting a sandwich in half . . . and then to see him lift half onto the extra plate that he asked the server to bring, and then to wait, oering the plate to his wife while she slowly unrolls her napkin and places her spoon, her knife and her fork in their proper places, then smoothes the starched white napkin over her knees and meets his eyes and holds out both old hands to him. Ted Kooser is the author of numerous books of poetry and prose, including Delights and Shadows (Copper Canyon Press), which won the Pulitzer Prize. A former US Poet Laureate, Kooser serves as editor for American Life in Poetry, a nationally syndicated weekly newspaper column.

There is an eerie precision to her worklike the delicate discernment of a brain surgeons scalpelthat renders each moment in both its absolute clarity and ultimate transitory fragility.Rita Dove Olena Kalytiak Daviss poems nd evidence of the spirit everywhere, in laundromats, in parking lots and frozen landscapes, in the panic of birds. Dean Young In her rst full collection in a decade, Olena Kalytiak Davis revivies language and makes love oerings to her beloved reader. With a heightened post-confessional directness, she addresses lost love, sexual violence, and the confrontations of aging. In her characteristic syntactical play, sly slips of meaning, and all-out feminism, Davis hyperconsciously erases the rulebook in this memorable collection. From The Poem She Didnt Write: began when she stopped began in winter and, like everything else, at rst, just waited for spring in spring noticed there were lilac branches, but no desire, no need to talk to any angel, to say: sky, dooryard, _______, when summer arrived there was more, but not much nothing really worth noting and then it was winter againnothing had changed: sky, dooryard, ________, white, frozen was the lake and the lagoon, some froze the ocean (now you erase that) (you cross that out) and so on and so forth . . . Olena Kalyiak Davis is a rst-generation Ukrainian American who was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Educated at Wayne State University, the University of Michigan Law School, and Vermont College, she is the author of three books of poetry. She currently works as a lawyer in Anchorage, Alaska.

Almost eerily quiet in even the bluntest of poems, Brown gives us the ache of a throat that has yet to say the hardest thingand the truth is coming on fast. Big, Fine Long ago, we used two words for what we thought Valuable: big and ne for a house, a car, a woman, All three the same to men who claimed them: Each to be entered, each to experience wear and tear With time. But more than the love for big, ne Possessions was love for the face one man oered Another saying, You lucky. You got you a big, ne ______. Men had that problem. We waited on other men To tell us we exist and granted existence to those Who said mine and meant it as infants do, grabbing For what must be beautiful since someone else saw it.

Copper Canyon Press The Heights of Macchu Picchu

Pablo Neruda
Translated with an introduction by Toms Q. Morn
The most important poet of the twentieth centuryin any language. Gabriel Garca Mrquez The Heights of Macchu Picchu is a poem of ascension. . . . In its nal passages, Nerudas poetry jumps from a personal hope to a global one; from a poetry dealing with the poets heart to a poetry centered on humanitys struggles.BBC The Heights of Machu Picchu has been called Pablo Nerudas greatest contribution to poetrya search for the indestructible, imperishable life in all things. Inspired by his journey to the ancient ruins, Neruda calls the lost Incan civilization to rise up and be born, and also empowers the people of his time. This new translation by poet Toms Q. Morn includes an introduction by Morn and Nerudas Spanish original. I stare at the clothes and hands, the carvings of water in a sonorous hollow, the wall rubbed smooth by the touch of a face that with my eyes gazed at the earthly lights, that with my hands oiled the vanished planks: because everything, clothes, skin, dishes, words, wine, breads, went away, fell to the earth. Pablo Neruda (190473), one of the worlds most beloved poets, was also a diplomat and member of the Chilean Senate. In 1970 he was appointed as Chiles ambassador to France; in 1971 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Toms Q. Morn is a poet and translator and teaches at Texas State University.
Pablo Neruda is the worlds most beloved poet, and Alturas de Macchu Picchu one of his greatest poetic achievements.

Copper Canyon Press Storm toward Morning

Malachi Black
To be both visionary and accurate, true to physics and metaphysics at the same time, is rare and puts the poet in some rareed company. Black, like a few other younger poets, is willing to include all the traditional eects of the lyric poem in his work, but he has set them going in new and lively ways, with condence and virtuosity and a belief in the ancient pleasures of pattern and repetition.Mark Jarman, American Poet Lush and daring, Malachi Blacks poems in Storm toward Morning press all points along the spectrum of human positions, from sickness, isolation, and insomniac disarray to serenity, wonder, and spiritual yearning. Pulsing at the intersections of eye and I, body and mind, physical and metaphysical, Black brings distinctive voice, vision, and music to matters of universal mortal concern. Query on Typography What is the light inside the opening of every letter: white behind the angles is a language bright because a curvature of space inside a line is visible is script a sign of what it does or does not occupy scripture the covenant of eye and I with word or what the word denes which is source and which is shrine the light of body or the light behind? Malachi Black holds a BA in literature from New York University and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Texas at Austins Michener Center for Writers. He currently teaches creative writing at Emory University and lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
Formally exacting and creatively expansive, Malachi Black is an intensely inquisitive John Donne for the Millennial generation.

Katherine Bode-Langs work is not a trickher lowered voice kept attracting me. Mending I spent that summer tucked behind the librarys stacks with broken books, repairing bends and tatters, erasing pencil marks, tipping in the missing pages. Old books, weak and torn books, all came to my table covers like rags. I undressed them further: removed battered cloth with cuts through the spine and name, down inside joints still holding apping limbs to well-stitched pages. Once undone, I would fashion a castred, green, black, or blue

cut cloth and bristol board, build a new spine, fasten on the covers with a batch of glue I made that week. The dressing so tted, I would paint pages back together, layer tissue over tears, splint the bent corners, slip waxed paper under the eyelids of the book. In my windowless room, a ward of old books lay quiet, pinned and drying between bricks and boards. My handwriting later named them, numbered and tagged them, sent them back to metal shelves. Katherine Bode-Lang earned her MFA at Penn State, where she is the assistant director of The Methodology Center. She lives in central Pennsylvania.

Bob Hicok
National Book Critics Circle Award nalist. What Hicoks getting at [in Elegy Owed] is both the necessity and the inadequacy of language, the very bluntness of which (talk about a paradox) makes it all the more essential that we engage with it as a precision instrument, a force of clarity, of (at times) awful grace.Los Angeles Times [A] uid, absorbing new collection. . . . Highly recommended. Library Journal, starred review When asked in an interview What would Bob Hicok launch from a giant sling shot? he answered Bob Hicok. Elegy OwedHicoks eighth bookis an existential game of Twister in which the rules of mourning are broken and salvaged, and you can never step into the same not going home again twice. From Notes for a time capsule: The twig in. Ill put the twig in I carry in my pocket and my pocket and my eye, my left eye. A cup of the Ganges and the bacteria from shit in the Ganges and the anyway ablutions of rainbowrobed Hindus in the Ganges. The dawnline of the mountain with contrail above like an accent in a language too large for my mouth. A mirror so whoever opens the past will see themselves in the past and fall back from their face speaking to them across centuries or hours or the nearnevers . . . Bob Hicoks worked as an automotive die designer and a computer system administrator before becoming an associate professor of English at Virginia Tech. He lives in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Curbside Splendor Publishing Losing in Gainesville

Brian Costello
Costello describes suburban absurdities in teeming detail, approaching the self-aware gross-out humor of Tromaville: tumbling forward with the rushing momentum of Kerouacs prose. Nineties countercultureemo bands, riot grrls, shit jobs, sleeping on oors, warm beer and cold pizzaoften provides the punch line. Though funny and poking fun, Costello remains sympathetic to the awkwardness and ambivalence that drives young people, feeling trapped, to struggle to express themselves: that beautiful, life-arming cycle of broke kids starting bands.Tim Kinsella, Joan of Arc front man, author of The Karaoke Singers Guide to Self Defense A charged satire . . . of the punk scene, and the culturally bereft exurbs. Chicago Reader, on The Enchanters Vs. Sprawlburg Springs Set in mid-1990s Florida, Losing in Gainesville hilariously explores what failure means in a culture where everyone is supposed to win. Razorcake praised Brian Costellos rst novel for its language and attention to detail and Bookslut lauded its dialogue and conversational narrator. These strengths are once again on display in Losing in Gainesville. With an ensemble cast of slackers, burn-outs, musicians, and dreamers, who are all losing somethingtheir youth, their ambitions, their careers, their children, their former identitiesCostello builds a sun-bleached world of people struggling to understand what it means to succeed on their terms. Brian Costello is a writer, musician, and comedic performer living in Chicago, Illinois. He plays drums in the band Outer Minds and co-hosts Shame That Tune, a monthly live game show. Losing in Gainesville is his second novel.
This comedic slacker novel tracks a community of stoners, musicians, and regular dudes losing in every sense of the word.

Enchanted Lion Books Macanudo #2

Liniers
Translated by Mara Faye Lethem
Macanudo #2 collects more of Linierss great daily strip (the rst selection of which appeared in volume #1). And like the rst volume, this new collection is marked by subtle charm, existential wit, a playful sensibility, and a probing mind. Dive in for more Henrietta and her cat, Fellini; more Mandlebaum, the teddy bear; more sensitive robot, and much else besides! Liniers (Ricardo Siri) is an acclaimed and well-beloved Argentine cartoonist whose wildly popular daily strip Macanudo (cool) has been published in the Argentine newspaper La Nacin for the past ten years. This strip has won him fans throughout the world and comparisons to the cartoonist heavyweights Charles Schultz and Bill Watterson. Liniers also travels around the world with musician Kevin Johansen, painting on big canvases on stage while Johansen makes music. Sometimes, they switch places. Liniers has over 3,600 published comic strips and has published over twenty-ve books in Spanish, and more than ten books in nine countries from Brazil to the Czech Republic. His rst book to be published in English, The Big Wet Balloon, has been both a critical and popular success and was selected as a best book of 2013 by Parents Magazine. And the fourth volume of his Macanudo to appear in French was recently selected for the 2014 Angoulme Festival. Together with his wife Angie, Liniers also founded the comics publisher La Editorial Comn. Liniers lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with his wife and three daughters Matilda, Clementina, and Emma. No penguins though . . . yet.
All of life can be found in Macanudo, except for the really awful stuff thats left to the daily news!

Engine Books Miracle Girls

MB Caschetta
When Cee-Cee closes her eyes, she can suddenly see all the missing girls in the Mohawk Valley. Its part of the message: they are buried in wheat elds and stashed behind train tracks, or sprawled at the bottom of the canal. Could have been you, one dead girl says, smart-mouthed. But instead it was me! A live one tied up somewhere in a basement cocks her head: But, guess what youre next! Cee-Cee tries to focus, but a terrible headache rises from the back of her neck, as if someone has struck her there. She should take her medicine, but Mrs. Patrick took away the pink bottles. In the thicket overhead, the branches are picked clean as bones, no longer swaying. Now she steps back until her heels butt up against the fat oak tree. In the woods, everything is silent. Even the trees stand still. Its 1973 in the Mohawk Valley, and children are disappearing. Cee-Cee Bianco is visited by the Virgin Mary, but her brothers see a much darker vision. When the youngest Bianco falls into a coma after witnessing a brutal crime in the woods and Cee-Cee performs a miracle, she is guarded by warprotesting Sisters whose order is not the benign sanctuary it seems. MB Caschetta is the author of Lucy on the West Coast (Alyson), which Ms. Magazine called a spectacular collection. Her essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and Body & Soul. She lives in Massachusetts.

Enigma Books Shadows Over the White House

The Maa and the President
Thomas A. Reppetto
How did the American Maa and corrupt politicians assert so much power over the nations aairs that the Mobs inuence actually reached into the White House? Harry Truman had been one of three key lieutenants of Kansas City boss Tom Pendergast. Truman controlled the county government, while another lieutenant, Maa Boss Johnny Lazia, carried out murders and other crimes as required to keep the machine in power. Truman himself was never accused of corruption. Once elected to the Senate in 1934, he became known in Washington as Pendergasts errand boy. When Pendergast himself eventually ended up in federal prison for evading taxes on bribe money, Truman remained loyal to him. With the fall of Pendergast, Truman appeared likely to be defeated for reelection to the Senate in 1940. However, Bob Hannegan, who ran St. Louis in conjunction with Mayor Bernie Dykman, came to Trumans aid and provided the senators margin of victory. Harry Truman eventually became president upon FDRs death, opening a period of tolerance for the Mob throughout the country. The need for margins in tight elections in certain key moments, such as John F. Kennedys in 1960, increased Maa inuence. More connections are clearly documented during the Nixon and Reagan presidencies, when the Mob played a role in securing key voting blocs. Thomas A. Reppetto was commander of detectives in Chicago and dean of John Jay College CUNY. He is the author of American Police, American Maa, and countless op-ed pieces in major daily newspapers.
The shocking story of the Mobs inuence in American politics since the 1944 presidential election that endures to this day.

The President of Rwanda Speaks
Franois Soudan
Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Ben Aeck, Natalie Portman, the CEOs of Starbucks and Visa, Howard G. Buett, Robert de Niro, Susan Rice, Don Cheadle, and many other celebrities are amongst his most fervent admirers. For them, Paul Kagame is the man who produced the Rwandan Miracle. The one who was able to make a people and a nation rise from the ashes of the last genocide of the twentieth century. But this former refugee, once a warlord by necessity, who then became the president of a country that he endeavors to lead down the path of economic emergence with an iron hand, also has erce enemies who consider him to be a sort of African Machiavelli. His opponents, human rights organizations in particular, criticize him for favoring development over democracy. Saint or demon, virtuous liberator or dictator: rarely has a head of state been as controversial as he. Twenty years after the genocide of the Tutsis from Rwanda, causing one million deaths in one hundred days in the Land of a Thousand Hills, Paul Kagame candidly reveals himself for the very rst time. Franois Soudan is the managing editor of Jeune Afrique, a leading news weekly based in Paris, and has authored biographies of Nelson Mandela and Muammar el-Qadda. Soudan has traveled to Rwanda on numerous occasions over the past twenty years. His interviews with Paul Kagame took place in Kigali between December 2013 and March 2014.

Etruscan Press Quick Kills

Lynn Lurie
Our rst excursion was to the Bronx Zoo. The Photographer wanted to shoot me holding a python. The snakemaster wrapped the thickest, blackest one around my shoulders. An employee of the zoo oered to take a picture of the python and me with the Photographer, referring to me as the Photographers daughter. At that moment the snake picked up its head and began to slither towards my face. I did not scream. I pleaded with the snakemaster to take the python o me. After the snake was in its tank, I washed my hands with a special soap. One wash was not enough. He let me wash as many times as I wanted. . . . There is fear in my eyes. I see the fear clearly even in the blurred snapshot. The adults waiting in line with their children must have seen it too. Fear like I have seen in my sisters eyes. Quick Kills chronicles the desperate longing to belong as well as the eect of neglect, familial absence, and the nature of secrets. The young female narrator is seduced by an older man who convinces her that she is the perfect subject for his photographs. Meanwhile, the narrators sister embarks on an equally precarious journey. Never clearly delineating the border between art and pornography, the narrators escalating disquiet is evidence that lines have been crossed. Lynn Lurie is an attorney with an MA in international aairs and an MFA in writing. Quick Kills is her second novel.
Quick Kills chronicles the desperate longing of a young girl to belong and the crossing of sexual boundaries.

George Sand (180476) is considered the rst professional woman writer of ction. She wrote many novels, including Indiana and Lila, plays, newspaper articles, and a memoir, Story of My Life. The movie Impromptu is based on her life. Molly Crabapple is a painter, illustrator, and writer based in New York. She has written many books, including Discordia and Week in Hell, and produced work on subjects including the Spanish general strike, her former career as a pinup model, her arrest during Occupy Wall Street, and her visit to Guantanamo Bay.

Fence Books The Racial Imaginary

Writers on Race in the Life of the Mind
Edited by Claudia Rankine, Beth Loffreda, and Max King Cap

To think of creativity in terms of transcendence is itself specic and partial a lovely dream perhaps, but an inhuman one. It is not only white writers who make a prize of transcendence, of course. Many writers of all backgrounds see the imagination as ahistorical, as a generative place where race doesnt and shouldnt enter, a place of bodies that transcend the legislative, the economicin other words, transcend the stu that doesnt lend itself much poetry. In this view the imagination is postracial, a posthistorical and postpolitical utopia. . . . To bring up race for these writers is to inch close to the anxious space of armative action, the scarring qualieds. So everyone is here.Claudia Rankine and Beth Loreda, from the introduction In 2011, a poem published in a national magazine by a popular white male poet made use of a black female body. A conversation ensued, and ended. Claudia Rankine subsequently created Open Letter, a web forum for writers to relate the eects and aects of racial dierence and to explore arts failure, thus far, to adequately imagine. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Claudia Rankine is author and editor of more than six collections of poetry and poetics. She is a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and a professor of English at Pomona College. Beth Loreda is author of Losing Matt Shepard: Life and Politics in the Aftermath of Anti-gay Murder. She directs the MFA program in creative writing at the University of Wyoming.

Fence Books McGlue

Ottessa Moshfegh
Selected for the inaugural Fence Modern Prize in Prose by Rivka Galchen. Short-ction genius Ottessa Moshfeghs rst novel is a gorgeously sordid story of love and murder on the high seas and in reeky corners of midnineteenth-century New York and points North. McGlue is a wonderwork of virtuoso prose and truths that will make you squirm and concur.Gary Lutz Salem, Massachusetts, 1851: McGlue is in the hold, still too drunk to be sure of name or situation or orientationhe may have killed a man. That man may have been his best friend. Intolerable memory accompanies sobriety. A-sail on the high seas of literary tradition, Ottessa Moshfegh gives us a nasty heartless blackguard on a knife-sharp voyage through the fogs of recollection. They said Ive done something wrong? . . . And theyve just left me down here to starve. Theyll see this inanition and be so damned theyll fall to my feet and pass up hot cross buns slathered in fresh butter and beg I forgive them. All of them . . . : the entire world one by one. Like a good priest Ill pat their heads and nod. Ill dunk my skull into a barrel of gin.

Fence Books Cold Genius

Aaron Kunin
The United Fruit Company during the Cold War; two myths about the discovery of laughter. Tender love lyrics in a domestic setting; vows of love are exchanged. An extended verse essay on tickling. Like Antonin Scalia, this book believes in the devil. The human soul gures. History is the soft medium into which you cut; love is the instrument that cuts. Love is the drill. Love cuts to the depth of the jokes, which ow out. Puns ow out gaily from the wound made by love. Aaron Kunin is author of two previous collections and a professor at Pomona College.
The gure of emotional temperature predominates. The formula: hot content, cold treatment. Three of these are spoken by Miss Chiquita.

Edited by Mike Hunchback and Caleb Braaten
There was never an artist who came close to capturing horror and dread like Lee Brown Coye. He was master of the weird and grotesque illustration. Coyes sketches had the shape of nightmares.Robert Weinberg, The Weird Tales Story It was always my belief that a good drawing was a good drawing, whether it was in the archives of the Metropolitain Museum or in a pulp magazine. Lee Brown Coye No other artist working in mid-century pulp ction created work as twisted as Lee Brown Coye. By the 1970s, after surviving a life-threatening illness, Coye would outdo himself, creating lurid illustrations exclusive to rare privately published books and fanzines. With nearly one hundred gloriously rendered Coye-penned images, Pulp Macabre showcases Coyes nal and darkest era, containing some of the most passionately ghoulish artwork ever made.

Kerry Thornley, Oswald and Garrisons JFK Investigation
Adam Gorightly
Adam Gorightly oers a unique take on virtually every conspiracy of our time.Erskine Payton, Erskine Overnight Kerry Thornley never imagined that after starting a spoof religion in the 1950s that worshipped Eristhe Greek goddess of chaos and discordthat this seeming joke would unleash a torrent of actual chaos into his life in the years to follow. During the late 1950s, Thornley became friends with Lee Harvey Oswald when the two served together in the Marines, and was actually writing a novel based on Oswald three years before John F. Kennedys assassination. These connections would later cause New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison to suspect that Thornley was one of the notorious Oswald doubles and a part of a JFK assassination plot. Initially, Thornley denied these allegations, but later came to believe that hed been used as an unwitting pawn in the conspiracy. Adam Gorightly is best known for his book on the Manson Family, The Shadow Over Santa Susana: Black Magic, Mind Control and the Manson Family Mythos. Adam has appeared as a guest on numerous radio shows such as Coast To Coast AM with Ian Punnett and Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis. Television appearances include the History Channels documentary The Manson Murders.

Feral House The Essential Mae Brussell

Investigations of Fascism in America
Mae Brussell
Edited by Alex Constantine Introduction by Paul Krassner
Maes work may be more relevant now than in her heyday. Like those of many other freedom ghters throughout history, the ghost of Mae Brussell will never rest till justice is served.Tim Cahill The main Brussell thesis, if I dare risk commit the sin of summary on her complex work, was that an ex-Nazi scientist-Old Boy OSS clique in the CIA using Maa hit men changed the course of American history by bumping o one and all, high and low, who became an irritant to them.Warren Hinkle, San Francisco Examiner columnist The Essential Mae Brussell is a compilation of chilling essays and radio transcripts by the seminal American anti-fascist researcher, famously supported by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Mae Brussell was a married housewife with ve children living in southern California before she took up the study of fascism in America. After the Kennedy assassination, she purchased the twenty-six-volume Warren Commission Report, and compiled, for herself, evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was, as he maintained after his arrest, a patsy. She had a regular radio broadcast on KLRB, an independent FM radio station in Carmel, California. She also published articles in Paul Krassners the Realist, Hustler, Peoples Almanac, and the Berkeley Barb. In 1983, Maes hour-long program shifted to KAZU-FM in Pacic Grove, California, and she remained on the air weekly until her nal broadcast in June 1988. On October 3, 1988, at sixty-six, Brussell died of cancer.
Fascinating research from the woman who inspired an entire generation of anti-Fascist conspiratorial investigations.

Feral House The Secret Life of a Satanist

The Authorized Biography of Anton Szandor LaVey Revised Edition
Blanche Barton
The Secret Life of a Satanist steps behind the curtain with the founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan. What is contemporary Satanism, and why would one start a church dedicated to the Dark One? It wasnt a rebellion against an oppressive religious upbringing; it was Anton Szandor LaVeys disgust with most of humanity. Drawing from Jack London, H.L. Mencken, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marquis de Sade, George Bernard Shaw, John Milton, Benjamin Franklin, and a host of reprobates, with a large dose of alchemy and black magic, LaVey formulated a philosophy that deeply resonated with him. LaVey did not worship Satan; he paid homage to the rebellious spirit of innovation, deance, and self-reliance that the archetype embodied. His background as a musician, circus lion trainer, hypnotist, and police photographer is covered here. The author, who later became his paramour and mother to his only son, was allowed extraordinary access to documents concerning his life, testimonies from people who had known him for years, and, most importantly, anecdotes and fond memories from a man living out of his time. After the original publication of this biography in 1990, LaVey and Blanche Barton fought through the Satanic Panic together, and guided the Church for another seven years. This revised edition adds a dozen new and never-before-seen images.
An inside view of the provocative man who created the Church of Satan and wrote The Satanic Bible.

Architectural Illumination and Light Installations
Carmel McNamara
The use of light and illumination in architecture and design is currently evolving and making an increasingly signicant impact in various creative disciplines. Today, architects use light installations to create a dierent nighttime identity for buildings that allow for additional functions and presentations. Light is also important for interior designers, who use it to give the impression of a room where there isnt one or make a space seem bigger or smaller. Others use light to conjure works of art, forms, and images out of nothing or to give entire city centers a whole new look. In short: light is a magical medium for creative experimentation that todays designers are using to produce a broad spectrum of exciting work. Bright 2 presents a rich selection of these innovative projects that are setting trends in the creative use of light. The included work has been implemented in both a commercial and cultural context around the world. Each designer or design company is featured in an eight-page spread that includes both stunning photography and detailed technical information. This inspiring volume is an up-to-date reference tool for professionals working in the elds of light design, architecture, and art.

Frame Publishers New Tribal Labyrinth

Atelier Van Lieshout
Dominic van den Boogerd, Tom Morton, and Joep van Lieshout
New Tribal Labyrinth oers a survey of works from the eponymous ongoing project by Atelier Van Lieshout, the internationally recognized studio of Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout. This publication reects on our extremely advanced and complex society, in which over-consumption and limited raw materials play a crucial role. In Atelier Van Lieshouts vision, this will lead to conict and the subsequent emergence of a new world order, with groups of people organizing themselves in tribes instead of nation-states. This new tribal world will see a return to farming and industrywhich currently both have been banished from our societyand a re-establishment of our relationship with materials which now has been lost. The bookpublished in collaboration with GRIMM galleryis richly illustrated, showcasing not only the nished works of the artist but also how some of the pieces were made by van Lieshout and his team in their Rotterdam studio. Joep van Lieshout lives and works in Rotterdam. Since the early 1980s, he has produced objects primarily in brightly colored polyester, the material that would become his trademark in subsequent years. Over the years he has gained international recognition for objects that balance on the boundary between art, architecture, and design. These works of art are practical, uncomplicated, and substantial. Recurring themes in the work of van Lieshout are autarky, power, politics, and the more classical themes of life and death.
New Tribal Labyrinth offers a survey of works from the eponymous ongoing project by Atelier Van Lieshout.

Frame Publishers Marjolijn Mandersloot

Whodunit
Annabelle Birnie and Edwin van Onna
With the sculptures of Dutch artist Marjolijn Mandersloot, we nd ourselves in pleasant company. Recognizable human and animal shapes are an important source of inspiration in Mandersloots work, mainly serving as a metaphor. Rabbits, donkeys, dogs, and bears are formed in a humorous response to the malleable world of this moment. Every sculpture seems to possess a fabulous acting talentbody poses and material expression are used to create unique characters which often elicit poignant emotions in onlookers. The omission of detail, expanding proportions, or the focus on specic parts of the sculpture leads to a pleasant confusion and often even a smile. Ambiguity suppresses narrative recognition and invites a new interpretation, with the sculptures surprising tactility inviting viewers to explore the borders between imagination and reality. This new book of Mandersloots work presents her latest projects, including her recent collaborations with the luxury fashion house Herms of Paris. In the artistic imagination of Marjolijn Mandersloot, perfection does not seem to be a high priority. Her animal and human gures are an example of imperfection. The prevailing ideal of physical beauty inspires her to constantly examine this world of cute creatures. By means of ambiguous material choicesplastic, leather, rubber, textile or foam insulationshe encourages us to think about our own identity through installations that have soft touches mingled with robust bronze or polished aluminium.
This book presents the latest projects of Dutch artist Marjolijn Mandersloot, who uses recognizable animal shapes as her source of inspiration.

Frame Publishers Model Making

Conceive, Create and Convince
Bernard Otte and Arjan Karssen

This book is a step-by-step guide about how to create convincing architectural models. Borne out of the authors experience and enjoyment in the use of models in education and in professional practice, it is an essential manual for students of spatial disciplines, such as urban planning, garden and landscape architecture, public space or interior design, and anyone with an interest in model making.

Models can be used in the study and research phases of a project and are essential as design and communication tools until the nal presentation model is ready to be nalized. In this manual, each of these applications is explained in detail. Readers discover the most appropriate type of model to match the look and mode of work. Furthermore, the practical side of model construction is explained and illustrated. The three types of models that run parallel to each other include the research, communication, and presentation models, and these are illustrated with real-life scenarios from architecture and design oces around the world, which is a unique and vital aspect to this book. The manual can be seen as a roadmap for the manufacture of models and a detailed reference book for outlining the latest materials and techniques.

Double Exposure
Introduction by Rhea Combs

Essay by Deborah Willis Foreword by Lonnie Bunch
Double Exposure is a major new series based on the remarkable photography collection held by the Center for African American Media Arts (CAAMA) at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). From daguerreotype portraits taken before the Civil War to twenty-rst century digital prints, this series is a striking visual record of key historical events, cultural touchstones, and private and communal moments that helps to illuminate African American life. In addition to featuring fty photographs from a broad range of African American experiences, each thematic volume includes introductions by some of the leading historians, activists, photographers, and writers of our times. Many of the images in the series are by famous photographers such as Spider Martin, Gordon Parks, Ernest C. Withers, Wayne F. Miller, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. There are also iconic images, such as McPherson and Olivers Gordon under Medical Inspection (circa 1867), and Charles Moores photographs of the 1963 Birmingham Childrens Crusade. These take their place next to unfamiliar or recently discovered images, including work by Henry Clay Anderson of everyday life in the black community in Greenville (MS), during the height of the Jim Crow segregation laws. Volume 1: Through the African American Lens is an introduction to the CAAMA photography collection, revealing the ways in which African Americans have used activism, community, and culture to ght for social justice and create a better life. Deborah Willis is an art photographer and university professor and chair at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.

ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES / HISTORY October 9 x 11 | 284 pp 165 color illustrations Trade Cloth US $70.00 | CAN $76.99 978-1-907804-33-5 USC
Once an obscure gure in American furniture history, Nathaniel Gould (173481) is now recognized as colonial Americas premier eighteenthcentury cabinetmaker. This volume presents new scholarship and archival materials based on the recent, chance discovery of Goulds detailed ledgers by local historians Kemble Widmer and Joyce King. It also includes twenty distinguished examples of furniture, either newly attributed to Gould or linked to his workshop. Not only do the Gould ledgers bring to light his career, but they also give a remarkable insight into the makers and consumers of eighteenth-century American design. Detailed appendices, transcribed directly from the ledgers, outline Goulds client list, his output and his employees, his involvement in export trade with orders for specic voyages, and commissions for special events such as weddings and births. This has helped to link specic objects with both maker and original purchaser, including pieces already in museums and private ownership but not previously attributed. There has been a steady increase in interest in high-quality pieces of American colonial period furniture at auction in recent years. For example, a Chippendale gured mahogany bomb slant front desk, attributed to Francis Cook of Marblehead, fetched US $700,000 at an important Americana sale at Sothebys, New York, in January 2010. In Plain Sight is a major addition to the literature and scholarship on American colonial and post-colonial furniture and a necessary reference book for collectors, museums, appraisers, auctioneers, and all those interested in American social history of the second half of the 1700s.
A major addition to the study of American colonial and post-colonial furniture, and to the scholarship on Nathaniel Gould.

Gilgamesh Publishing EgyptThe Elusive Arab Spring

Wak Moustafa, MD
Foreword by Michael Binyon
This hugely authoritative commentary on Egyptian aairs is a must have for anyone who wants to get the real picture. EgyptThe Elusive Arab Spring casts a condent eye back over a span of some two hundred years of modern Egypts history and brings the reader right up to the essential issues underpinning what is happening in Egypt today. As an Egyptian national, Dr. Wak Moustafas account oers us far more than the standard fare of the international commentariat. Here you have a genuine front row seat on the famous Arab Street, with surprising insights into the idiosyncratic world presented by Egypts press and social media. Directly, with the candor of a well-informed old friend, Dr. Moustafa shares powerful insights into how this lynchpin of the Arab world reached the crossroads it nds itself at today. It is a balanced and generally impartial account. To quote Michael Binyon, the distinguished Times columnist who introduces this book: His account is bracing, sharp and, to many, controversial. He says things that many Arab politicians and opinion-makers would rather not hear said. Dr. Moustafa tells us a lot about the forces that have shaped Egypt today. And his widespread contacts with the leading gures in the countrys social, intellectual, and political life give him a clear-sighted vantage point to warn his countrymen . . . that, unless they are very careful and learn the lessons of recent history, many of their hopes may turn out, yet again, to be disappointments. Wak Moustafa, MD, is an avid historian and lobbyist. He is chairman of the Conservative Arab Network in London, England, and regularly leads parliamentary delegations to his native Egypt. Michael Binyon, who introduces the book, is a journalist and a senior writer for the Times of London.
The big picture on Egypt today. A no-nonsense Egyptian perspective from the inside.

Gilgamesh Publishing The Strange Little City of Ancient Zion

The Archaeological Conundrum of Temple Mount
George Wesley Buchanan

Foreword by William Telford, PhD
The Temple Mount has long been a ashpoint for religious tension, with both the Islamic and Judaeo-Christian traditions asserting a claim to a few square meters of land. In this carefully argued presentation professor George Wesley Buchanan demonstrates that the religious shrine of Jewish scripture was actually located more than half a mile away. Of the 3.5 million religious tourists visiting Jerusalem annually, few would think to look down into the valley for the Spring of Siloam that lies south of the famous rise where the Dome of the Rock now stands. A fundamental tenet of the argument is the point that the ancient Jewish priests would not have sacriced bulls on the arid peak of the hill. Such rituals demand large quantities of wateressential in washing away the large amounts of blood involvedand the logical site can only be a lower lying spot next to a river. This spellbinding account, convincingly argued and making good use of diagrams and illustrations, bases its logic on hard archaeological evidence supported by a close analysis of scripture.

Doing History from the Bottom Up

On E.P. Thompson, Howard Zinn, and Rebuilding the Labor Movement from Below
Staughton Lynd
In the 1960s historians on both sides of the Atlantic began to challenge the assumptions of their colleagues and push for an understanding of history from below. In this collection, Staughton Lynd, himself one of the pioneers of this approach, laments the passing of fellow luminaries David Montgomery, E.P. Thompson, Alfred Young, and Howard Zinn, and makes the case that contemporary academics and activists alike should take more seriously the stories and perspectives of Native Americans, slaves, rank-and-le workers, and other still-too-frequently marginalized voices.

High Conict Institute Press oers books for business, legal, mental health, human resource, and other professionals who deal with high-conict clients and need solutions to get them through dicult legal, workplace, and other battles. Our top-selling titles are written by a pioneer in the conict resolution eld and other authors who oer fresh and unique strategies that support professionals who work with dicult people. Our imprint, Unhooked Books, features titles that help anyone dealing with high-conict people, relationships, and personality disorders. Our vision is to educate and provide practical solutions for anyone dealing with dicult people and to improve the lives of people who suer with mental illnesspersonality disorders in particular by educating those around them. We got our start sort of by accident. After several years working at the Arizona Supreme Court and hearing the same complaint about high-conict (the most dicult dicult people and cases) from those involved in family law, our founder, Megan Hunter, discovered Bill Eddy, a lawyer and therapist who had uncovered the source of the high-conict problem. In Megans words, He was the rst and only to provide an explanation and solution for the problem. Bill had written a couple of books, so I brought him in to train family court judges, lawyers and psychologists. Of course, I provided each attendee with one of his books. The light bulb came on for nearly all of them and that was when I knew that everyone needed this information, so I quit my job and created High Conict Institute with Mr. Eddy in 2007. The train hasnt stopped since. Bill kept writing books but his original publisher decided to take a dierent business direction, so we purchased the rights and started our venture into publishing. Our titles contain content that sells itself because they are cutting edge and practical, which has led to an unexpected but welcome burst of growth. Expect only the best from our authors for years to come!

High Conict Institute Press Babas Daughter

Memoirs of a Persian-American Girl
Jessica Shahriari Nicely
An Iranian dad (baba) trying to adjust to life in the United States and make a living at Good Guys strip club in Washington, DC. An American mother called The Snake who stripped for a living at the same club and later abandoned her husband and young daughters to follow a famous Christmas crooner. The ingredients of a perfect and predictable storm for their daughters, who were simply trying to understand, survive, and exist in a confusing and chaotic 1970s world. Despite the expected and predictable outcome for many who grow up in chaotic, trauma-lled homes, author Jessica Shahriari Nicely deed the odds by graduating from university, representing Arizona in the Miss USA pageant, and helping hundreds of abused children through important volunteer work and her own nonprot organization, Winged Hope, to help abused and neglected kids. One word describes Jessica Nicelyresilience. Jessica doesnt take the much-repeated stance of blame and victimhood in her childhood story. She instead weaves the complicated existence of love from and for her father, who happens to be the cause of her trauma-lled childhood. Her story takes us through violent shootings, physical abuse, frequent visits from law enforcement, and a killer in the basement to teachers who understood but responded only minimally to her situation. We long to protect her and cheer as her grandmother cares for her and her friends families demonstrate what it means to be a normal family. Jessica Shahriari Nicely is married, has two children, two dogs, and advocates with passion and purpose for child abuse prevention.

High Conict Institute Press Bait & Switch

Saving Your Relationship After Incredible Romance Turns Into Exhausting Chaos
Megan Hunter, MBA

Some romantic relationships simply go sour. This book is not for them. Instead, it is for people stuck in high-conict relationships. This is the relationship with a tantalizing beginning complete with charm, fun, ease, sensuality, and sexiness that abruptly turns into one of confusion, dread, despair, and even violence. There is no good exit strategy or staying strategy. In sales terminology, this type of relationship would be considered bait and switch. People with high-conict personalities (HCPs) have a dierent operating system in romantic relationships. They unwittingly crave and work hard to be in one, but sabotage it. Some may have a form of Borderline Personality Disorder. The other partner enters into the relationship because it is the best, but eventually lands in lengthy and expensive battles over anything and everything. In this rst-of-its-kind book, Megan Hunter addresses the patterns and thoughts from both sides without placing blame or casting judgment. Based on hundreds of interviews with people in high-conict relationships, seeing the destruction of families in her policy work in family law and feedback from lawyers, psychologists, and mediators who work with these couples, it is an inside look at his thoughts and her thoughts, their unconscious interactions, and step-by-step staying or exiting strategies. Megan Hunter is a leading expert and speaker on high-conict personalities who trains legal and mental health professionals. After helping shape policies to improve family law through the Arizona Supreme Court, she co-founded the High Conict Institute with author Bill Eddy, who developed the highconict personality theory.
Help for people who dont know what to do when stuck in the nightmare of a high-conict relationship.

Holy Cow! Press Approaching the Gate

Poems
Lynette Reini-Grandell
Lynette Reini-Grandells long-anticipated debut collection of poetry quickens with forward movement, be it in a car that pushes towards the stars or with a horse that suddenly spooks, leaving the speaker knocked down, / breathless, / turning to the sight of a thousand-pound horse / rushing the gate / and leaping over my head. Several of the poems probe the experience of her grandparents who emigrated from Finland and settled on a farm in northern Minnesota in the early twentieth century. The urge to move forward is matched with a deep love and reverence for creatures living in their natural world, for the buzz of the city, for unmet ancestors and kindred spirits, and most especially for her transgender husband. Approaching the Gate Peel back the feathers, peel back the fur. The pale, protective skinpeel that away too. Pull apart anything that covers, scrape away whatever doesnt t. Let light stream in at the speed of blood, slice past cornea, sclera, iris, retina. Anything to fell the green-leaved past and pave a roadway, anything to get to the inside, anything to plow this ground under. Lynette Reini-Grandells poetry has received grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Finlandia Foundation. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and is part of an art installation in room 5D of the Carlton Arms Hotel in Manhattan. In Minneapolis, she reads regularly with the Bosso Poetry Company, a subsidiary of Bosso Enterprises, theoretically based in Big Lever, Wyoming.
A dynamic new voice, Lynette Reini-Grandells rst poetry collection cracks with energy and innovation while staying close to the personal and familiar. Marketing Plans

Icon Books The Quantum Age

How the Physics of the Very Small has Transformed Our Lives
Brian Clegg
Quantum theory may be bizarre and inexplicablebut its been shown to account for as much as 30 percent of American GDP, as this brilliant new book by science writer extraordinaire Brian Clegg reveals. The Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, and the birth of steam machinery and electricity, saw human life transformed by new materials and technology. Cleggwho studied physics at Cambridge University and specializes in making the strangest aspects of the universe accessible to the general reader explores the Quantum Age, the revolution led by our understanding of the very, very small. Atoms, electrons, and photons of light are all quantum particles, acting totally unlike the objects we experience. This weird quantum behavior lies at the heart of every electronic device and powers lasers in everything from DVDs to eye correction. It is also behind quantum biology, the astonishing new realization that biological functions, from our ability to see and photograph synthesis in plants to the amazing ability of birds to navigate, rely directly on quantum eects. Weve all heard about how odd quantum theory is. But in this book, for the rst time, Clegg reveals to a popular science audience precisely how useful it is. Incredible revelations along the way will thrill popular science fans and general readers alike. Brian Clegg is an acclaimed science writer published by Icon Books and St. Martins Press. His books include Inight Science, Dice World (forthcoming), The Universe Inside You, Gravity, and Extra-Sensory.

He was the most important scholar of privacy since Louis Brandeis. Jerey Rosen No work about privacy had done such a thorough job . . . in elucidating the meaning and importance of privacy.Daniel Solove In dening privacy as the claim of individuals, groups, or institutions to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent information about them is communicated, Privacy and Freedom (1967) laid the philosophical groundwork for current debates about technology and personal freedom, and is considered a foundational text in the eld of privacy law. Alan Westin (19292013) was a professor of public law and government at Columbia University for almost forty years. Through his worknotably his book Privacy and FreedomWestin is considered to have created, almost singlehandedly, the modern eld of privacy law.

Photographs and text by H. Lee
Text by Glenn OBrien and Emily Brady
The United States is seeing historic change regarding marijuana: a fundamental shift is in motion between those who seek to keep it illegal and the overwhelming populist appeal for legal reform. For decades, farmers in northern California have had to operate in secret, hiding their gardens from law enforcement. But as new legal markets have begun to emerge, marijuana agriculture is moving into plain view; the country, some are saying, is experiencing a Green Rush. Grassland oers a view of this world, peeking beneath the towering redwoods of Humboldt County, an epicenter of cannabis cultivation in California, where a sizable community is shaped by a plant regarded as both magical and medicinal; a plant whose cultivation holds the promise of prot, and, despite the changes in state policy, possible jail time.This formerly clandestine farming community is now boldly uncovering its greenhouses and growing giant plants in full sun, readying for what looks like the end of pot prohibition. Living amongst marijuana growers in Humboldt County, and promising to use a pseudonym to protect those she photographed, H. Lee gained access to a world most dont see. H. Lee is a ne-art photographer and writer living in New York.
H. Lees images unearth the clandestine world of cannabis cultivation in Northern Californias Humboldt County.

Iwan Baan takes the viewer on a one-year photographic journey around the worldalways on the lookout for ingenious homes in unexpected places and outstanding construction projects. A characteristic of his pictorial language is his engagement with the close relationship between humans and architecture, between social use and the various spatial situations. The catalog features fty-two photographs from last year accompanied by personal commentaries by the photographer. These are sensitive encounters with everyday and extraordinary places all over the globe that Baan has put together to form an engaged commentary on human living and survival strategies. Among the images is New York magazines magnicent cover photograph of a half blacked-out Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy 2012. Here and elsewhere the boundaries between architecture documentation and the interpretation of social living spaces become blurred. Born in 1975, Dutch photographer Iwan Baan is one of the foremost architectural photographers in the world today, collaborating, for example, with Rem Koolhas, Herzog & de Meuron, Toyo Ito, and Zaha Hadid. He received the 2010 Julius Shulman Institute Photography Award and the 2013 Architizer A+ Relevance Award presented by Lisa Phillips, director of the New Museum in New York.

Photographs and text by Catherine Leutenegger
Text by A.D. Coleman, Urs Stahel, and Joerg Bader
Eastman Kodak, the company which pioneered so much in photography from the 1880s through the 1960s, could have owned digital imaging; the very rst electronic camera was born in one of Kodaks labs. Instead, they missed that boat, going into a tailspin that resulted in their eventual bankruptcy. Tied to that economic engine, the fortunes of Rochester, New York, the archetypal company town where Kodak had its headquarters, fell as Big Yellow collapsed. Catherine Leuteneggers attentive, deadpan studies of Rochester today explore the face of a city once central to photography but now irrelevant and adrift.

A lush insiders look at the resort town of Palm Springs, Florida. After years of visiting as a tourist, Nancy Baron became a resident of this desert town and discovered that it was both everything and nothing like she expected it to be. The idea of Palm Springs evokes a well-dened image internationally. These varied denitions are mostly accurate, and yet this oasis of layered Americana is often misunderstood. A few steps from the resorts and o the main drag, there is a jewel of a small town, with something for everyoneand a sure path to the American dream.

Vacancy is a multifaceted portrait of two towns in the Mojave Desert that are as much rural desert communities as they are states of mind. The towns that both claim the title of Gateway to Death ValleyBaker, California, and Beatty, Nevadaare tight-knit communities of people who remain settled where most merely pass through.

Kehrer Verlag War Porn

Photographs and text by Christoph Bangert
Do I exploit my subjects? Is it morally justiable to work as a photographer in war zones and disaster areas? Why are we all so attracted to images of other peoples misery? Am I producing War Porn? As a photographer covering conicts for international publications, Christoph Bangert is regularly confronted with the dilemma between truthful documentation and (self-) censorship. Using his images taken during the past ten years in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Gaza, Bangert started an experiment: What would happen if we suppressed our need for self-censorship for once? The result is as shocking as it is honest.

Inshallah (God willing in Arabic) explores the Soviet and American occupations of Afghanistan and intertwines with the photographers past and present personal conicts.

Kehrer Verlag The Sea Remembers

Photographs and text by Rosemarie Zens
Reading a landscape, according to Roland Barthes, means rst of all perceiving it with the body and the memory with the memory of the body . . . so childhood is the best way to get to know a country. In the end there is really only one country: the country of childhood. In 1945 Rosemarie Zenss mother escaped from Pomerania with her infant daughter, on a trek with countless other refugees. Today, Zens retraces this journey, searching for rst and formative memories. Dream-like color landscapes are juxtaposed with fragments of family photographs.

Photographs by Andrea Ferrari
Text by Quentin Bajac and Laura Gasparini
This body of work is a visual investigation of a series of objects, photographs, and memorabilia found in the house of an unknown Milanese chemist. The collection and the biographical notes of Giulia C., the enigmatic gure at the origin of this work, allow Italian photographer Andrea Ferrari to ponder the topic of a visual alphabet. Combining documentaries and rearrangements, the photographic quest turns the assumed physical space of Giulia C.s house into a mental one. Through collecting, objects gain a sort of camouage and acquire an aura of enigma. Hidden meanings gain the upper hand over the actual objects.

Text by Bill Kouwenhouven and Paula Tognarelli
[Christopher] Chadbourne, like [David Foster] Wallace does in prose, brings back amazing images in his signature, close-up style. With his wide-angle lens and amboyant use of color he nds the kinds of insanely tight juxtapositions that bring to life the crash and chaos, not to mention the pressing humanity, that is the true experience of a fair at full frenzy.Bill Kouwenhoven State fairs, an annual American ritual, are a willingly accepted assault on the sensesvisual, acoustic, gastric (fried beer the latest delicacy)and a voluntary yielding of personal space to strangers.

Kube Publishing Ltd Muhammad: His Character and Conduct

Adil Salahi
Muslims all over the world see Muhammad as Gods last messenger to mankind. Through his actions, he showed the way to live a life that provides for all the needs of body, mind, and soul, and elevates mans aspirations towards a sublime ideal in a very simple, direct, and truthful manner. He built a state that was dedicated to truth and justice and to the liberation of man throughout the world. He wrote to emperors, kings, and rulers, calling on them to believe in God and to follow His message, yet, at the same time, he lived a life of poverty, leaving aside the riches that were oered to him. At a time when the Prophet is much maligned by writers, cartoonists, and various other detractors, this book aims to show Muhammads true character in detail, both in its most everyday and most extraordinary moments. Adil Salahis writings include the acclaimed Muhammad: Man and Prophet and Pioneers of Islamic Scholarship, and the English translation of the eighteen-volume In the Shade of the Quran. His main career has been in radio and print journalism, and for over thirty years he was editor of Islam in Perspective, a twice-weekly full-page column in the Arab News, a Saudi daily newspaper.
A presentation of the Prophets character: his love for family and follower, leadership before persecution, and spiritual devotion to God.

New Internationalist Why Things Are Going to Get Worse And Why We Should Be Glad
Mike Roscoe
The free-market capitalist system is in the process of collapse and we must now adjust to the reality of declining prosperity in the West. We should forget about growth and concentrate instead on the creation of jobs and reducing fossil fuel useand it isnt impossible to achieve these two apparently conicting aims. This is the thrust of the authors arguments and through the use of clear, consistent charts he builds his case up from rst principles. He graphically illustrates every important point and creates a compelling and powerful picture of why its bad, why its going to get worse, and why this presents an opportunity to make things better. This is a vision of life in which we will be forced to confront the real issues. Among other things, we must recognize that all wealth comes from the earth, we must concentrate on creating jobs and sharing earnings more fairly, and we should have more regulation, especially in relation to banks and corporations and reducing competition between nations. And most of all we must return to the real values of real industry away from the current obsession with making money from money.

New Society Publishers The Emergent Agriculture

Farming, Sustainability and the Return of the Local Economy
Gary Kleppel
Foreword by John Ikerd
Long embraced by corporations who are driven only by the desire for prot, industrial agriculture wastes precious resources and spews millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year, exacerbating climate change and threatening the very earth and water on which we depend. However, this dominant system, from which Americans obtain most of their food, is being slowly supplanted by a new paradigm. The Emergent Agriculture is a collection of fourteen thematic essays on sustainability viewed through the lens of farming. Arguing that industrial food production is incompatible with the realities of nature, science, and ethics, this lyrical narrative makes the case for a locally based food system which is: Stable in the face of economic uncertainty Resilient in the face of environmental variability Grounded in stewardship of the land, on attaching value to food and the craft involved in producing it, and on respecting the dignity of farmers, consumers, and livestock A revolution in food production is underway. Written from the vantage point of an ecologist who is also a farmer, The Emergent Agriculture is essential reading for anyone interested in food security and the potential for growing local economies. Food for thought about the future of food. Gary Kleppel is a professor of biology at the SUNY Albany, where he focuses on sustainable agriculture, conservation-based grazing, and the ecology of human-dominated landscapes. He and his wife Pam are owners of Longeld Farm, where they produce grass-fed lamb, wool, free range chickens and eggs, and artisanal breads.
Local, diverse, and resilientthe new culture of food.

New Society Publishers Seed Libraries

And Other Means of Keeping Seeds in the Hands of the People
Cindy Conner
Historically, seed companies were generally small, often family-run businesses. Because they were regionally based, they could focus on varieties wellsuited to the local environment. A Pacic Northwest company, for example, would specialize in dierent cultivars than a company based in the Southeast. However the absorption of these small, independent seed businesses into large multinationals, combined with the advancement of biotechnology resulting in hybrids and GMO seeds, has led to a serious loss of genetic diversity. The public is now at the mercy of the corporations that control the seeds. In the past few years, gardeners have realized the inherent danger in this situation. A growing movement is striving to preserve and expand our stock of heritage and heirloom varieties through seed saving and sharing opportunities. Seed Libraries is a practical guide to saving seeds through community programs, including: Step-by-step instructions for setting up a seed library A wealth of ideas to help attract patrons and keep the momentum going Proles of existing libraries and other types of seed saving partnerships Whoever controls the seeds controls the food supply. By empowering communities to preserve and protect the genetic diversity of their harvest, Seed Libraries is the rst step towards reclaiming our self-reliance while enhancing food security and ensuring that the future of food is healthy, vibrant, tasty, and nutritious. Cindy Conner is a permaculture educator, founder of Homeplace Earth and producer of two popular instructional gardening DVDs. She is also the author of Grow a Sustainable Diet.

Cultivating Food Systems for a Changing Climate
Laura Lengnick
Climate change presents an unprecedented challenge to the productivity and protability of agriculture in North America.

To enjoy the sustained production of food, ber, and fuel well into the twenty-rst century, we must begin now to make changes that will enhance the adaptive capacity and resilience of North American agriculture.

New Society Publishers Green Home Building

Money-Saving Strategies for an Affordable, Healthy, High-Performance Home
Miki Cook and Doug Garrett

According to conventional wisdom, building a green home is an expensive endeavor.

Using proven methods based on applied building science, the authors show how to: Lower base construction costs to provide funding for high performance upgrades Achieve a net-zero energy home, including zero-ing water, waste, carbon, and associated costs within fteen years Live aordably into the future, despite anticipated rising costs for fuel, water, materials, taxes, and health care This comprehensive guide to building green on any budget denes the strategies that maximize the return on green investments.

Miki Cook is a green building and sustainability consultant who has dedicated her career to educating contractors and the public on the strategies, methods, and benets of green homes.

New Society Publishers Coming Back to Life

The Updated Guide to the Work that Reconnects Revised Edition
Joanna Macy and Molly Young Brown

Foreword by Matthew Fox
Deepening global crises surround us. We are beset by climate change, fracking, tar sands extraction, GMOs, and mass extinctions of species, to say nothing of nuclear weapons proliferation and Fukushima, the worst nuclear disaster in history. Many of us fall prey to despair even as we feel called to respond to these threats to life on our planet. Authors Joanna Macy and Molly Brown address the anguish experienced by those who would confront the harsh realities of our time. In this fully updated edition of Coming Back to Life, they show how grief, anger, and fear are healthy responses to threats to life, and when honored can free us from paralysis or panic, through the revolutionary practice of the Work that Reconnects. New chapters address working within the corporate world and engaging communities of color as well as youth in the Work.

New Society Publishers Why I Walk

Taking a Step in the Right Direction
Kevin Klinkenberg
A recent survey shows that members of Gen Y are walking 37 percent more than a decade ago, biking 122 percent more and taking public transit 100 percent more. Still, the legacy of the car culture persists. Raised on the notion that driving equals freedom, too many of us just dont realize that a personally rewarding alternative even exists. Just over three years ago, author Kevin Klinkenberg moved to Savannah, Georgia, from Kansas City, Missouri. In large part, he chose his new home because he was seeking a truly walkable place to live. In Why I Walk, Kevin goes beyond the typical arguments against suburbia, showing how walking on a daily basis actively benets: His nances His sense of personal freedom His social life His health
The majority of us still cling to the belief that a house in the suburbs, with good schools, low crime, and easy parking, is the American Dream. By focusing directly on the real, measurable advantages of choosing to be a pedestrian, Why I Walk makes a convincing case for ending our love aair with the automobile. This highly readable, rst-person narrative handily provides the answer to the pressing question, Why do I walk? Why? Because getting there is twice the fun. Kevin Klinkenberg is the principal designer at K2 Urban Design. For more than two decades he has been working to create sustainable, sociable environments and walkable communities in cooperation with developers, cities, nonprots, and public agencies.

Marjana Gaponenko
Translated by Arabella Spencer
A book like a fantastic party, as unshakeable as a childs faith. . . . Astonishes to the very end.Neue Zrcher Zeitung A celebration of creation and all its wonders, full of the joy of life.Der Spiegel A panorama of twentieth century Central European history.Citation for the 2013 Adelbert von Chamisso Prize In this rollicking novel, ninety-six-year-old ornithologist Luka Levadski foregoes treatment for lung cancer and moves from Ukraine to Vienna to make a grand exit in a luxury suite at the Hotel Imperial. He reects on his past while indulging in Viennese cakes and savoring music in a gilded concert hall. Levadski was born in 1914, the same year that Marthathe last of the nowextinct passenger pigeonsdied. Levadski himself has an acute sense of being the last of a species. He may have devoted much of his existence to studying birds, but now he befriends a hotel butler and another elderly guest, who also doesnt have much time left, to share in the lively escapades of his penultimate days. This gloriously written tale, in which Levadski feels his heart knocking at the doors of his brain, mixes piquant wit with lofty musings about life, friendship, aging, and death. Marjana Gaponenko was born in 1981 in Odessa, Ukraine. She fell in love with the German language as a young girl, and began writing in German when she was sixteen. She lives in Vienna and Mainz.
A rollicking tale about facing death with verve and style, richly told with great feeling and historical depth.

As Hiro tentatively decides to reenter the world, he spends his days observing life around him from a park bench. Gradually he makes friends with Ohara Tetsu, a middle-aged salaryman who has lost his job but cant bring himself to tell his wife, and shows up every day in a suit and tie to pass the time on a nearby bench. As Hiro and Tetsu cautiously open up to each other, they discover in their sadness a common bond. Regrets and disappointments, as well as hopes and dreams, come to the surface until both nd the strength to somehow give a new start to their lives. This beautiful novel is moving, unforgettable, and full of surprises. The reader turns the last page feeling that a small triumph has occurred.

Umberto Eco Paris in the 1920sdizzy and decadent. Where a young man can make a fortune with his wits . . . unless he is led into temptation. Cocaines dandied hero Tito Arnaudi invents lurid scandals and gruesome deaths and sells these stories to the newspapers. But his own life becomes even more outrageous than his press reports when he acquires three demanding mistresses. Elegant, witty, and wicked, Pitigrillis classic novel was rst published in Italian in 1921 and charts the comedy and tragedy of a young mans downfall and the lure of a bygone era. The novels descriptions of sex and drug use prompted church authorities to place it on a list of forbidden books. Cocaine retains its venom even today. Pitigrilli was the pen name of Dino Segre, born in Turin in 1893. He worked as a foreign correspondent in Paris during the 1920s, and became equally celebrated and notorious for a series of audacious and subversive books. He died in 1975.

At twenty, he began secretly painting a series of long rolls of canvas, minutely detailing six decades of life in his village on Argentinas river frontier with Uruguay. After the death of Salvatierra, his sons return to the village from Buenos Aires to deal with their inheritance: a shed packed with canvases stretching over two miles in length, depicting personal and communal history. Museum curators come calling to acquire this strange, gargantuan artwork but an essential one of its rolls is missing.

Nicholas Brealey Publishing The Price of Fish

A New Approach to Wicked Economics and Better Decisions
Michael Mainelli and Ian Harris
Winner of the 2012 Gold Medal IPPY Award for Finance/Investment/ Economics. Mainelli and Harris oer an original and insightful look at the big and important long-term issues facing society today. . . . Policy makers need to read this book.Donald J. Smith, Boston University, author of BOND MATH: The Theory Behind the Formulas In this thought-provoking and enlightening book, Mainelli and Harris highlight a point that economists too often forget: that economics is, at its heart, the study of human behavior, and that both commerce and its wicked sister, nance, mean nothing unless they are connected to people and society. Bill Emmott, former editor of the Economist The price of sh cannot be right when we have over-shing, hunger, and ruined seas. More than at any other time in our history, the world is faced with a series of vicious and apparently insurmountable diculties, chief among them unstable nancial markets, rapidly diminishing resources, and an ecosystem that is becoming dangerously volatile. In The Price of Fish, Michael Mainelli and Ian Harris examine in a unique way these intractable and wicked problemssustainability, global warming, overshing, overpopulation, the pensions crisisand suggest that it is not that these problems are too complex to solve, but that our way of reading them is too simple. Too simple and often wrong. Using models developed by quantum physicists, the authors show a way to making better decisions which in turn point to answers to our most pernicious problems. Michael Mainelli and Ian Harris are co-founders of Z/Yen, a commercial think tank in London, England.
The founders of Londons leading think tank challenge readers to look at economic analysis in a different way.

Nicholas Brealey Publishing Walking the Woods and the Water

In Patrick Leigh Fermors footsteps from the Hook of Holland to the Golden Horn
Nick Hunt
Nick Hunt has written a glorious book, rich with insight and wit, about walking his way both across and into contemporary Europe. . . . So many memorable encounters with people and places! A book about gifts, modernity, endurance and landscape, it represents a ne addition to the literature of the leg. Robert Macfarlane, award-winning travel writer, author of The Wild Places and The Old Ways: A Journey On Foot This moving and profoundly honest book sometimes brings a sense of unlimited freedom, sometimes joy, sometimes an extraordinary, dream-like dislocation: always accompanied by a dazzling sharpness of hearing and vision. I see now how that youthful walk informed so much of Paddys style. Before setting out Hunt was going to write to Paddy. The letter was never written, and by the time he set o, Paddy was dead. How touched and fascinated he would have been to read this book.Artemis Cooper, biographer of Patrick Leigh Fermor and co-editor of The Broken Road In 1933, eighteen-year-old Patrick Leigh Fermor set out to chance and charm his way across Europe, like a tramp, a pilgrim, or a wandering scholar. The books he later wrote about this walk, including Between the Woods and the Water, are a half-remembered, half-reimagined journey through cultures now extinct and landscapes irrevocably altered by the traumas of the twentieth century. Nick Hunt dreamed of following in Fermors footsteps. Eighty years later he began his own great trudgeon foot all the way to Istanbul. He walked across eight countries, following two major rivers and crossing three mountain ranges. With only Fermors books to guide him, he trekked some 2,500 miles from Holland to Turkey. Why? For an old-fashioned adventure. To discover for himself what remained of hospitality, kindness to strangers, freedom, wildness, the unknown, the deeper currents of myth that still ow beneath Europes surface. This is a story worthy of Fermors own. Nick Hunt is a travel writer, freelance journalist, ction writer, and storyteller whose articles have appeared in the Economist, the Guardian, and other publications. He is also co-editor of The Dark Mountain.
Nick Hunt pays homage to Patrick Leigh Fermor by walking the same challenging route across Europe in this glorious book.

Connecting Culture, Cognition and Global Living
Joseph Shaules, PhD
Nobody does this sort of thing as well as Joseph Shaules.Robert Whiting, author of Tokyo Underworld and You Gotta Have Wa Exciting new research in neuroscience and cognition is revolutionizing our understanding of human behavior and the mind. The Intercultural Mind is a pioneering look at the new world of cultural neuroscience and how intercultural experiences can change the way we think. It is well known that traveling to a foreign land can teach us as much about ourselves as the culture were visiting, but we dont really know why this is the case. The Intercultural Mind, with the clarity of thought and intensity of purpose only a rare expert can bring to this subject, tries to nd out. Mixing the latest studies of the new science of the mind with the stories of travelers, students, and expatriates, Joseph Shaules explains in straightforward yet passionate language the cultural programming of our unconscious intuitive mind and sheds light on the hidden pitfalls of culture shock, bias, ethnocentrism, and cross-cultural misunderstanding. Every traveler, every sojourner, will nd the insights in this book to be invaluable. Joseph Shaules, PhD, has been an intercultural trainer and educator for more than twenty-ve years and has written several books on intercultural topics. He was a founding member and is a director of the Japan Intercultural Institute and is on the faculty of Keio University in Tokyo.

Open Letter launched in 2007 at the University of Rochester with the mission of expanding the readership for international literature in the United States. With a miniscule amount of literature in translation available to English-language readers, our rst goal was to establish a high-quality line of literary works in translation. Over the past seven years weve done just that, with books like Karaoke Culture by Dubravka Ugresic (a National Book Critics Circle Award nalist), Tirza by Arnon Grunberg, the widely reviewed and praised Zone by Mathias nard, and Alejandro Zambras The Private Lives of Trees, among others. Each season we select a healthy mixture of established authors (Marguerite Duras, Juan Jos Saer) with authors whose distinct, remarkable voices are new to English readers (Carlos Labb, Kristn marsdttir). Looking through our list, youll nd classics that have stood the test of time along with contemporary works from authors who are destined to become literary stars of the future. Setting out, we made the decision to design our books with a particular look in mind. Although each cover is distinct, youll notice in the following pages that all of our titles go together. Which is one reason why a number of bookstores have made beautiful Open Letter displays. I also want to take this opportunity to encourage you to connect with us online. Our blog and review site, Three Percent, is one of the most tracked Internet sites for information about international literature. (And home to the Best Translated Book Award.) Also, our website (openletterbooks.org), Facebook page (Open Letter Books), and Twitter account (@open_letter) are very vibrant and provide a slew of links to interesting books, reviews, articles on translation, bookstore news, and translationcentric events. We hope you enjoy our bookswere very excited to be here. www.openletterbooks.org www.rochester.edu/threepercent @open_letter
Open Letter Street of Thieves

Mathias nard
Translated by Charlotte Mandell
Recipient of three French literary awards, Mathias nards follow-up to the critically acclaimed Zone is a timely novel about a young Moroccan boy caught up in the turbulent events of the Middle East, and a possible murder. Exiled from his family for religious transgressions related to his feelings for his cousin, Lekhdar nds himself on the streets of Barcelona hiding from both the police and the Muslim Group for the Propagation of Koranic Thought, a group he worked for in Tangier not long after being thrown out on the streets by his father. Lekhdars transformationsfrom a boy into a man, from a devout Muslim into a sinnertake place against the backdrop of some of the most important events of the past few years: the violence and exciting eruption of the Arab Spring and the devastating collapse of Europes economy. If all that isnt enough, Lekhdar reunites with a childhood friendone who is planning an assassination, a murder Lekhdar opposes. A nalist for the prestigious Prix Goncourt, Street of Thieves solidies nards place as one of Frances most ambitious and keyed-in novelists of this century. This novel may even take Zones place in Christophe Claros bold pronouncement that nards earlier work is the novel of the decade, if not of the century.

Open Letter A Thousand Forests in One Acorn

An Anthology of Spanish-Language Fiction
Valerie Miles
A tremendous introduction to twenty-eight of the most inuential Spanishlanguage authors of the twentieth century, A Thousand Forests in One Acorn combines interviews with these authorsabout their inuences, about what theyre trying to accomplish with their writing (the Acorn)with each authors favorite piece ever written (the Thousand Forests). So, in addition to reading excerpts from Javier Marass best works (Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me, Dark Back of Time), you get to hear his reasons for why he thinks these are the best (the explanation for the bit from Tomorrow will change the way you read forever) and how his work as a translator (he translated Tristram Shandy into Spanish) has impacted his writing style. Along with the Spanish-language authors who have already made a name for themselves in EnglishCarlos Fuentes, Mario Vargas Llosa, Enrique VilaMatas, Ana Mara Matutethis collection includes a dozen authors never before translated into English. Authors like Elvio Gandolfo, whose story about a whale suddenly appearing over the town of Rosario (I tried to make something impossible, at least in terms of the physical laws and limits we are bound by at this moment in science and history, plausible) is one of the many highlights of the volume. Great for teaching and for anyone interested in Spanish-language literature as a whole, this is an indispensible anthologyone that will inuence writers for decades to come. Valerie Miles is the co-founder of Granta en espaol and was voted one of the Most Inuential Professionals in Publishing at the 2013 Buenos Aires Book Fair.

Translated by Dalya Bilu
FICTION February 5 x 8 | 375 pp Trade Paper US $15.95 | CAN $17.50 978-1-940953-03-8 W eBook available
From the 2010 winner of the Best Translated Book Award comes a harrowing, controversial novel about a womans revenge, Jewish identity, and how to talk about Adolf Hitler in todays world. Elinors comfortable lifepopular newspaper column, stable marriage, well-adjusted kidsis totally upended when she nds out that her estranged uncle is coming to Jerusalem to give a speech asking forgiveness for his decades-old book, Hitler, First Person. A shocking novel that galvanized the Jewish diaspora, Hitler, First Person was Aaron Gotthilfs attempt to understandand explainwhat it would have been like to be Hitler. As if that wasnt disturbing enough, while writing this controversial novel, Gotthilf stayed in Elinors parents house and sexually assaulted her slow sister. In the time leading up to Gotthilfs visit, Elinor will relive the reprehensible events of that time so long ago, over and over, compulsively, while building up the courageand planto avenge her sister in the most conclusive way possible: by murdering Gotthilf, her own personal Hilter. Along the way to the inevitable confrontation, Gail Hareven uses an obsessive, circular writing style to raise questions about Elinors mental state, which in turn makes the reader question the veracity of the supposed memoir that theyre reading. Is it possible that Elinor is following in her uncles writerly footpaths, using a rst-person narrative to manipulate the reader into forgiving a horric crime? Gail Hareven is the author of eleven novels, including The Confessions of Noa Weber, which won both the Sapir Prize for Literature and the Best Translated Book Award. Dalya Bilu is the translator of A.B. Yehoshua, Aharon Appelfeld, and many others.
From the Best Translated Book Awardwinning author, a novel of revenge, insanity, lies, and Hitler.

Open Letter In Praise of Poetry

Olga Sedakova
Translated by Stephanie Sandler, Ksenia Golubovich, and Caroline Clark
At an early age, Olga Sedakova began writing poetry and, by the 1970s, had joined up with other members of Russias underground second culture to create a vibrant literary movementone that was at odds with the political powers that be. This conict prevented Sedakovas books from being published in the U.S.S.R. Instead, they were labeled as being too esoteric, religious, and bookish. Until 1990, the only way her collections were available in Russian were in samizdat, hand-written copies, which circulated from reader to reader, building her reputation. In the 1990s, the situation changed dramatically, and now Sedakova has published twenty-seven volumes of verse, prose, translations, and scholarly researchalthough none, until now, have appeared in English translation. In Praise of Poetry is a unique introduction to her oeuvre, bringing together a memoir-essay written about her work, and two poetic works: Tristan and Isolde, which is one of her most mysterious long poems, and Old Songs, a sequence of deceptively simple poems that mix folk and Biblical wisdom. Olga Sedakova wrote prolically during the 1970s, one of the post-Brodsky poets. Her complex, allusive style of poetrygenerally labeled as neomodernist or meta-realismdidnt t the prescribed ocial aesthetics, so it wasnt available until the late 1980s. She currently teaches in the department of world culture at Moscow State University. Stephanie Sandler teaches Russian literature in the Slavic department at Harvard University. She co-translated Elena Fanailovas The Russian Version, which won the Best Translated Book Award for poetry in 2010.

Open Letter The Man Between

The Life and Legacy of Michael Henry Heim
Michael Henry Heim

Edited by Esther Allen, Sean Cotter, and Russell Valentino
When Michael Henry Heimone of the most respected translators of his generationpassed away in the fall of 2012, he left behind an astounding legacy. Over his career, he translated two-dozen works from eight dierent languages, including books by Milan Kundera, Dubravka Ugresic, Hugo Claus, and Anton Chekov. But Mike, as he was known to his legion of friends, was much more than that. His classes at UCLA on translation inspired a new generation of translators, and his work altering the way translation is viewed in the university will impact the livelihood of translators for decades to come. If that werent enough, upon his death it was revealed that Heim was the anonymous donor responsible for the PEN Translation Fundthe largest fund in America supporting up-and-coming translators. Hundreds of people in the literary community were impacted by Heims life and actions, and this book is a small way of honoring this quiet, humble man who, among many other things, is responsible for the title The Unbearable Lightness of Being (and all its variants) entering the English idiom. Comprising a number of dierent sectionsa short autobiography, pieces from authors he worked with, worksheets detailing his teaching and translation techniquesThe Man Between opens a window onto the life and teachings of Michael Henry Heim, and, similar to David Belloss Is That a Fish in Your Ear?, will be of great interest to anyone interested in language, international culture, and the art of translation.
An inside look at Michael Henry Heimone of the most prolic and culturally important translators ever.

Reading these poems is an uncanny experience. . . . We enter into this book alert to possibility, and leave knowing how asleep weve been.Nick Flynn Of all the meanings of exposed I think my favorite is the raw nerve shivering bug-like in the lamp light while the surgeon arranges his dainty knives. You can get close to that. You can brush its wriggling limb and hear the scream. You can lie there on the table, say, little nerve oh nerve itll be all right; there there, there there.

Talonbooks Birth of a Bridge

Maylis de Kerangal
Translated by Jessica Moore
Reminiscent of the sweeping scale of classic American adventure lms, this Medici Prizewinning novel chronicles the construction of an immense suspension bridge in a ctional city in California. Maylis de Kerangal interweaves the stories of a dozen men and women from the consortium of workers who converge on the site. With their various nationalities and social classes, these engineers, designers, divers, overseers, and protesters present a microcosm of not just California, but of humanity as a whole. Their collective effort to realize the megaproject recounts one of the oldest of human dramas, to domesticateand to radically transformour world through built form. Kerangals writing has been widely praised for its scope, originality, and use of language. The style of her prose is rich and innovative, playing with dierent registers (from the most highly literary to the most colloquial slang), taking risks and inventing words, and playing with speed and tension through grammatical ellipsis and elision. She employs a huge vocabulary and, most strikingly, brings together words not often combined to evoke startling comparisons. Maylis de Kerangal is the author of several novels in French. Her most recent, Naissance dun pont / Birth of a Bridge, won not only the Medici Prize but also the Franz Hessel Prize. She lives in Paris, France. Jessica Moore is the author of Everything, Now, part lyric, part memoir, as well as a translation of Jean-Franois Beauchemins Turkana Boy. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Reading Gertrude Steins Tender Buttons
Carl Peters
Published on the hundredth anniversary of Gertrude Steins Tender Buttons: objects, food, rooms, these annotations underline her intuitive use of the sounds and rhythms rather than the sense of words. Carl Peters illuminates the long prose-poems departures from conventional meaning and grammar and brings understanding to syntax noted for its deance of conventional norms. The analysis is sensitive to themes of emerging modernism and cubism, but also early feminism. Carl Peters has published two critical studies, one of poet bpNichol and the other of bill bissett and his important contributions to Canadian literature. He teaches university-level poetics and avant-garde art.

War Cantata
Larry Tremblay
Translated by Keith Turnbull
War Cantata looks at ways the impulse for violence is transmitted from one generation to the next, as when a father teaches his son contempt to help him become a soldier impervious to pity. Without focusing on a particular battle or soldier, this harsh, intense, choral text builds the rhythmic power of words to expose wars spiral toward hatred. One of Quebecs most versatile writers, Larry Tremblay is a writer, director, and actor whose work continues to achieve international recognition.

[OR] might be a collection of cipher poems. Or not. Codes are hidden everywhere, sliding through the atmosphere, slipping into microwave towers, handheld devices, your Twitter account.

A Poetics of Sleep
Sandra Huber
What happens when the line of Bergers wave (an EEG recording of brain waves in sleep) turns into a line of poetry, an act of focused consciousness? Since words are essentially awake, sleep rouses beneath them. At the same time, poetry itself is forced to change, written not by the principles of ink or lead but electroencephalography. Poet and author Sandra Huber received a Best of the Web award from Dzanc Books and a CIG award from Artists-in-Labs, where she was placed for nine months in the Tafti / Franken sleep laboratories at the Centre for Integrative Genomics in Lausanne.

POETRY October 6 x 9 | 112 pp Trade Paper US $16.95 978-0-88922-913-6 W* (exclues Canada)
A hundred years ago this year, the Japanese steamship Komagata Maru set sail for Canada with 376 Sikh, Muslim, and Hindu migrants traveling from Punjab, India. They were refused entry at Vancouver, even though all passengers were British subjects. The Komagata Maru sat moored in Vancouvers harbor for two months while courts decided the passengers right to accessand while the citys white citizens lined the pier taunting those onboard. Eventually, Canadas racist exclusion laws were upheld and the ship was forced to return to India. In his third poetry collection, dream/arteries, Phinder Dulai connects these 376 passengers with other New World settler migrants who traveled on the same ship throughout its thirty-six-year history, including to ports of call in Hong Kong, Japan, India, Turkey, Halifax, Montreal, and Ellis Island. By drawing on ship records, nautical maps, passenger manifests, and the rich, detailed record of the Komagata Maru, Dulai demonstrates how the 1914 incident encapsulates a broader narrative of migration throughout the New World. Dulais hybrid poetics fuse historical fact with the ctive. He interweaves words of loss and silence with the cacophonous sound bites of TV news culture, war coverage, and the manifestations of contemporary ennui. Framing the I in the provisional realm of the observer and subjectless space, Dulai draws out the poetic line to explore hope, possibility, and regeneration. Phinder Dulai is the author of two previous poetry books: Ragas from the Periphery (Arsenal Pulp Press, 1995) and Basmati Brown (Nightwood Editions, 2000). He lives in Vancouver.
Poems mine the archival record of Canadas anti-Asian immigration laws at the turn of the twentieth century.

True Stories of Disaster, Survival and Brutality
Eleanor Learmonth and Jenny Tabakoff
A fascinating post-mortem of how certain groups manage to survive while others ailed about in drunken, murderous chaos.The Daily Telegraph We approach the subject in the light of what can be called the Lord of the Flies principle, after the famous novel by William Golding in which a group of schoolboys is marooned on an uninhabited island after a plane crash. Lord of the Flies depicts the boys horrifying and alltoo-believable regression to a state of savagery and blood-lust. A superb mix of psychology, history, and nail-biting storytelling, No Mercy investigates historical instances of disaster and asks, How far would you go to survive? No Mercy looks at what happens to human beings when disaster strikes: how they tackle the task of survival, how they change, how they treat their companions. No Mercy covers the infamous Robbers Cave experiment in Oklahoma in the 1950s, the wrecks of the Batavia in 1629 and the French vessel Medusa o Mauritania in 1816, the Chilean mine collapse in 2010, and many more disaster situations. The authors examine the factors that lead to failure or success and how they are explained by modern neuroscience. Eleanor Learmonth has worked as a teacher and freelance journalist in Japan and Australia. Jenny Tabako is a senior journalist. Both live in Sydney, Australia, with their families.
In extremis, we are capable of a swift descent into savagery that is hard to believe and impossible to forget.

The mining community took up arms to protest unfair taxes imposed by a disorganized and greedy colonial government. The rebellion at Eureka Stockade is often viewed as the launch of democracy in Australia and is typically seen as an act of masculine revolt.

Forgotten Rebels is her groundbreaking account of the thousands of women who stood alongside the goldminers at one of Australias greatest nation-building events. From enduring three months of almost unbearable sea-sickness to surviving the wretchedness of daily life in the tent city, Wright tells the real stories of the women and men who lived and died in Australias feverish goldrush years.

Anton Chekhov
Translated by Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky
Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and vivid stylists of English.The New Yorker There have always been two versions of Anton Chekhovs heartrending and humorous masterwork: the one with which we are all familiar, staged by Konstatine Stanislavski at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1904, and the one Chekhov had originally envisioned. Now, for the rst time, both are available and published here in a single volume in translations by the renowned playwright Richard Nelson and Richard Peavar and Larissa Volokhonsky, the foremost contemporary translators of classic Russian literature. Shedding new light on this most revered play, the translators reconstructed the script Chekhov rst submitted and all of the changes he made prior to rehearsal. The result is a major event in the publishing of Chekhovs canon. Richard Nelsons many plays include Rodneys Wife, Goodnight Children Everywhere, Drama Desknominated Frannys Way and Some Americans Abroad, Tony Award nominated Two Shakespearean Actors and James Joyces The Dead (with Shaun Davey), for which he won a Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical, and the critically acclaimed, searing play cycle, The Apple Family Plays. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have produced acclaimed translations of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov, and Mikhail Bulgakov. Their translations of The Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina won the 1991 and 2002 PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prizes. Pevvear, a native of Boston, and Volokhonsjky, of St. Petersburg, are married to each other and live in Paris.
A major new interpretation of Anton Chekhovs masterpiece.

Torrey House Press The Story of My Heart

As Rediscovered by Terry Tempest Williams and Brooke Williams
Richard Jefferies, Terry Tempest Williams, and Brooke Williams

While browsing a Stonington, Maine, bookstore, Brooke Williams and Terry Tempest Williams discovered a rare copy of an exquisite autobiography by nineteenth-century British nature writer Richard Jeeries, who develops his understanding of a soul-life while wandering the wild countryside of Wiltshire, England. Brooke and Terry, like John Fowles, Henry Miller, and Rachel Carson before, were inspired by the prescient words of this visionary writer, who describes ineable feelings of being at one with nature. In essays set alongside Jeeriess writing, the Williams share their personal pilgrimage to Wiltshire to understand this man of cosmic consciousness and how their exploration of Jeeries deepened their own relationship while illuminating dilemmas of modernity, the intrinsic need for wildness, and what it means to be human in the twenty-rst century. Terry Tempest Williams is the author of fourteen books including Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place and When Women Were Birds. Recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, she teaches at Dartmouth and the University of Utah where she is the Annie Clark Tanner scholar in the environmental humanities graduate program. Her work has been anthologized and translated worldwide. Brooke Williams has spent thirty years advocating for wildness, most recently with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and as executive director of the Murie Center in Moose, Wyoming. He is the author of four books including Halives: Reconciling Work and Wildness, and dozens of articles. Brooke and Terry have been married since 1975. They live with their dogs in Jackson, Wyoming, and Castle Valley, Utah.

His Western Realism is a refreshing jolt, a throwback to Steinbeck and Stegner with its own stamp of uniqueness.Anthony Swoord, author of Jarhead and Hotels, Hospitals, and Jails Hepners starkly poetic voice leads us into the lives of characters torn between the imagined glories of the innite and the raw realities of hard labor here on earth.

Let me just say that Ive never read anything like it.Harry Mathews The language of the stars is the language of the body. Like a star, the anorexic burns fuel that isnt replenished; she is held together by her own gravity. With luminous, lyrical prose, Binary Star is an impassioned account of a young woman struggling with anorexia and her long-distance, alcoholic boyfriend. On a road trip circumnavigating the United States, they stumble into a book on veganarchism, and believe theyve found a direction. Binary Star is an intense, fast-moving saga of two young lovers and the culture that keeps them sick (or at least inundated with quick-x solutions); a society that sells diet pills, sleeping pills, magazines that prole celebrities who lose weight or too much weight or put on weight, and books that pimp diet secrets or recipes for success.

ESCALATOR: The ultrasound machine gives the parents the ability to talk to the unborn by their gender, taking the intersexed nine-month conversation away from the child. The opportunities limit us in our new world. Encourage parents to not know, encourage parents to allow anticipation on either end. Escalators are a nice ride, slowly rising and falling, writing while riding, notes for the poem, meeting new people at either end, Excuse me, EXCUSE ME. . . . My escalator notes became a poem. CAConrads ECODEVIANCE contains twenty-three new (Soma)tic writing exercises and their resulting poems, in which he pushes his political and ecological eorts even further. These exercises, unorthodox steps in the writing process, work to break the reader and writer out of the quotidian and into a more politically and physically aware present. In performing these rituals, CAConrad looks through a sharper lens and conrms the necessity of poetry and politics. CAConrad is the author of several books of poetry and essays. A 2014 Lannan Fellow, a 2013 MacDowell Fellow, and a 2011 Pew Fellow, he also conducts workshops on (Soma)tic poetry and Ecopoetics.

Her poems comprise some of the most inviting lyrics Ive found in a living poet.Bookslut Phrase by phrase Nguyens work can be conversational, playful, funny, angry, acutely self-aware, and loaded with sensory information.Anselm Berrigan, from the introduction Red Juice represents a decade of poems written roughly between 1998 and 2008, previously only available in small-run handmade chapbooks, journals, and out-of-print books. This collection of early poems by Vietnamese American poet Hoa Nguyen showcases her feminist ecopoetics and unique style, all lyrical in the post-modern tradition.

Wave Books Retrievals

Garrett Caples
I adore [Capless] prescription to read widely and even perversely; and his breezy style is engaging.Don Share Caples is part of a younger generation of writers reinvigorating contemporary poetry by combining modernist and Language-poetic verbal angularity with the sheer enthusiasm and lustiness of adolescence.Publishers Weekly From Theory on Retrievals: The concept of the poet-critic has always been a compelling one to me; its hard not to admire 19th century French poets like Gautier, writing elegant prose in newspapers on topics the general public was more interested in reading about than it was in reading his poetry. (Ive never been one to hold the general publics lack of interest in poetry against it; thats the way of the world.) The compensation was that being a poet gave one a certain license as a critic to roam among all the arts. Retrievals is a book of essays written over the course of ten years about underrecognized poets, unfairly discredited critics, and artists obscured by more famous relations. Garrett Caples is the author of The Garrett Caples Reader (Angle Press/Black Square Editions, 1999), Complications (Meritage Press, 2007), and Quintessence of the Minor (Wave Books, 2010). He is the co-editor of The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia (University of California Press, 2013). He is the poetry editor at City Lights Books, and curates the Spotlight Poetry Series there. He has a PhD in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and lives in Oakland.
Ten years of poet and critic Garrett Capless writing on neglected gures of art and poetry.

Wave Books Thing Music

Anthony McCann
The poems of Anthony McCann are beautiful, brutal, and unerring. They present us with, or return us to, a complicated, violent, poignant, weird, and mysterious worlda world which is very particularly his, and also our own, resung. For some time now I have believed McCann to be one of the nest poets writing today.Maggie Nelson McCann demonstrates that the truth surrounds us all; our best way of connecting with it is through compassion and love. With equal parts exuberance and dread, the speaker encourages us to waste the whole day feeling these things.Boston Review Thing Music performs intertwinings both painful and pleasurable: intertwinings of perceiving bodies with their perceptual worlds, of persons with other persons, and of the I and the You. Marked in direct and indirect ways by the Occupy movement, these poems model a kind of porous personhood, with bodies and persons traversed by light, noise, violence, culture, and words. From Mouth Guitar: Now the pulsing afternoon takes each belly in its hands lifts it up towards some glass and all thats inside While he crawled on with his body towards vengeance or the state Anthony McCann lives in Los Angeles and teaches in the University of California-Riversides Palm Desert MFA program. He is the Poet Laureate of Machine Project, and also teaches courses at the California Institute of the Arts.
Resounding poems of being as being-in-the-world, with personhood inextricable from landscape, language, and culture.

Wave Books Wallless Space

Ernst Meister
Translated by Graham Foust and Samuel Frederick
Meisters work is mesmerizingly succinct and elusive, but also ambitious to a degree almost unheard-of among presently-observed aesthetic moments. Highly recommended.The Hungton Post Foust and Frederick have done us all a great favor. Meisters poetry could have been lost in the rift of time that he wrote so elegantly about.The Rumpus A good, interesting collection, in a solid translation. . . . In Times Rift is a welcome volume and certainly suggests that Meister is a signicant poet deserving greater attention.Complete Review Wallless Space is a translation of German poet Ernst Meisters nal collection and the last of the informal trilogy which also includes In Times Rift (Wave Books, 2012) and Of Entirety Say the Sentence (Wave, forthcoming 2015). Meisters poems are brief but dense, intense but playful; obsessed with mortality and the intersections of the everyday and the innite. Ernst Meister (191179) was born in Hagen, Germany. He was posthumously awarded the most prestigious award for German literature, the Georg Bchner Prize.
Graham Foust is the author of several collections of poetry, including To Anacreon in Heaven and Other Poems (Flood Editions, April 2013). He teaches at the University of Denver. Samuel Frederick is the author of Narratives Unsettled: Digression in Robert Walser, Thomas Bernhard, and Adalbert Stifter (Northwestern University Press, 2012). He is an assistant professor of German at the Pennsylvania State University.
The nal collection of Ernst Meister, one of the great neglected lyric poets of post-war Germany.

White Pine Press Swimming For The Ark: New & Selected Poems 19902015
Joan Murray
One of the few poets whose work remains accessible to both scholars of poetry and the casual reader. . . . Her nely wrought free-form verse reads as easily as prose despite its dense, lush imagery.The Harvard Review Working in free verse, Murray is a master of the single unforgettable detail. Her accessible image-driven narratives harness the urgency of their moral or social context while staying true to the pacing and music of daily life. The Poetry Foundation (publisher of Poetry magazine) Swimming for the Ark demonstrates why Joan Murray is praised as one of the leading narrative poets of our time. This career-dening book oers twenty-two new poems along with generous selections from her earlier books: The Same Water (winner of the Wesleyan New Poets Series), Looking for the Parade (winner of the National Poetry Series Open Competition), Queen of the Mist (the Niagara narrative which won her a Broadway commission), and Dancing on the Edge. This highly engaging book vividly dramatizes an urban youth and a rural life, along with deeper concerns about history, art, and injustice. From Doorway: Of course we said wed help you the cops were after you, you said, and we were rebel girls, werent we? the four of us fteen, the same age you said you were, when we crammed together in the doorway of a gated store, the windows full of knives, vibrators, transistor radios. I was the only one who understood: Lemony blond, sweet-voiced for a boy, you hid behind our Tangee lipstick, our teased-up hair-dos, the wispy-angora sweaters I can see in the photo-booth photographs I still have here . . . Joan Murray is the author of four prize-winning collections (from W. W. Norton, Wesleyan, and Beacon Press). She has been a repeat guest on NPRs Morning Edition and is editor of the Poems to Live By anthologies and The Pushcart Book of Poetry.

White Pine Press Risk

Tim Skeen
Risk is a poetic autobiography played out on a kaleidoscopic panorama of history. Skeens poems document a working-class childhood in Kentucky and Ohio, the loss of a brother, a mothers face as hard and bright as Formica, and they detail the unexpected gift of a comfortable middle age in California, where / even convertibles make sense. Skeen moves through the world with equal parts wariness and gratitude.Gary Young Risk holds the details of the past up to the light of the present with an eye that rescues American life mid-century. Most importantly, each poem risks the clarity necessary to discover the meaning of who we have become. Christopher Buckley My Brothers Trombone for Ernie The instrument didnt come naturally to him. Nothing came naturally to him, not even death. He drowned in The Song of the Volga Boatman. Mastodon rolled over and refused to come to life. I had my own troubles with the cornet. If he showed warnings of the diculty ahead, I didnt take notice. Thirteen years old, I lorded it over his twelve. I kept my instrument behind my mothers cedar chest for years until I swapped it for a Brad Krieger painting which takes my mind o that time. After he was shot, I wanted to sell his trombone or give it away or bury it with his body. What good would that have done when each time I see a paperclip I recall the sound of his breath slipping through that trombone? Tim Skeen, who won the John Ciardi Prize for Poetry in 2001 for his book Kentucky Swami, coordinates the MFA program in creative writing at California State University, Fresno.

Moon Chung-hee
Translated by Richard Silberg and Clare You
Dazzling strokes of falling stars in falling water. I want to write poems like that, writes Moon Chung-hee. Thanks to Silberg and You, these poems dazzle bright in English. Here love is violent and suered, an encysted stone . . . wedged in the heart, and deance trembles the soul: Dress up for men, you say? / Nonsense / I stripped / for them . . . the worlds women / root on earth, naked. Chung-hee casts o the watch and mink stole, and exclaims: I want to be a free dancer from now on.Sholeh Wolp Moon Chung-hees poetry is passionate, impetuous, a poetry of love, epiphany, feminist assertion, even rebellion. Richard Silberg co-translated, with Clare You, The Three Way Tavern and This Side of Time by Ko Un. He is author of The Horses: New and Selected Poems. Clare You is the chair of the Center for Korean Studies at USC Berkeley, and has co-translated modern Korean poetry and ction into English.

Using examples from the life of the Buddha, Maitreyabandhu provides an easily understood outline of the spiritual life of Buddhists in the Triratna Community. The journey starts with our mind, particularly when we begin to look into the truth of thingsthe truth of the friend in hospital, the con we carry to the graveside. What we nd in our guide, the Buddha, is a man with a t, healthy mind. To get t, we need to work on becoming a happy healthy human being. Maitreyabandhu takes us on this journey with practical week-by-week exercises, focusing on cultivating mindful awareness and being happy. Maitreyabandhu is an experienced teacher and a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order. Ordained in 1990, he has published articles on Buddhism and meditation in the United Kingdom and abroad.

Bill Littleeld
Illustrated by Stephen Coren
Bill Littleeld plays games even as he writes about them, or talks about them on his nationally syndicated radio program, Only a Game. He unabashedly versies not for prot, or a championship cup, but for fun. He makes no bones about it: these verses are doggerel. From mumblety-peg to the Olympics, from the bedrooms of aspiring nine-year-olds to the boardrooms of sports executives, his imagination and playfulness illuminate the rings, rinks, elds, and frustrations of sports and games. What Racers Do Racers race. Thats what they do, And they are fast, and noisy, too. (Of quiet they are quite bereft, Driving fast and turning left.) Through headphones, as they speed along, They hear instructions like a song Screeching in the treble clef: Keep driving fast and turning left! Precisely where it had begun, The race will end. It will be won, For someone opposite of last Kept turning left and driving fast. The former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky writes, What is it about rhyme? Whatever it is, we fall in love with it (if ever) early in life: as soon as we learn to talk, or probably sooner. The same can be said about love for sports. By bringing together these two forms of attachment, the clever Littleeld reminds us that poetry and sports, at a level deeper than their dierent kinds of grandiosity, both have roots in childhood pleasures. While we condently expect children to delight in them, we oer them for adults. Take Me Out takes us out to the ball game, to the chess match, to the squash court, in rain and shine.
Whimsical light poems about sports and games by one of Americas top sports commentators.

In the intervening years, he has earned a PhD in journalism and moved from journalism to academia, devoting himself primarily to teaching. Apart from writing and his academic life, Xiang Yang is an established woodblock artist.
