Beginner’s Guide to Character Creation in Maya Edited by 3dtotal Publishing Text by Jahirul Amin 3 AK Press In 1891, when coal companies in eastern Tennessee brought in cheap con- vict labor to take over their jobs, workers responded by storming the stock- ades, freeing the prisoners, and loading them onto freight trains. Over the next year, tactics escalated to include burning company property and looting company stores. This was one of the largest insurrections in US working- class history. It happened at the same time as the widely publicized northern labor war in Homestead, Pennsylvania. And it was largely ignored, then and now. Dixie Be Damned engages seven similarly “hidden” insurrectionary episodes in Southern history to demonstrate the region’s long arc of revolt. Countering images of the South as pacified and conservative, this adventurous re telling presents history in the rough. This is not the South of confederate flags and Toby Keith songs. It’s the South of John Brown’s fanaticism and Robert F. Williams’s book Negroes with Guns, a South where slaves aren’t the only ones getting lynched and the oppressed refuse to quietly suffer their fate. This is people’s history at its best: slave rebellions, multiracial banditry, labor battles, prison uprisings, urban riots, and more. Neal Shirley grew up in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, where he is in- volved in several anti- prison initiatives and runs a small publishing project called the North Carolina Piece Corps. Saralee Stafford was born in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Her recent political work has focused on connecting the struggles of street organizations with those of anarchists in the area. She teaches gender- related health in Durham, North Carolina.

Let’s begin with the basics: violence is an inherent part of policing. The police represent the most direct means by which the state imposes its will on the citizenry. They are armed, trained, and autho- rized to use force. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police en- counter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent. Using media reports alone, the Cato Institute’s last annual study listed nearly seven thousand victims of police “misconduct” in the United States. But such stories of police brutality only scratch the surface of a national epidemic. Every year, tens of thousands are framed, blackmailed, beaten, sexually as- saulted, or killed by cops. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on civil judgments and settlements annually. Individual lives, families, and commu- nities are destroyed. In this extensively revised and updated edition of his seminal study of po- licing in the United States, Kristian Williams shows that police brutality isn’t an anomaly, but is built into the very meaning of law enforcement in the United States. From antebellum slave patrols to today’s unarmed youth being gunned down in the streets, “peace keepers” have always used force to shape behavior, repress dissent, and defend the powerful. Our Enemies in Blue is a well- researched page- turner that both makes historical sense of this legalized social pathology and maps out possible alternatives. Kristian Williams is the author of several books, including American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination. He co- edited Life During Wartime: Resisting Counterinsurgency, and lives in Portland, Oregon. Our Enemies in Blue Police and Power in America Revised Edition Kristian Williams 5 AK Press Whenever we envision a world without war, without prisons, without injus- tice, we are engaging in speculative fiction. Radicals and activists devote their lives to envisioning and creating another world. What better vehicle for them to explore their work and its possibilities than through writing original sci- ence fiction stories? Walidah Imarisha and adrienne maree brown brought together twenty radical writers to do just that. The result is Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements, an enchanting and enlightening collection that un- covers truths buried in the fantastic, and injects a healthy dose of imagination and innovation into our search for truth. It is the first book to explore the connections between radical science fiction and movements for social change, using visionary prose to weave strands of real-life experiences— inequality and exploitation, struggle and solidarity— into new ways of understanding our- selves, the world around us, and all the other selves and worlds that could be. The stories are rounded off with essays by Tananarive Due and Mumia Abu- Jamal, as well as a resource guide to other literary, cinematic, and musi- cal examples of radical science fiction. Walidah Imarisha is a writer, organizer, educator, and spoken-word art- ist. She is the author of the poetry collection Scars/Stars and facilitates writ- ing workshops at schools, community centers, youth detention facilities, and women’s prisons. adrienne maree brown is a 2013 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow writing sci- ence fiction in Detroit, Michigan. She received a 2013 Detroit Knight Arts Challenge Award to run a series of Octavia Butler– based writing workshops.

Often remembered for the historic fights between Karl Marx and Michael Bakunin, the debates and experimentation during the International helped to refine and focus anarchist ideas into a doctrine of international working class self- liberation.

The narration and pace are expertly calibrated.” — Los Angeles Times, on Wingshooters “Hauntingly provocative . . . an excellent choice for book discussion groups.” — Library Journal, on Wingshooters Four people on a backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada find more adven- ture than they ever imagined. They are drawn to the mountains for reasons as diverse as their own lives. Gwen Foster, a counselor for at- risk youths, is struggling with burnout from the demands of her job. Real estate agent Oscar Barajas is adjusting to the fall of the housing market and being a single parent. Todd Harris, an attorney, is stuck in a lucrative but unfulfilling career— and in a failing marriage. They are all brought together by their trainer, Tracy Cole, a former athlete with a taste for risky pursuits. When the hikers start up a pristine mountain trail that hasn’t been trav- eled in years, all they have to guide them is a hand- drawn map of a remote, mysterious place called Lost Canyon. At first, the route past high alpine lakes and under towering, snowcapped peaks offers all the freedom and exhila- ration they’d hoped for. But when they stumble onto someone who doesn’t want to be found, the group finds itself faced with a series of dangerous con- flicts, moral dilemmas, confrontations with nature, and an all- out struggle for survival. Moving effortlessly between city and wilderness, Lost Canyon explores the ways that race, class, and culture shape experience and perception. It exam- ines the choices good people must face in desperate situations. Set in the grand, wild landscape of California’s mountains, Lost Canyon is a story of brewing social tension and breathtaking adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Nina Revoyr is the author of four previous novels, including Southland, a Los Angeles Times bestseller and “Best Book” of 2003.

Nonetheless there are a few, and added to their small number ought to be Kaylie Jones.”— The New York Times Merryn Huntley is rudely awakened to the many bad decisions she has made in her life when she is told by two Dallas police officers that her wealthy husband Beau has been killed in a car accident, along with a local waitress. Merryn’s first instinct is to flee in order to protect her nine- year- old daugh- ter, and the only place that feels safe enough is her mother’s beautiful, iso- lated home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Merryn’s mother, the redoubtable Bibi, always said to her as a child, “When you tell a lie, make sure you keep it as close to the truth as possible, because it will be easier to remember.” Ironically, from the moment Merryn arrives, she is forced into twisting the truth— about how much she knew of her husband and his shady business affairs; about her own secret lovers; and most impor- tantly, that she is beginning to doubt the one person who has always been the greatest influence in her life: her mother. The situation worsens when two FBI agents show up and begin to ask Merryn questions about her husband’s business, which only intensifies her need to continue lying. While Merryn’s perfect life begins to crumble around her, she must decide whether or not she can face the most painful reality of all— that she has been lying to herself her entire life. Kaylie Jones has published six books, the most recent a memoir, Lies My Mother Never Told Me. Her novel A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries was adapted as a Merchant Ivory film in 1998.

From the author of the international bestseller Go the Fuck to Sleep comes a long- awaited sequel about the other great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane, loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to Fucking Eat breaks the code of child- rearing silence, giving moms and dads new, old, grand- , and expectant a much- needed chance to laugh about a universal problem.

Turnbull is a working- class town full of weary people who struggle to make ends meet. Evictions, alcoholism, and random violence are commonplace. In the heat of July 1983, when eight- year- olds James Illworth, Dallas Darwin, and Felix Cassidy leave their homes to play in the woods, they have to navigate between the potentially violent world of angry adults and even angrier teens. Little do they know that by the end of the summer, one of them will lay dead, after a bit of playful bullying from older teens escalates to tragedy. Loosely based on a real crime that took place on Long Island in 1979, Little Beasts is a panorama of a poor, mostly white neighborhood surrounded by the affluent communities of the East End. After the murder, the novel’s main characters must come to grips with the aftermath, face down the decisions they’ve made, and reestablish their faith in the possibility of a better world.

I loved this book— the first that captures the soulful mystery of what drives the global- nomadic, urban- punk, musician- artist- poet squatter underground movement, carving out its future in the dystopian cities that are already here. The book’s heroine is one to die for.”— V. Vale, RE/Search Publications Sid arrives in New York City in 1995 eager to join the anarchist squatting scene. She’s got a tattoo, she listens to the right bands . . . so why would she get a job and rent some tiny shoe-box apartment when she could take over a whole building with a gang of wild young pirates? But the Lower East Side is changing; there are no more empty buildings, the squats are cliquey and full. Sid teams up with a musician from Mexico and together they find their way across the bridge to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Packs of wild dogs roam the water front and the rough building in which they finally find space is occu- pied by misfits who don’t know anything about the Manhattan squatting scene, Food Not Bombs, Critical Mass, or hardcore punk. But this is Sid’s chance and she’s determined to make a home for herself— no matter what. Stacy Wakefield is best known for her seminal nonfiction book Not for Rent— one of the first to chronicle squatting in the modern era and an underground classic. She spent years living in squatted buildings in Europe and New York.

Factor counters convention with a sharp sense of character, evoca- tive subplots, and the dangerous allure of mercury itself.”— The New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice The love in Love Maps is not the kind associated with domestic bliss; it is the kind that bubbles up at inopportune moments, attaching itself to people who might be better off free, causing mayhem and longing, along with moments of rare beauty. The title is taken from a series of paintings by Sarah Marker, an artist who ekes out a living teaching humanities at a fancy high school in Connecticut. The story begins when Sarah receives a letter from Philip, her erstwhile husband. They have lived separately for seven years, without having seen each other once, without having formally severed ties, in a state of sustained am- bivalence. Now he wants to visit. As much as Sarah would like to see him, she is terrified at what he will do when he discovers that he has a son. Sarah bundles up her son and once again takes flight, only to arrive in a place she had not intended. While navigating the terrain of the 1980s art scene in New York City, she must confront the terrible events surrounding Philip’s departure and reconcile the expectations of domestic life with her own frac- tured experience of family, confronting the violence and aching love at the heart of this story. Eliza Factor is a writer and the founder of Extreme Kids & Crew. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and three children. Her debut novel, The Mercury Fountain, was published in 2012.

I’m a Library of Congress girl myself, but Larson’s uncannily original fiction deserves its own number within any system of library classification.”— Laura Lippman, author of After I’m Gone The Immune System is the explosive final installment in the Dewey Decimal tril- ogy. Picking up months after the events of The Nervous System, Dewey finds him- self running dirty operations for the crooked Senator Howard. When Dewey is tasked with disrupting unrest from a growing group of outcast civilians, and simultaneously given the assignment of protecting a pair of Saudi royals, he is forced to look within and make some impossible choices. Ultimately, this puts him at odds with his benefactor and the powers that be. In the course of the novel, we learn the true nature of the 2/14 cataclysm that decimated New York City, and by the end of it, Dewey must choose whether or not to face his own past. He must also decide if he is to be part of the elite control system, or if he’s willing to commit himself to the unknown, without the protections he enjoys in the good favor of the landlords of the new New Order. Nathan Larson is an award- winning film music composer, having created the scores for over thirty movies, including Boys Don’t Cry, Dirty Pretty Things, and Margin Call.

Dixyn Greene has it all. She is a hustler’s wife, the mother of a beautiful daughter, and she owns a town house and a nice car—she’s living the life. But when the feds arrest her man, Dixyn’s whole world begins to crumble. Quickly things go from bad to worse—as the bills begin to mount, her ability to continue to maintain her lavish lifestyle is put to the test. Strapped for cash, her good intentions lead to bad decisions. Enter Bryan Winters, B- Dub, and her one saving grace—or so she initially believes. In Dixyn’s time of need, B- Dub turns out to be no more than an op- portunist with his own agenda. Dixyn becomes indebted to him and is forced to do his bidding in order to survive. With B- Dub on her back, she submerges herself into the murky waters of street life and is quickly entangled in a web of lust, betrayal, blackmail, and deceit. She soon discovers that there are no rules in the game. In the game, loyalty is limited. Trust will get you hurt and love will get you killed. Shannon Holmes wrote his first novel, the urban classic B- More Careful, while serving a five- year prison sentence. Upon his release, Holmes found instant success: the novel would go on to sell one hundred thousand copies in its first year of publication, and more than three hundred and fifty thousand to date, landing him on both the New York Times and Essence magazine best- seller lists.

Hers are some of the most enviable poems I have ever read, and herald Mei- en as the new standard bearer for innovative structure, terrify- ing acknowledgment, ecstatic statement, and, I daresay, beauty.”— Kathy Fagan Lo Kwa Mei- en’s Yearling explores adolescence through a deeply moving and poignantly raw lens. As the speaker ages, so too does the poetry, creating la- ments for the loss of friendship, the loss of species, and sometimes the loss of humanity itself. Harsh, forlorn, and yet effervescent, Mei- en’s lyricism per- fectly captures the ethos of youth in an unsure world. From “Rara Avis Decoy”: Wild diamond rocking on the floor of a predatory boat. Point & say sweet traitor to the wood & water for wanting to be made of both. My name is I know not what I am as a country of mothers & fathers comes down. They call me sleeping beauty. I dream I am in flight, body unfolding, folding, a bullet wounding water again & again— the mysterious love of a father & mother a two- barreled gaze. The gun in my dream speaks my name & sees a beating vein. Takes aim— Lo Kwa Mei-en is from Singapore and Ohio. Her poems have appeared in Boston Review, Guernica, the Kenyon Review, West Branch, and other journals, and won the Crazyhorse Lynda Hull Memorial Poetry Prize and the Gulf Coast Poetry Prize.

Deeply metaphysical, and deeply attentive to our spiritual as well as physical uses and abuses of nature, O’Nights implicates language’s— indeed, lyric poetry’s— sad role in this endeavor.”— Susan Wheeler In O’Nights, Cecily Parks constructs stunning manifestations of a modern Thoreauvian wilderness, investigating how the natural world gives shape to the self, body, and emotions. These lyrical, transcendental poems study the duality of nature’s feminine and masculine identities, and in their simplicity, offer a space where humankind truly belongs. From “Bell”: This progress, as in the wind- scalloped snowmeadow pretending to be moon. This love that sets us scrambling over the map’s last ridge, our red hoods bright in shrunken sky. This metallic weather in which we are the ore. This alder. These crimson- tipped willows reverberating next to a river of turquoise ice. This following the deep tracks of one coyote stepping where another has stepped. This wilderness that we trespass, burning like berries in the juniper and becoming the air in the belfry. Cecily Parks is the author of the chapbook Cold Work (Poetry Society of America, 2005) and the collection Field Folly Snow (University of Georgia Press, 2008), which was a finalist for the Norma Farber First Book Award and the Glasgow/ Shenandoah Prize for Emerging Writers. Her poems have appeared in Boston Review, Kenyon Review, Orion, Tin House, Virginia Quarterly Review, the Yale Review, and elsewhere. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Consisting primarily of three sequences, this audaciously original first book is actually one complex collage with recurrent points of reference, assembled with uncommon skill and passionate care.” — Martha Collins Intimate and explorative, Refuge/es intricately weaves together political, histori- cal, and highly specific cultural movements across many countries and time periods; challenging themes of war, violence, love, and suffering. Michael Broek counters the macro worldly lens with a microscopic view of what makes us distinctly human, which exposes a deep irony: sometimes what we run from, we also create. The Counterpane 7 I’ve dreamt nightmares of wounds & made moans so loud I woke myself bellowing. I somehow know what is coming— everything that follows after the first Word is what has to follow. I am one of these men: I hear a man in a bar say, “One” & because he speaks I know just why I will die. This is not because I’m proud. I’ve dreamt he dapples me with whiskey kisses then makes me sit on the Judas chair. Tonight I’ll dream a long dream of witness. Michael Broek is the author of two chapbooks, The Logic of Yoo (Beloit Poetry Journal) and The Amputation Artist (Emerge Literary Journal). His poems have been published in the American Poetry Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, Blackbird, Connotation Press, Drunken Boat, Exit Strata, Fourteen Hills, the Great River Review, Literary Imagination, the Literary Review, and elsewhere in print and online.

The significance of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book to our musical canon is well known; the remarkable story of its copyist and compiler, Francis Tregian, less so. Born into Cornish Catholic nobility and plumb into the choppy waters of the Elizabethan Age, he must rely on his surpassing skill as a musician to survive. In this Prix des Libraires (Booksellers Prize) winning novel, Anne Cuneo deftly recreates the musician's journey across Renaissance Europe, which sees him befriending Shakespeare, swapping partitions with William Byrd and Monteverdi, and playing in the court of Henri IV of France. The result is as gripping as it is authentic: an epic, transcontinental chore- ography in which Europe's monarchs tussle with pretenders to their thrones, and ordinary people steer between allegiances to God, nation, and family. Originally published in French as Le trajet d'une rivière, Tregian's Ground was awarded the prestigious Prix des Libraires, which celebrates the best novel pub- lished in the Francophone world each year. It has sold over one hundred and twenty thousand copies across Europe. Anne Cuneo was born in Paris, France, to Italian parents, and raised in Switzerland and in England. She is a writer, filmmaker, and journalist, and holds a degree in literature from the University of Lausanne. Her career spans four decades and fifteen novels, as well as dozens of plays and scripts for the- ater, TV, and radio.

In this winsome cookbook, based on her popular blog of the same name, Emily Wight offers great recipes, ideas, and advice on how to prepare imagina- tive, nutritious, and delectable meals without having to spend a lot of money. Perfect for students, new adults, and others on a budget, it’s a personable guide that adapts the act of cooking to our modern economy. Chapters are divided according to ingredients so that readers can choose their main and build a meal around it. Recipes range from the simple (per- fect scrambled eggs, rice and lentils) to the sublime (orecchiette with white beans and sausage, mustard fried chicken). There are also a number of ethnic- inspired recipes, such as Kimchi pancakes, Salvadoran roast chicken, and pantry kedgeree, reflecting the new interest in global cuisine and the fact that ethnic ingredients are not only easy to find nowadays, but often inexpensive. Also crucial is the avoidance of processed foods and refined sugar wherever possible. Emily also provides helpful information for those with diabetes, in- cluding glycemic indexes where appropriate. For those on a budget, nutrition is often overlooked when it comes to eating, and there is a long- standing re- lationship between diabetes and those who think they can only afford to eat processed or fast foods. With its down- to- earth charm and sage advice, Well Fed, Flat Broke will have you eating like a millionaire without having to spend like one.

Told from the point of view of Tootles, Pan’s best boi, the lost bois call the Neverland squat home, creating their own idea of family, united in their al- legiance to Pan, the boi who cannot be broken, and their refusal to join ranks with Hook and the gentrifying pirates. Like a fever- pitched dream, Lost Boi situ ates a children’s fantasy within a subversive alternative reality, chronicling the lost bois’ search for belonging and purpose, and their struggle against the biggest battle of all: growing up.

Vero and her husband Shane have moved out of the sweet suite above his parents’ garage and found themselves smack in the middle of adulthood— two kids, two cars, two jobs. They are not coping well. In response to their looming domestic breakdown, Vero and Shane get live- in help with their sons, a woman from the Philippines named Ligaya (which means happi- ness); the children call her LiLi. Vero justifies LiLi’s role in their home by insisting that she is part of their family, and she goes to great lengths in order to ease her conscience. But differences persist; Vero grapples with her overextended role as a mother and struggles to keep her marriage passion- ate, while LiLi silently bears the burden of a secret she left behind at home. Between offers readers an intriguing, searing portrait of two women from two different cultures. At the same time, it satirizes contemporary love, mar- riage, and parenthood by exposing the sense of entitlement and superiority at the heart of upper- middle- class North American existence through a ubiqui- tous presence in it: the foreign nanny. Angie Abdou comically and tragically tackles the issue of international nannies by providing a window on mother- hood where it is tangled up with class, career, labor, and desire. Angie Abdou has a PhD in English literature from the University of Calgary and teaches English and creative writing at the College of the Rockies in Cranbrook, British Columbia. Her first novel, The Bone Cage (NeWest Press), was a finalist in CBC’s Canada Reads competition.

Michael V. Smith is a multi- hyphenate force of nature: a novelist, poet, im- prov comic, filmmaker, drag queen, performance artist, and occasional clown. In this, his first work of nonfiction, Michael traces his early years as an inade- quate male— a fey kid growing up in a small town amid a blue- collar family; a sissy; an insecure teenager desperate to disappear; and an obsessive writer- performer, drawn to compulsions of alcohol, sex, reading, spending, work, and art as many means to cope and heal. Drawing on his work as an artist whose work focuses on our preconceived notions about the body, this disarming and intriguing memoir questions what it means to be human. Michael asks: How can we know what a man is? How might understanding gender as metaphor be a tool for a deeper under- standing of identity? In coming to terms with his past failures at masculinity, Michael offers a new way of thinking about breaking out of gender norms, and breaking free of a hurtful past. Michael V. Smith won the inaugural Dayne Ogilvie Prize for Emerging LGBT Writers from the Writers Trust of Canada for his first novel, Cumberland. He’s since published two poetry books and a second novel, Progress. He teaches crea- tive writing in the faculty of creative and critical studies at University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus.

Reading the book, I recalled the dramatic natural landscape of Jack London and the wild untamed seas of William Golding.” — John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and A History of Loneliness “A remarkable achievement, a stylish novel, full of music and quiet control.” — Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin and Transatlantic “Cormac James’ writing is very assured, with a harsh poetic edge. His evoca- tions of barren landscape, sea weather, pack ice, and frozen skies are power- ful and compelling.”— Rose Tremain, author of Music & Silence and Merivel: A Man of His Time Far from civilization, on the hunt for Sir John Franklin’s recently lost North- west Passage expedition, Lieutenant Morgan and his crew find themselves trapped in ever- hardening Arctic ice that threatens to break apart their ship. When Morgan realizes that a stowaway will give birth to his child in the frozen wilderness, he finds new clarity and courage to lead his men across a bleak ex- panse as shifting, stubborn, and treacherous as human nature itself. In vivid and pristine prose, Cormac James holds the reader in a vice grip of tension as he brings his subtly drawn characters to the brink of disaster. A harrowing tale of psychological fortitude against impossible odds, The Surfacing is also a beautifully told story of one man’s transformative journey toward fatherhood.

Beneath their clarity are layers of cultural and literary references, profound questions about loyalty, race, the possibility of social progress, and the nature of truth.”— Shelf Awareness In this panoramic tale of Manifest Destiny, Stephen Moran comes of age with the young country that he crosses on the Union Pacific, just as the railroad unites the continent. He is propelled westward through a series of incredible adventures, from the killing fields of the Civil War— as bugler for President Lincoln on his funeral train, parlor- car steward, and apprentice to the great frontier photographer William Henry Jackson— to the Battle of Little Big Horn, where he stalks General George Custer. When he comes face- to- face with Crazy Horse, his life will be spared but his dreams haunted for the rest of his days. By turns elegiac and comic, American Meteor is a novel of adventure, ideas, and mourning: a unique vision of America’s fabulous and murderous history. Norman Lock is the author of Love Among the Particles, a Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year, and The Boy in His Winter, a re- envisioning of Mark Twain’s classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which Scott Simon of NPR’s Morning Edition hailed for “[making] Huck and Jim so real you expect to get messages from them on your iPhone.” Lock lives in Aberdeen, New Jersey.

Whether describing the deeply interior imaginative life required to write fiction, searching for the lost legacy of American lit- erature as embodied by Walt Whitman, being embedded with a young female GI in Afghanistan, traveling with Ethiopian tribes, or revealing the heart- rending story of her informally adopted son William, a former Sudanese child slave, this is non fiction vividly engaged with the world. In these fifteen essays, Pritchard shares her passion for writing and storytelling that educates, hon- ors, and inspires. A Solemn Pleasure is the inaugural title in Bellevue Literary Press’ The Art of the Essay series, featuring creative and insightful nonfiction from authors who have made significant contributions in fiction. Melissa Pritchard is the author of, most recently, the novel Palmerino and the short story collection The Odditorium. Her books have received the Flannery O’Connor, Janet Heidinger Kafka, and Carl Sandburg awards, and two of her short fiction collections were New York Times Notable Book and Editors’ Choice selections. Pritchard has worked as a journalist in Afghanistan, India, and Ethiopia, and her nonfiction has appeared in various publications, including O, The Oprah Magazine; Arrive; Chicago Tribune; and the Wilson Quarterly.

They are gripping tales, but what is startling is the quality of the writing. Every sentence is both un- predictable and exactly what it should be.”— A.S. Byatt, The Guardian “Rich and allusive and unashamedly moving.”— The Independent “Spellbinding.”— The Irish Times “An uneasy blend of the exquisite and the everyday . . . the beatific, the or- dinary, the rebarbative even, are almost indistinguishable . . . intelligent and well-turned.”—The Times Literary Supplement “Perhaps the finest of contemporary writers in this form.”— The Reader The first American publication by one of the greatest living fiction masters, In Another Country spans David Constantine’s remarkable thirty- year career. Known for their pristine emotional clarity, their spare but intensely evocative dialogue, and their fearless exposures of the heart in moments of defiance, change, resistance, flight, isolation, and redemption, these stories demon- strate again and again Constantine’s timeless and enduring appeal. David Constantine is an award- winning short story writer, poet, and trans- lator. His collections of poetry include The Pelt of Wasps, Something for the Ghosts (shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Prize), Nine Fathom Deep, and Elder.

What does it mean to be an African writer today? How do writers and poets from all continents teach us to cross the sertão, the savannah, the barren places where we’re forced to walk within ourselves? Bringing to- gether the best pieces from his previously untranslated nonfiction collections, alongside new material presented here for the first time in any language, Pensativities offers English readers a taste of Mia Couto as essayist, lecturer, and journalist— with essays on cosmopolitanism, poverty, culture gaps, conserva- tion, and more. Mia Couto, an environmental biologist from Mozambique, is the author of twenty-five books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. His work has been trans- lated into twenty languages worldwide. In 2007 he was the first African au- thor to win the Latin Union Award for Romance Languages, in 2013 he was awarded the €100,000 Camões Prize for Literature, and in 2014 he received World Literature Today’s $50,000 Neustadt Prize for Literature.

Author of Jaws Peter Benchley and film director Steven Spielberg certainly did, for below the waves lies a world we neither see nor understand; an alien world where we are but the briefest of visitors. The Shark That Walks on Land uncovers tales of ancient and modern mari- ners, with stories of sea serpents, mermaids and mermen, sea dragons, and the true identity of the legendary kraken. But this book contains more than just a medley of maritime myths and mysteries for marine biologists; it cele- brates wonderful discoveries by blending the unknown and the familiar in an entertaining miscellany of facts, figures, and anecdotes about the myriad creatures that inhabit the oceans. Along the way we meet the giants, the most dangerous, the oddballs, and the record breakers— and the shark that really does walk on land!

In this “unleashed love song” to her late grandmother, Nickole Brown brings her brassy, bawdy, tough- as- new- rope grandmother to life. With hair teased to Jesus, glued- on false eyelashes, and a white Cadillac Eldorado with atomic- red leather seats, Fanny isn’t your typical granny in a rocking chair. Instead, think of a character that looks a lot like Eva Gabor in Green Acres, but tinted with a shadow of Sylvia Plath. From “Go Put on Your Face”: is what she said, and what she meant was a little somethin- somethin, a little dunka- dunk, a little mascara and blush, gloss and perfume, and best conceal that stork bite, that hot V that flared between my brows, that red check pointing down to my pink gum- flavored gum, chewed and blown and popped with a flirt, me pulling it to string and twirling it with the tip, just like a dumb blonde should. A cross- genre collection that reads like a novel, this hilarious and often wrenching book is both a collection of oral history pieces and poems that deal with the complexities of the South, including poverty, racism, and domes- tic violence. Nickole Brown grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, and Deerfield Beach, Florida. She got her MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, studied litera- ture at Oxford University, and was editorial assistant for the late Hunter S. Thompson. Her first collection, Sister, was published in 2007. She is editor for the Marie Alexander Series in Prose Poetry at White Pine Press and teaches at the University of Arkansas–Little Rock.

The poems in Smugglers move through rapid historical shifts and meditations on personal experience, exploring the depths and limits of comprehension through the people and geography of the Balkans. Ultimately, Aleš Debeljak’s urban imagination creates a mosaic— intimate and historical— of a vanished people and their country. Every poem in Smugglers is sixteen lines long— four quatrains, a common form for Debeljak. This structural regularity is re- inforced by a commitment to visual balance, with each poem working as a kind of grid into which the poet pours memories and associative riffs. From “Bookstore”: At least you are blessed. Winter’s here.

Red Dirt is the first- person story of Jaxie Skinner, an unlikely professional ten- nis player from a blue- collar family in the sticks of rural Georgia who takes up the game at the age of three when his father scrapes a court out of the red clay behind their farmhouse. He is a natural, rising to the top of junior ten- nis, and at eighteen has great success at the French Open. He falls as quickly as he rose, however, when his father dies of a heart attack and Jaxie suffers a knee injury on a slick practice court at Wimbledon. He quits the game for sev- eral years, and then mounts a comeback, struggling for almost a decade in the un glamorous, low- paying minor leagues of tennis, often living out of his van. He eventually fights his way back up the ranks, reaching the semifinals of the US Open at the age of thirty- eight. This is a story of father and son, of a colorful coach, and of several tem- pestuous relationships— including a sexy Russian player who contributes to his early downfall. Jaxie matures as he grows into his thirties, and he finally finds peace with his place in the world. A fascinating study of tennis, its demands and tactics, as well as a look at the insular and often selfish character required to reach the pinnacle of the sport.

The Golden Age of Sail is long past, and much of its lore is nearly extinct. Sailboats now almost uniformly use the Bermudan sloop rig— a triangular jib and a triangu- lar mainsail.

This book lets sailors rediscover the practi- cal advantages— and aesthetic delights— of the sprit sail, the gaff sail, the lug sail, and the gunter rig.

Seattle’s Gang of Four changed the face of the city in the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s by bringing four ethnic groups together in battle against city powerbrokers over development, poverty, fishing rights, and gentrification. The four lead- ers learned quickly that working together provided greater results than work- ing apart. This is a story of powerful political alliance and lifelong friendships forged through sit- ins, protest rallies, and other acts of civil disobedience. “We got very good at occupying buildings,” remarked one of the Gang. Bob Santos and Gary Iwamoto recall how a Native American, Asian American, African American, and Mexican American came together to fight for their neighborhoods and their people.

The seventeen stories in this debut collection by Juyanne James interpret the Louisiana experience. They stage encounters mostly with strong women— but also interesting men and families— all trying to survive in their own way. While this collection is as an evolution of the idea of “double- consciousness” and how African Americans see themselves in the world, the characters are remarkable in their own right, without having to be labeled. They are not so much concerned with color as they are with survival. The collection opens with “You Don’t Know Me, Child”: a young bus rider grows fascinated with a female passenger who carries pictures in her hair, and the rider imagines the woman’s past. The fractured “Bayou Buoys” is about a mother whose two boys are missing on the bayou. “Doll” is about early twentieth- century life— when black teachers were brought into small towns in the South to teach— and what happens when a field hand falls in love with a teacher. James has written a thoroughly eclectic, lyrical collection of stories that speaks to the African American tradition, depicting life in New Orleans and rural Louisiana. Juyanne James grew up on a farm in southeast Louisiana; she left at seventeen to join the US Navy. After holding a number of odd jobs (such as over- the- road truck driver), she returned to Louisiana to write and teach. Her fiction has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

Frank Delgado is no thief. He co- owns a failing Cuban restaurant in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The restaurant, like Frank, is rudderless. Lost. He decides he’ll save the restaurant by traveling to Cuba to steal the legend- ary chicken recipe from the famed El Ajillo restaurant in Havana. The recipe is a state secret, so prized that no cook knows the whole recipe. But Frank’s rationale is ironclad— Fidel stole the secret from his family, so Frank will steal it back. He will triumphantly bring that recipe back to Manhattan and turn his fortunes around. Frank has no interest in Cuba. His parents fled after the Revolution. His dead father spent his life erasing all traces of Cuba from his heart with barbeques, television, lawn mowing, and alcohol. So Frank is not prepared for the real Cuba. Sure, he gets beat up and almost killed, the secret service threatens him, but in the midst of the chaos, he falls in love with a prostitute and the city, and he unwraps the heroic story of his parents’ life. Cuba begins to bind Frank together, the way a good sofrito binds the flavors of a Cuban dish.

First in the series was Pictures of the Gone World— the only book of his own poems that Ferlinghetti would ever publish at City Lights. Within a year, he had brought out two more volumes: translations by Kenneth Rexroth and poems by Kenneth Patchen. But it was the success and scandal of number four, Howl & Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg (1956), that put City Lights on the map, po- sitioning the Pocket Poets Series at the forefront of the literary counterculture. A landmark sixtieth-anniversary retrospective, this edition is a must- have collection, an invaluable distillation of the energetic, iconoclastic, and still fresh body of work represented in the ongoing series. Ferlinghetti has selected three poems from each of the sixty volumes, including the work of Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Andrei Voznesensky, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Julio Cortázar, Frank O’Hara, Marie Ponsot, Denise Levertov, Diane di Prima, Robert Duncan, Philip Lamantia, Malcolm Lowry, and many more of the Pocket Poets Series’ innovative, influential, and often groundbreaking American and international poets. Ferlinghetti provides a fresh introduction that looks back at the inspiration for the series, why certain poets were included, and the ones that got away. His behind- the- scenes, personal anecdotes provide priceless insights that shed new light on his vision and his editorial practices at a time when the Pocket Poets Series was shaping the contours of poetry’s avant- garde. City Lights Pocket Poets Anthology 60th Anniversary Edition Edited by Lawrence Ferlinghetti 86 City Lights Publishers City Lights Publishers Drawing inspiration from Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle and a wide range of other free thinkers and intellectuals, Brad Evans and Henry A. Giroux ana- lyze how today’s dominant economic system— neoliberalism— uses consumer- ism, privatization, and mass media to neutralize and control the public’s participation in its own affairs. The consequence, they argue, is a “mode of existence that encourages us all to become voyeurs of suffering, while deny- ing us the ability of connecting subjugation and willful oppression to wider systemic forces.” Brimming with ideas and insights, Disposable Futures offers a sweeping, big- picture critique of consumption- driven society and how state and corporate power use and abuse violence to redefine citizenship, national security, and economics in order to enrich the few. From movies and entertainment to ex- treme weather and acts of terror, Evans and Giroux take readers on a fascinat- ing exploration of politics, culture, and power to expose how the production of spectacle shapes and controls social realities while diminishing meaningful civic life and community. Centered on the power of public education, Evans’s and Giroux’s critique is rooted in a deep sense of hope in humanity and the emancipatory possi- bilities for dignified and nonviolent forms of living, learning, and resisting. Brad Evans and Henry A. Giroux are internationally renowned educators, au- thors, and intellectuals. Together, they curate a forum for Truthout.com that explores the theme of “Disposable Futures.” Evans is director of the Histories of Violence Project at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom. Giroux holds the global TV network chair professorship at McMaster University.

The Bell Tolls for No One is a book of previously uncollected short fiction by every- one’s favorite dirty old man, Charles Bukowski. Beginning with the illus- trated, unpublished 1947 story, “A Kind, Understanding Face,” continuing through his famous underground newspaper column, “Notes of a Dirty Old Man,” and concluding with his hardboiled contributions to 1980s glossy adult magazines, The Bells Tolls for No One encompasses the entire range of Bukowski’s talent as a short story writer, from straight- up genre stories to postmodern blurring of fact and fiction. Designed not only for Bukowski fans, but also for readers new to his work, the book contains an informative introduction by editor David Stephen Calonne that provides historical context for these seem- ingly scandalous and chaotic tales, revealing the hidden hand of the master at the top of his form. Also included are several of Bukowski’s own illustrations. Born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, California, Charles Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty- four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty- five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he would eventually publish more than forty- five books of poetry and prose. He died of leukemia in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994. David Stephen Calonne has edited three previous books of uncollected prose by Charles Bukowski for City Lights Publishers. He is the author of several books, including the critical study Charles Bukowski, and the editor of Charles Bukowski: Sunlight Here I Am/Interviews and Encounters 1963-1993.

In 1969, Allen Ginsberg wrote to his friend, fellow poet, and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti, “Alas, telephone destroys letters!” Fortunately, how- ever, by then the two had already exchanged a treasure trove of personal cor- respondence, and more than any other documents, their letters— intimate, opinionated, and action- packed— reveal the true nature of their lifelong friendship and creative relationship. Collected here for the first time, they offer an intimate view into the range of artistic vision and complementary sensibilities that fueled the genius of their literary collaborations. Ferlinghetti and Ginsberg were two of the twentieth century’s most in- fluential literary rebels, and their correspondence documents a time when both were rising to the peak of their notoriety and international fame, travel- ing, writing, publishing, and performing their poetry during a period of un- prece dented social and cultural experimentation and upheaval. Ferlinghetti was Ginsberg’s publisher and editor, and the correspondence begins with a telegram from Lawrence after hearing Allen’s legendary reading of “Howl” at the Six Gallery: “I greet you at the beginning of a great career. When do I get the manuscript?” The majority of the letters collected here have never before been pub- lished, and they span the period from 1955 until Ginsberg’s death in 1997. Facsimiles and photographs enhance the collection, an evocative portrait of an inspiring and enduring relationship. Lawrence Ferlinghetti is an internationally renowned poet, painter, pub- lisher, and founder of City Lights Books. Allen Ginsberg was a leading member of the Beat Generation and an award- winning poet best known as the author of Howl & Other Poems, among many other works.

In these days of growing inequality it is his rebel vision I turn to for hope and for strength. A towering poet, absolutely peerless, explosively tal- ented, a pioneer, and iconoclast, and activist, to whom the entire spoken word movement owes a debt beyond calculation.”— Junot Díaz “One of the great American poets of the twentieth century, a leader of the Nuyorican poetry movement that ignited at Miguel Algarín’s Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe. Perhaps the most progressive and at the same time funniest poet of the period.”— Amiri Baraka Pedro Pietri’s often playfully absurd poems chronicle the joys and struggles of Nuyoricans— urban Puerto Ricans whose lives straddle the islands of Puerto Rico and Manhattan— and define the Latino experience in urban America. By turns angry, heartbreaking, and hopeful, his writings are imbued with a sense of pride and nationalism and were embraced by the generation of Latino poets that followed him. Pedro Pietri: Selected Poetry gathers the most enduring and trea- sured work among his published books, Puerto Rican Obituary, Traffic Violations, and Out of Order, along with a generous selection of previously unpublished works. Pedro Pietri (1944–2004) was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and raised in Manhattan. In the early 1970s he co- founded the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Juan Flores is a professor and director of Latino studies at New York University. Pedro López Adorno is a professor in the department of Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino studies of Hunter College.

In 1809, at the age of eighteen, Henriette Faber enrolled herself in medical school in Paris— and since medicine was a profession prohibited to women, she changed her name to Henri in order to matriculate. She would spend the next fifteen years practicing medicine and living as a man. Drafted to serve as a surgeon in Napoleon’s army, Faber endured the hor- rors of the 1812 retreat across Russia. She later embarked to the Caribbean and set up a medical practice in a remote Cuban village, where she married Juana de León, an impoverished local. Three years into their marriage, de León turned Faber in to the authorities, demanding that the marriage be an- nulled. A sensational legal trial ensued, and Faber was stripped of her medi cal license, forced to dress as a woman, sentenced to prison, and ultimately sent into exile. She was last seen on a boat headed to New Orleans in 1827. In this, his last published work, Antonio Benítez-Rojo takes the outline provided by historical events and weaves a richly detailed backdrop for Faber, who becomes a vivid and complex figure grappling with the strictures of her time. Woman in Battle Dress is a sweeping, ambitious epic, in which Henriette Faber tells the story of her life, a compelling, entertaining, and ultimately tri- umphant tale. Antonio Benítez-Rojo (1931–2005) is widely regarded as the most signifi- cant Cuban author of his generation. He is the author of Sea of Lentils and The Repeating Island, among other works.

Like all children’s A–Z books, this one illustrates the alphabet— but instead of “A is for Apple,” A is for Angela— as in Angela Davis, the iconic political activist. B is for Billie Jean King, who shattered the glass ceiling of sports; C is for Carol Burnett, who defied assumptions about women in comedy; D is for Dolores Huerta, who organized farmworkers; and E is for Ella Baker, who mentored Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and helped shape the Civil Rights movement. And the list keeps getting better, spanning several centuries, multiple pro- fessions, and twenty- six diverse women. Each letter introduces us to a woman and her story, except for X, which stands for all the women whose names we don’t yet— and might not ever— know. There are artists and abolitionists, sci- entists and suffragettes, rock stars and rabble- rousers, and agents of change of all kinds— over half of whom are women of color, and many are queer or transgender. This accessible, inspiring, well- researched text is accompanied by gorgeous paper- cut portraits: artwork rooted in an aesthetic history of politically charged woodcuts and prints. American history was made by countless phenomenal women. By offering a diverse and fresh array of female role models, we can remind readers that there are many places to find inspiration, and that being smart and strong and brave is rad. The book includes an introduction that discusses what it means to be “rad” and “radical,” a glossary of terms, a bibliography for further read- ing, and a resource guide for parents and teachers.

For forty years, RM Vaughan has been fighting, and failing, to get his forty winks each night. He’s not alone, not by any stretch. More and more studies highlight the health risks of undersleeping, yet we have never been asked to do more, and for longer. And we can’t stop thinking that a lack of sleep is heroic: snoozing is a kind of laziness, after all. But why, when we know more about the value of sleep, are we obsessed with twenty- four- hour workdays and deliberate sleep deprivation? Working outward from his own experience, Vaughan explores this insom- nia culture we’ve created, predicting a cultural collision— will we soon have to legislate rest, as France has done?— and wondering about the cause- and- effect model of our shorter attention spans. Does the fact that we are almost uni- versally underslept change how our world works? We know it’s an issue with, say, pilots and truck drivers, but what about artists— does an insomnia culture change creativity? And what are the long- term cultural consequences of this increasing sacrifice for the ever- elusive goal of “total productivity”? RM Vaughan is the author of nine books and many short video works. He contributes essays on culture and society to numerous publications and his video works play in galleries and festivals around the world.

You’ll never see Fido the same way. Somewhere around midnight, Rosie, an Alsatian, stopped licking herself and wondered how long she would be in the place she found herself. She then wondered what had happened to the last litter she’d whelped. It suddenly seemed grossly unfair that one should go through the trouble of having pups only to lose track of them. One summer night in Toronto, Hermes and Apollo make a drunken bet about the possibility of human happiness. And so they grant human consciousness to a group of dogs overnighting at a veterinary clinic. Having suddenly been given more complex thought, the pack is soon torn between those who re- sist language, preferring their old “dog” ways, and those who embrace it. The gods watch from above as some of the dogs turn violently on one another until only three are left: wily Benjy moves from home to home, intelligent Majnoun finds a surprisingly human relationship with a kind couple, and Prince becomes a poet. For Hermes to win, one of the dogs must be happy at his death. An utterly convincing and moving look at the beauty and perils of consciousness.

Everything was about to change. In less than forty- eight hours guy’d be taking the stage in Vancouver, owning an audience meant for some all- hype- no- talent young- money rapper, spitting next- level truths that’d have A&Rs scrapping for him coast to coast. He’d ink some paper and drop an album on the world it didn’t even know it had been waiting for. All with game and swag to spare. This was the edge, the almost there, and we knew it. Chinksta rap is all the rage in small- town Alberta. And the king of Chinksta is King Kwong, high- schooler Run’s older brother. Run isn’t a fan of Kwong’s music— or personality, really. But when Kwong goes missing the night before his crowning performance and his mom gets wounded in crossfire, Run finds himself, with his sidekick, Ali, in the middle of a violent battle between rival Chinese rap gangs, on the run from his crush’s behemoth brother, and rethinking his feelings about his family and their history, his hatred of “rice- rap,” and what it means to be Asian. With imaginAsian and a flair for the rap lyric, Jon Chan Simpson mashes up the (graphicless) graphic novel and the second- generation- immigrant narrative to forge a bold new vision of what the novel can be. Jon Chan Simpson grew up in Red Deer, Alberta, and lives in Toronto, Ontario. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto’s MA creative writing program, and his work has been featured in Ricepaper magazine.

Deemed a “slum,” the area was crammed with derelict housing and “ethnic” businesses; it was razed in the 1950s to make way for a grand civic plaza and modern city hall. Archival photographs and contributions from fifty voices, from academic to anecdotal, finally tell the story of this complex neighborhood and the lessons it offers about immigration and poverty in big cities.

Profound, powerful, and utterly absorbing.”— The Guardian “It is a book about the essentials: life and death, cruelty and compassion. It is a book that will get in your bones, and haunt you.”— Daily Telegraph “Cynan Jones’s fourth novel, The Dig, is an extraordinarily powerful work— not in spite of its brevity but because of it. . . . In its marriage of profound lyri- cism and feeling for place, deep human compassion and unflinching savagery, this brief and beautiful novel is utterly unique.”— Financial Times Built of the interlocking fates of a badger- baiter and a farmer struggling through lambing season, The Dig unfolds in a stark rural setting where man, animal, and land are at loggerheads. There is no bucolic pastoral here: this is pure, pared- down rural realism, crackling with compressed energy, from a writer of uncommon gifts. Cynan Jones was born near Aberaeron, Wales, in 1975. He is the author of three novels, The Long Dry (winner of a Betty Trask Award, 2007), Everything I Found on the Beach (2011), and The Dig (2014), winner of the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize. He is also the author of Bird, Blood, Snow (2012), the retelling of a medieval Welsh myth. The Dig is his first novel published in the United States.

On a slab that’s all Katrina left of her Mississippi home, Tiger tells her story, and it is as American as Horatio Alger, Schwab’s Pharmacy, and a tent re- vival. She was a stripper, but is she now a performance artist and best- selling author, and it is really Barbara Walters she’s narrating this tale to? We’re too dazzled to know more than that this is about how a girl ends up in the back- wash of decadence and sin and how out of the flotsam and jetsam she might construct a story of herself and the South to carry her to salvation. Serial killers, preachers, and prison flower- arranging classes. Bikers, bad boyfriends, and a stripper who performed as a Trans Am.

I know of nothing like it.”— Howard Zinn First published in 1965, Genoa is Paul Metcalf’s purging of the burden of his relationship to his great- grandfather Herman Melville. In his signature poly- phonic style, a storm- tossed Indiana attic becomes the site of a reckoning with the life of Melville; with Columbus, and his myth; and between two brothers— one, an MD who refuses to practice; the other, an executed murderer. Genoa is a triumph, a novel without peer, that vibrates and sings a quintessentially American song. Paul Metcalf (1917–99) was an American writer and the great- grandson of Herman Melville. His three volume Collected Works were published by Coffee House Press in 1996.

Have you lost the will to live, or the will to live as human? Castaways in unmapped terrain, the characters in The Hope of Floating Has Carried Us This Far burrow underground in tunnels made by ancient nau- tiluses.

At the beginning of the sixties, I crisscrossed Italy from north to south, stay- ing each time for three weeks, returning to Paris, developing and examining the images, and then leaving again for another region. . . . The sociability and freedom of the street, the piazza, the festival, are all gone. Everything is more hidden, to be discovered, but our counterparts are still capable of expressing a certain vitality, and this people that no longer knows whether it can define itself as such, gets about nevertheless, encounters, seeks, reacts. There are few of them, place by place, situation by situation, but as they are to be found everywhere, in the end there are many. And it is on them that should rest once again the opportunity for a new “reconstruction”, a new sociability—if it were only possible to escape the omnipresence of the authorities, the information machine, the prison-obsession of consumerism, the choice-obligation of being consumers rather than citizens, of being spectators rather than actors. This is a sensitive portrait of Italian society in the early sixties by the well- known photographer Bruno Barbey from Magnum Photos. From 1961 to 1964, Barbey spent a lot of time in Italy trying to capture the spirit of the na- tion through his photography. Includes an introduction by Goffredo Fofi.

The Suspense project is the visual mani- festo of the new “lost’’ generation of young people who, at the turn of the cen- tury, acquired complete freedom of information and movement as well as the illusion of all- pervasive communication, yet forfeited an integrated system of value judgement and were unexpectedly confronted by complete isolation. Their lives turned into a lonely journey in search of lost self- identification. Any halting point and encounter with reality during this journey became a form of suspense.

This technique becomes a way for the master of the æsthetic of chaos to refresh his approach to the New York borough. “No rules, no limits, no holding back.” Such is his motto. What is important is to capture the exuberance and impertinence of life. For many weeks, the artist wandered the streets, worked days and nights, shot from the window of his car, and roved the beaches of Coney Island and Brighton. With these images, Klein creates a kaleidoscope of Brooklyn.

He was stuck looking at a painting. She stood next to him, looking at his face and then the face in the painting. What do you see? she asked. I don’t know, he said. He didn’t know.

Poetry busts guts.”— Frank Stanford The poetry publishing event of the season, this six- hundred- plus page book highlights the arc of Frank Stanford’s all- too- brief and incandescently bril- liant career. Despite critical praise and near- mythic status as a poet and documentary filmmaker, Frank Stanford’s oeuvre has never fully been unified. The mystery and legend surrounding his life— and his suicide before the age of thirty— has made it nearly impossible to fully and accurately celebrate his body of work. Until now. Introduced by Dean Young, this welcome and necessary volume includes hundreds of previously unpublished poems, a short story, an interview, and is richly illustrated with draft poems, photographs, and ephemera. When It’s After Dark I steal all the light bulbs and hide them like eggs in a basket going to some outlaw I put on the best I can find I cover them with a swatch of something that swells like a bite that bleeds green cloth that smells of a feed store but looks to of been worn I go over to nasty willy’s bridge and throw them into the creek there in the shade I listen for them to make nests to escape agony and burst Frank Stanford was born in Mississippi and worked as an unlicensed land surveyor. He published poetry, short fiction, and the epic fifteen-thousand- line poem The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You. In June 1978, he died of self- inflicted gunshot wounds.

What About This The Collected Poems of Frank Stanford Frank Stanford Introduction by Dean Young 116 Copper Canyon Press Copper Canyon Press “Jean Valentine has a gift for tough strangeness, but also a dreamlike syntax and manner of arranging the lines of . . . short poems so as to draw us into the doubleness and fluency of feelings.”— The New York Times Book Review Quietly marked by elegy and memory, National Book Award winner Jean Valentine’s thirteenth book is empowered by her signature clear music and compassion. Valentine leads us chronologically from childhood drawings and wartime memories to the present, where she addresses aging and the loss of loved ones. These poems of tender grace reflect on the small histories few ever fully see. From “Shirt in Heaven”: Come upon a snapshot of secret you, smiling like FDR, leaning on your crutches— come upon letters I thought I’d burned— I suppose you’ve got a place with lots of stairs. I’m at the end of something, you’re at the beginning . . . — dearest, they told me a surgeon sat down in the hospital morgue, next to your body, & cried. He yelled at the aide to get out. His two sons had been your students. — me too, little- knowing— Jean Valentine is the current State Poet of New York and author of twelve books of poetry, including Door in the Mountain, which won the National Book Award. She has taught at Sarah Lawrence College, New York University, and Columbia University, and lives in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of New York City.

From a high- security prison in Arizona to a West Point classroom to a slum in Haiti, Brown’s poems share the perspectives of inmates, cadets, and survivors. Brown’s voice is in- trospective and compassionate as he addresses both the “news from home” and natural disasters that cause large- scale suffering. In Brown’s own words, poetry is an “accounting of what it means to be alive in this world,” and his work unites the “often disconnected worlds of news and poetry.” Headlines 1 “Bomb Explodes in a Crowded Market” Winds blow, my friends are scattered “Dow Falls on Jobs Numbers” I add and add and it doesn’t add up “President to Address the Nation” I seek a way out, a way in—away “White Smoke: Habemus Papam” I turned for a moment—where did she go? “U.S. Demands End to Cyber Attacks” I’ve forgotten every book I’ve read “Detroit: Crisis Born of Bad Decisions” This is the life I choose now Jeffrey Brown is the chief correspondent for arts, culture, and society at PBS NewsHour.

The “u” in textu echoes the one in haiku, and also emphasizes the intimate you. A textu poem has a single rule: be ex- actly 160 characters long. As theme, form, and style are wide opened, a textu reveals new possibilities and poetry in unexpected ways.

Her taut, elegant, highly controlled constructions meditate upon yearning and selfhood.”— Booklist Deborah Landau’s The Uses of the Body presents the very specific challenges of woman hood. Her poems address what it means to be alive— right now— in a female body. She fills her poetry with compelling nouns: wine glasses, bridal gowns, and “books and teacups and ghosts.” And what ghosts: underneath evocative images and poetic play, there’s a moving, yearning mysticism. From “Mr and Mrs End of Suffering”: The uses of the body are wake up. The uses of the body, illusion. The uses of the body. Rinse repeat. To make another body. September. Draw the blanket up. Lace your shoes. The major and minor passions. Sunlight. Hair. The basic pleasures. Tomatoes, Keats, meeting a smart man for a drink. The uses of the body. It is only a small house. It gets older. Deborah Landau is the author of two books of poetry. She was educated at Stanford, Columbia, and Brown, where she earned her PhD.

Strangeness becomes a parable for com- passion, each poem leading the reader to an uncommon way of understand- ing human capacities. In the futuristic sphere of The Quotations of Bone, the mind wanders meditatively into an imaginative and uncontainable history. From “The Quotations of Bone”: The meal of bone was a soured milk— just the heads of giant elk in a dark circle looking down on a wooden bowl of soda crackers and pork. One large knife resting in the meat of a woodsman’s calloused hand. He grins at his woman who is slowly poisoning him with the stringy resins of morning glory. A tasteless turpentine with pink pig. The speeches of bone are matrimonial in early autumn— by January there’s a froth of blood at a nostril . . . Norman Dubie is a Regents professor at Arizona State University.

Strongly influenced by Surrealism, Young’s poems flash with extravagant imagery, humorous speech, sly views of the quotidian, mercurial hip- shake shifts, and exposed nerves of heartache. From “Commencement Address”: . . . Someone has to come out the other end of the labyrinth saying, What’s the big deal? Someone has to spend all day staring at the data from outer space or separating the receipts or changing the sheets in sour room after room.

He has been a figure in the Chicago art scene for decades: a renowned collage artist, a poet and author, a former radio host, an actor, and a playwright.” — The Huffington Post Featuring a foreword by Steve Earle, the sixty essays and corresponding full- color artwork in Tony Fitzpatrick’s Dime Stories celebrate a life spent passion- ately devouring stories. Originally published in Chicago’s Newcity magazine, Tony Fitzpatrick covers bird watching, tattoos, politics, and creating museum- collected art in the controversial style his longtime fans have come to expect. Tony Fitzpatrick is a Chicago- based artist best known for his multimedia col- lages, printmaking, paintings, and drawings. Fitzpatrick’s works are inspired by Chicago street culture, cities he has traveled to, children’s books, tattoo designs, and folk art.

From a young age CeCe copes with her mother’s crippling depression, their severe poverty, an absentee father, and her own insecurities. With gorgeous language, a vivid cast of characters, and an eye for poignant detail, Dasha Kelly tells the story of CeCe’s struggle to break free from the grips of codependency and poverty to find confidence and success in her career and her personal life, finally becoming the strong woman she’s always dreamed of being. CeCe couldn’t remember when her mother became too weak to carry anything but tears. When the Sad started to come, pressing her mother to their bed, her Mama cried slick silent tears for a long, long time. Longer than a game of hopscotch. Longer than singing the alphabet in her head five times. Longer than a nap, even. The Sad made her mother cry all the time.

The importance of reading world literature is at the heart of Deep Vellum’s mission: we watch the news to understand what’s happening in the world; we read translated literature to understand how the world thinks and feels. Cultures communicate with each other through their literatures, and Deep Vellum was established to broaden cultural connections across the English- reading world by connecting readers with international authors in new and creative ways. Diversity— of authors’ genders, countries, languages, continents, viewpoints, sexual orientation, styles of literature— is one of the most unique aspects of our books that will resonate with readers. Our first year alone includes prominent authors who have been published in English before (Carmen Boullosa, Mikhail Shishkin, Jón Gnarr); renowned authors who have won prestigious prizes appearing in English for the first time (Sergio Pitol, Anne Garréta); and an award-winning debut author from a marginalized culture (Alisa Ganieva of Dagestan, Russia). Design is of the utmost importance to us— readers’ eyes will immediately be drawn to the distinctive beauty of Deep Vellum book covers and spines. The first three seasons’ titles feature striking cover art and beautiful layouts in a linked thematic series designed by Anna Zylicz, a renowned American graphic designer who lives in Brescia, Italy. We could not be more excited to be a part of the Consortium family. We look forward to working together to connect Deep Vellum’s remarkable authors with readers.

Sphinx is the sensational debut novel, originally published in 1986, by the in- credibly talented and inventive French author Anne Garréta, one of the few female members of Oulipo, the influential and exclusive French experimen- tal literary group whose mission is to create literature based on mathemati- cal and linguistic restraints, and whose ranks include Georges Perec and Italo Calvino, among others. A beautiful and complex love story between a narrator, “I,” and a lover, A***, written without any gender markers to refer to the main characters, Sphinx is a remarkable linguistic feat and paragon of experimental literature that has never been accomplished before or since in the strictly gendered French language. Sphinx is a landmark text in the feminist and LGBT literary canon, and it now appears in English for the first time ever. Anne Garréta (b. 1962) is a lecturer at the University of Rennes II and re- search professor of literature and Romance studies at Duke University. She joined the Oulipo in 2000, becoming the first member born after the Oulipo was founded in 1960. Garréta won France’s prestigious Prix Médicis in 2002, awarded each year to an author whose “fame does not yet match their talent,” for her novel Pas un jour. Emma Ramadan is a graduate of Brown University and received her master’s in literary translation from the American University of Paris. Her translation of Anne Parian’s Monospace is forthcoming from La Presse. She is currently on a Fulbright Fellowship for literary translation in Morocco.

Diagnosed as “retarded” because of his severe dyslexia and ADHD, Gnarr spent time in a children’s mental institution. Upon release, Gnarr found himself subjected to con- stant bullying, leading him to lash out against the world, identifying with the Indians against bully cowboys on TV. The Indian is the first book in a trilogy that looks back at Gnarr’s childhood and adolescence, providing an unparalleled coming of age story of an outcast who overcame the odds and matured into a world- renowned comedian, actor, writer, and politician. Each book in the trilogy is told with the warmth and humor that defines Gnarr’s unique personality, allowing readers of all ages to identify with his story. Jón Gnarr was born in 1967 in Reykjavík, Iceland. He formed the Best Party in 2009 and became the mayor of Reykjavík in 2010. The most famous come- dic actor in Iceland, Gnarr’s work includes the movies The Icelandic Dream and A Man Like Me, and the television series The Night Shift, which aired on BBC4. Lytton Smith (b. 1982) is an Anglo- American poet and translator. He has taught at Columbia University, Fordham University, and Plymouth University, and is currently a professor at SUNY–Oneonta. He has translated two other novels from Icelandic: The Ambassador by Bragi Ólafsson (Open Letter, 2010), and A Child in Reindeer Woods by Kristín Ómarsdóttir (Open Letter, 2012).

Schmid, Neue Zürcher Zeitung (Germany) This remarkable debut novel by a unique young Russian voice portrays the noxious effects of political intolerance and religious violence in the lives of people forced to choose between evils. The Russian Wall focuses on Shamil, a young local reporter in Makhachkala, the capital of Russia’s restive province of Dagestan, and his reactions, or lack thereof, to rumors that the Russian government is building a wall to cut off the Muslim provinces of the Caucasus from the rest of Russia. As unrest spreads and the tension builds, Shamil’s life is turned upside down, and he can no longer afford to ignore the violence surrounding him. With a fine sense for mounting catastrophe, Alisa Ganieva tells the story of the decline of a society torn apart by its inherent extremes. Alisa Ganieva, born in 1985, grew up in Makhachkala, Dagestan. Her liter- ary debut, the novella Salaam, Dalgat!, won the prestigious Debut Prize in 2009. Shortlisted for all of Russia’s major literary awards, The Russian Wall is her first novel, and has already been translated into several languages. An alumna of the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program, Ganieva lives in Moscow, where she works as a journalist and literary critic. Carol Apollonio is a professor of Slavic and Eurasian studies at Duke University. Her most recent translations include German Sadulaev’s The Maya Pill (Dalkey Archive, 2014) and new versions of Anton Chekhov stories.

Based on the little-known 1859 Mexican invasion of the United States, Texas is a richly imagined evocation of the volatile Texas–Mexico borderland. Shedding important historical light on current battles over the Mexican- American frontier while telling a gripping story with Boullosa’s singular prose and formal innovation, Texas marks the welcome return of a major writer who has previously captivated American audiences and is poised to do so again.

This is a book of journeys, but it is not a guidebook. Cannot Stay doesn’t merely describe traveling to Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. It delves into why we leave our front porch in the first place. These twelve essays take us from Bali to the Baltics, from Corsica to Cambodia. But more importantly, they speak to the experience of travel, to what it means to shake loose your identity and hump all you need in a worn daypack. Cannot Stay bears witness to how travel reawakens us to the world by revealing the strange in the familiar and the familiar in the strange. Check in. A subdued line of passengers, everybody waiting their turn. Someone pushes a small bag forward, eyeing with a smirk the woman with the luggage trolley. It’s always so. And yet, even that woman is traveling light, leaving behind far more than she could ever pack into a few suitcases. By necessity, the traveler gives up on things, preferring for a time the experience of going. Kevin Oderman is the author of two expat novels, including Etruscan Press’s White Vespa. Winner of the Bakeless Prize in nonfiction, he has taught as a Fulbright Scholar in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Lahore, Pakistan.

An awareness of the pathology of romantic love, and a terror of what lurks in its absence, lies at the heart of this brutally funny book.”— Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick “Protagonist Ann- Marie wanders through London’s glittery underground of Bright Young Artists, concussed by life itself. Pilger’s love story fictionalizes her contexts so extremely that every adolescent romance— with art, feminism, even that gross dude she had a one night stand with— is only a deceptive form mobilized to assault neutered authority. A masochistic siren song— 100 percent more awesome than The Little Mermaid.”— Trisha Low, author of The Compleat Purge Half- liberated, half- drunk, Ann- Marie is twenty- three, spiraling, and ironi- cally detached when she meets Stephanie, a supremely serious, second wave feminist who becomes her mentor. Hilarious and unapologetic, this novel is a satirical look at the state of the post- post- feminist world and illuminates how— no matter what young women do— they are condemned for their sexual desires, career choices, and everyday philosophies. Zoe Pilger is an art critic for the Independent, winner of the 2011 Frieze International Writers Prize, and is currently working on her PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London. Eat My Heart Out is her first novel and was published in the United Kingdom by Serpent’s Tail to wide acclaim.

But when Zach falls for Cleo, an African American activist grappling with her own inherited trauma, he must reconcile the fam- ily he loves with the woman who might be his soul mate.

Apocalypse Baby is more than a compelling punk, queerish spin on the noir genre. It is a choral performance that tumbles its readers into the heart of violent spectacle, with all its attendant grief, unease, and unclarity.”— Maggie Nelson, author of The Art of Cruelty and professor at the California Institute of the Arts “Virginie Despentes’s social criticism is blistering, but her prose is laid- back. Apocalypse Baby is an addictive feminist thriller that reads like shameless gossip from your smartest friend.”— Johanna Fateman, writer and musician France’s most notorious feminist writer gives us Apocalypse Baby, a raucous road trip in which two mismatched private investigators—the Hyena, a mysterious and ruthless vigilante, and Lucie, an apathetic and resentful slacker—cruise the streets of Paris and Barcelona in search of a missing girl. The duo ques- tions a cast of unsavory characters, exposing lust, violence, greed, and dis- illusionment, and the corruption of contemporary youth culture. As their desperate search unfolds, we careen toward a conclusion no one could have anticipated. Cult author and filmmaker Virginie Despentes has written many award- winning books, including King Kong Theory.

While neither softening nor white washing this difficult topic, Higginbotham offers an ulti- mately comforting message to parents and children experiencing separation and divorce.”— Lisa Spiegel, LMHC, director of Soho Parenting NYC Kids are told, “it’s for the best”— and one day, it may be.

There used to be a time when designers were trained in the history of composition. Now they’re not. Now you just buy a fuckin’ piece of software and now you’ve become a designer. “Art Chantry . . . Is he a Luddite?” asks a Rhode Island School of Design poster promoting a Chantry lecture. “Or is he a graphic design hero?” For decades this avatar of low- tech design has fought against the cheap and easy use of digital software. Chantry’s homage to expired technology and his inspired use of Xerox machines and X- Acto blade cuts of printed material created a much- copied style during the grunge period and beyond. Chantry’s designs were published in Some People Can’t Surf: The Graphic Design of Art Chantry (Chronicle Books), exhibited at the Seattle Art Museum, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, and the Louvre. More recently, Chantry has drawn upon his extraordinary collection of twentieth- century graphic art to create compelling histories of the forgot- ten and unknown on essays he has posted on his Facebook page. These essays might lionize the unrecognized illustrators of screws, wrenches, and pipes in equipment catalogs. Other posts might reveal how some famous artists were improperly recognized. Art Chantry Speaks is the kind of opinionated art history you’ve always wanted to read but were never assigned.

It’s a Man’s World was first released in 2003 to critical acclaim and was featured on the cover of the Los Angeles Times Book Review and in the New York Times. This rich collection, filled with interviews, essays, and color reproductions of testosterone- heavy thirty- five- cent magazines with names like Man’s Exploits, Rage, and Escape to Adventure (to name a few), illustrates the culture created to help veterans confront the confusion of jobs, girls, and the Cold War on their return from World War II and the Korean War. Contributions from the original men’s magazine talent like Bruce Jay Friedman, Mario Puzo, and Mort Künstler bring the reader inside the offices, showing us how the writers, illustrators, editors, and publishers put together decades of what were then called “armpit slicks.” Reproductions of original paintings from Norman Saunders, Künstler, and Norm Eastman are featured within, and Bill Devine’s annotated checklist of the many thousands of ad- venture magazines is essential for collectors of the genre. The expanded paperback edition includes wartime illustrations and ad- vertisements from mass- produced magazines that preview the xenophobia and racist ideas later seen throughout men’s adventure magazines of the ’50s and ’60s.

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley’s spree of torture, sexual abuse, and murder of children in the 1960s was one of the most appalling series of crimes ever com- mitted in England, and remains almost daily fixated upon by the tabloid press. In The Gates of Janus, Ian Brady himself allows us a glimpse into the mind of a murderer as he analyzes a dozen other serial crimes and killers. Criminal profiling by a criminal was not invented by the dramatists of Dexter. Novelist and true- crime writer Colin Wilson, author of the famous and influential book The Outsider, remarks in his introduction to Brady’s book that one must first explore the depraved reaches of human consciousness to truly understand human character. When first released in 2001, The Gates of Janus sparked controversy attended by a huge media splash. The new edition, the first in paperback, provides the reader with a decade and a half of updates, including Brady’s letters to the publisher, both providing information regarding his own demented history along with demands that Feral House remove its unflattering afterword writ- ten by author Peter Sotos.

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

A sometimes poignant but optimistic tale, George’s Grand Tour is a heart warming read in the vein of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Hundred- Year- Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared that teaches us we’re never too old to get out of our comfort zone and have an adventure. At the age of eighty-three, retired butcher George Nicoleau is about to set off on the greatest adventure of his life. George and his neighbor Charles have long dreamt of a road trip, driving the 3,500 kilometres that make up the stages of the Tour de France. And now that George’s over- protective daughter has gone to South America, it’s time to seize the moment. But just when he feels free of family ties, George’s granddaughter Adèle starts calling him from London, and he finds himself promising to text her as he travels around France, although he doesn’t even know how to use a mobile. George is plagued by doubts, health worries, and an indifference to mod- ern technology. And yet—might the journey still prove to be everything he had hoped for? A gentle story with wide, cross- generational appeal, George’s Grand Tour has been a European bestseller with sales of two hundred thousand copies. Caroline Vermalle writes in French and in English. She worked as a producer for the BBC prior to becoming a writer. She is currently somewhere around the globe, traveling with her husband and son.

Marjorie Merriweather Post was one of America’s most powerful women, a di- rector of General Foods, Inc., philanthropist, patriot, and internationalist, with a keen interest in art, and a magnificent wardrobe collected over seventy years. Ingenue to Icon is a beautifully illustrated new volume dedicated to Post’s love of fashion and how she used it to create her unique style: the luxurious, embroidered dresses; exquisite shoes dyed to match her gowns; and fabulous jewels that defined her style offer glimpses into a life of exceptional elegance and wealth. Post worked closely with fashion designers across Europe and the United States to create her distinctly elegant appearance over the course of her adult life. More than just a catalog of her wonderful evening gowns, Ingenue to Icon illustrates a spectacular collection of costume, combining numerous images of accessories— shoes, hats, handbags, fans and parasols, and related portraits and photographs of Post wearing them— with a wealth of printed ephemera and personal letters, to put them in context. Four chronological chapters chart the progression of Post’s development into an icon of elegance during a cen- tury of huge change in fashion. This book will appeal to all those interested in the fashion and style of the twentieth century.

Born in Japan, Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889–1953) arrived in the United States as a teenager and studied art in New York. The early success he achieved with his distinctive modern figural works developed into a compelling and powerful late style. This new survey, the first full retrospective of his works since the Whitney Show of 1948, features seventy of Kuniyoshi’s best paintings and drawings, chosen from leading public and private collections in America and Japan. Tom Wolf is professor of art history, Bard College, New York, and the lead- ing Kuniyoshi scholar.

Maria del Fiore in Florence, better known to visitors as the Duomo, or cathedral, in the first decades of the 1400s. These include nine works alone by Donatello, considered one of the great- est and most influential Italian sculptors, including his masterpiece Lo Zuccone, and The Evangelist John which inpsired Michelangelo. There is also a detailed dis- cussion of Ghiberti’s gilded bronze Gates of Paradise, created for the neighboring Florence Baptistery, which includes remarkable shots of the doors after their current restoration. With four chapters by leading scholars, and a catalog presenting over fifty superb color plates of the artworks, beautifully photographed by leading art photographer Antonio Quattrone, this volume explains how these master- pieces had a profound impact on the art of the Italian Renaissance. This is a major new scholarly survey, and will become a seminal text on the artistic imagination, creativity, and skill of the Florentine Renaissance. Mons.

This book celebrates those who have dedicated their lives to addressing the seemingly impossible challenge of crafting inter- national policy on this issue and should motivate the rest of us to take part in one of the most critical issues facing our generation.”— Edward Norton, actor and UN Goodwill Ambassador In December 2015, the nations of the world will gather in Paris with an op- portunity to make history by signing the first legally binding global agree- ment on climate change, commonly referred to as “COP21.” This will build on more than two decades of near- constant negotiations on measures to re- duce greenhouse gas emissions and help nations adapt to the impacts of global climate change such as rising sea levels, threats to food production, and loss of biodiversity. Drawn from tens of thousands of images, this book is a celebration of the collective efforts of the nations and peoples of the world who have come together under the framework of the United Nations to reach a global agree- ment on the future of our common home. Award- winning photographer Henry Dallal has built a reputation for creat- ing photographic books of rare beauty. Henry’s work has been exhibited widely including at the Smithsonian Institution, Naples Museum of Art, and Guildhall and Windsor castles. He has also been honored to photograph Queen Elizabeth II.

When Peter Clark arrived in Damascus 1992 to open the new British Council office, he was not to know that the next five years were to give him a unique window on the upper echelons of Syrian society in the last few years of Hafez Al- Assad’s rule. Here we see the dramas and routines of everyday life played out against the backdrop of the world’s oldest continually inhabited city on the eve of collapse into civil war. Enchanting and alarming by turns, every- day events combine to paint a vivid and almost nostalgic picture of life in this remarkable city. This highly entertaining and highly personal account of life in Damascus in the 1990s paints the portrait of a city now immensely remote from the world we see on our news screens today.

He explores everything from finding the right script and the process of raising money without having conditions placed on the work, to the inevitable backlash of creating films that challenge the domi- nant social narrative. This short and accessible book offers an intriguing and experiential look into the creation of legendary films. Ken Loach started his career in the theater and went on to become a BBC television director in 1963. He worked on Z Cars and then the Wednesday Play, where he directed the classic Cathy Come Home. In 1969, Loach made the award- winning film Kes. Loach won the Palme d’Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival for his film The Wind That Shakes the Barley.

The present collection of articles explores some of the main ecosocialist proposals and some concrete experiences of struggle, particu- larly in Latin America. Michael Löwy is emerit research director at the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research). His books have been translated into twenty- nine languages.

Davidson resets the en- tire debate on the character of revolutions: bourgeois, democratic, and so- cialist. He’s sending me, at least, back to the library.”— Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums “This is, quite simply, the finest book of its kind.”— Tony McKenna, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books Ranging from the uselessness of the concept of “ethnicity” to the difference between the class politics of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, these essays focus on the two great themes of nation and revolution, and the third which links them: the state. Neil Davidson is the author of The Origins of Scottish Nationhood (2000), Discovering the Scottish Revolution (2003), for which he was awarded the Deutscher Prize, and How Revolutionary Were the Bourgeois Revolutions? (2012). Davidson lectures in sociology in the School of Political and Social Science at the University of Glasgow, Scotland.

The profitability of capital is too low and debt built up be- fore the Great Recession is too high. Roberts argues that the depression will end when the profitability of capital is restored through yet another slump. This study of Vladimir Lenin’s conception of the revolutionary party, and its place in Marxist thought, gives a vibrant sense of the historical context— both Russian and international— in which Lenin’s views were shaped and upon which they had such a profound impact. This book provides an invaluable picture of Leon Trotsky’s intimate expe- rience as both a leader of, and outcast exile from, the Russian Revolution. Victor Serge and Natalia Sedova’s portrait brings alive in a new way Trotsky’s extraordinary life. This updated edition, with a new introduction by the author, discusses China’s transformation from a poor country devastated by war into a major world power. How did this change come about? What are the real living con- ditions of the peasants and workers? This book seeks to answer these ques- tions and more. 179 Haymarket Books Haymarket Books FROM THE HISTORICAL MATERIALISM BOOK SERIES The Communist International and U.S. Communism, 1919–1929 Jacob A.

Forget what you thought you knew about domestic sex trafficking and the best ways to prevent it. The problem is larger in scope and involves more factors than most can imagine. This book lays out what makes young people vulner- able to trafficking, exploring the real root of the problem and the numer- ous effects of abuse; outlines steps parents and others can take to mitigate those risk factors; and describes ways to help victims find healing. Drawing from her own experience being trafficked plus her insights gained from years of advocacy and anti- trafficking work, the author speaks directly not only of the realities of trafficking that occur in our own communities but also the so- lutions that we can all be a part of. She talks of everyday things we can do to intervene— not “rescue”— youth in troubled lives and homes. The book also lists hidden signs of trouble and offers parents and professionals practical tools and knowledge to intervene and make a positive difference in young people’s lives. Savannah J. Sanders is a leading advocate in the prevention of child sex traf- ficking. A survivor of hardships, abuse, and trafficking, Savannah is now liv- ing a full life as a victim’s advocate, wife, and mother of four. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in social work and is working with the State of Arizona Homeless Coordination Office. Sanders shares her story and speaks regularly to groups across the United States on anti- trafficking efforts and ways to support victims.

When in late September 2013 Suárez, a Liverpool player at the time, re- turned from a landmark ten- match ban for biting an opponent, one in a long line of high- profile misdemeanors, it seemed unlikely that he would ever win over his critics. In the months that followed, he scored an astonishing thirty- one times, propelling Liverpool back into the Champions League following a four- year absence. The World Cup in Brazil followed, but Uruguay’s Suárez saw his action- packed tournament curtailed after just two games, two goals, and one moment of madness.

Best- selling and critically acclaimed author Diana Wagman brings us another suspenseful tale about a woman facing death. Fiona’s marriage is crumbling, and she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Caught up in a wave of memories as she faces her own mortality, Fiona recalls the five previous times in her life that she nearly died, including a fateful boat trip thirty years ago with her former boyfriend, Luc. She flees her life, struggling marriage, and cancer treatment to rendezvous with Luc, in the process reliving the harrow- ing boat trip the two of them shared three decades earlier, which permanently altered their lives. Now that Fiona desperately needs Luc to save her, will he be the man she remembers? Or will she discover heartbreak again? An adventurous, emotionally complex tale inspired by Diana Wagman’s own experience at sea, Life #6 explores the folly of youth, what happens to us when we’re pushed to the brink, the regrets of love lost, and what it really means to love, as well as the many ways we die and are renewed throughout our lives.

A note in a workshop log proves that in 1914, Oskar Barnack put the finishing touches on the first working model of a compact camera for 35mm standard cinema film. He had not merely invented a new camera— the Leica (=Leitz/ camera), not introduced until 1925 due to the war— he in fact ushered in a paradigm shift in photography. Just in time to mark a milestone birthday of the legendary compact camera, and for the first time in this thematic breadth, this volume, with about eight hundred images, offers a wide artistic and cultural history of the Leica from the 1920s to the present day. Essays by international authors examine topics including the technical genesis of the Leica, its influence on photojournalism, and its significance for a wide variety of avant- garde currents in art photography. Heretofore un- published documents from the archives of the Leica Camera AG round off this multifaceted one- hundred- year cultural chronicle.

She photographs the time before first loss, the time of childhood. She captures this in the bodies and faces. And she creates a world layered upon a world, of characters upon children who are no longer children. She dresses, styles, costumes, and sometimes masks them. And the big girls and proud boys who pass through her hands are projected elsewhere. Into their battles, their modesty, their trouble. Each and every one has a frightening power. Each and every one, in their manner and in their costume, is invincible.

For Parker, the siren song is a call to contemplation, and his pictures chart many fasci- nated encounters with an enchanted world of forgotten archetypes, further exploring the tension between the temporal and eternal in our secular age.

Alaskan photographer Ben Huff followed the road north for the first time in 2007, in search of the Alaskan frontier. He found a complex landscape— the physical and psychological line between wilderness and oil.

Like a journey into the heart of urban solitude and its periphery, Clément’s work draws the viewer into an intimate relationship with the image.

A removed gallstone, a goiter in a kidney bowl, looking like rare gems. “People find them really visually pleasing when they don’t know what’s in the photo,” Tammi says, “They sometimes change their mind when they find out.” In Leftover, “portraits” of used radiation therapy masks, collected from hos- pitals, deal with the fear of sickness; both defined and undefined. The intriguingly designed double book Leftover / Removals combines both series into a parallel story.

I shot freely and, as the images appeared, I loved how the Polaroid interpreted what I saw. The limitations of the plastic lens softened the features captured in stone; the softened stone wings became real wings. Mauro Marinelli’s iconic cemetery images captured on Polaroid juxtapose the inherent contradictions of the immediate moment: instant and everlasting. In homage to the sixteenth-century style of Nature Morte, the stone of mortuary sculptures softens like flesh and graveside tokens and bouquets of flowers de- pict life becoming death.

It is universally recognized as a momentous work of reference for an understanding of contemporary Islamic thinking, particu- larly the interpretation of the Qur’an in the twentieth century. With a focus on conveying the timeless messages found in the Qur’an, Sayyid Qutb’s commentary aims to reassure and reaffirm the essence and value of faith and its profound role in the life of man instead of focusing on legalis- tic issues. This foregrounds the moral and social advantages of each command along with their role in personal and collective life. Prefaced to each chapter is an introduction to its content, summarizing the main message of the surah. Moreover, each chapter is divided by topic in order to draw out the prevalent themes in a harmonized way. Sayyid Qutb (1906–66) was born in Egypt in 1906. He started his career as lit- erary writer and critic, and progressed to become one of the most original and independent Muslim thinkers of his time. He was executed by the Nasser re- gime of Egypt on August 1, 1966. Qutb has more than twenty- five literary works to his name, of which In the Shade of the Qur’an—his tafsir written, and re- written, over a period of fifteen years, most of which were spent in Egyptian prisons—is the largest and most important.

Quirkily satisfying.”— Kirkus Reviews “An eye for detail, an ear for dialogue, and a knack for storytelling distinguish this unflinching novel of rural America.”— Publishers Weekly Johnny Riles is in a rough patch. He’s lonesome, he’s drunk, and someone’s murdered his horse. He spends his days searching— for the mysterious killer, for his brother’s soul, for a sober reason to live. In this off- kilter tale spun out with dry humor, Johnny delves beneath stark Western landscapes both literal and figurative to unearth the truths behind his nightmares. Gregory Hill lives, writes, and makes music on the Colorado High Plains, and is a book buyer for the University of Denver library. He was the 2012 Boulder County Artist in Residence; his previous novel, East of Denver (2012, Dutton), won the 2013 Colorado Book Award for Literary Fiction and the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.

In this artfully crafted collection of new short stories by award- winning author Myriam Gurba, nothing is as it seems on the surface. A Mexican grandmother tells creepy yet fascinating ghost stories to her granddaughters as a way to make them sit still (“How Some Abuelitas Keep Their Chicana Granddaughters Still So That They Can Paint Their Portraits in Winter”). A Polish grandfather spends the night in a Mexican graveyard after a Día de Muertos celebration to discover if ghosts really do consume the food that has been left for them (“Even this Title Is a Ghost”). Unforgettable characters inhabit these cross- border tales filled with intro- spection and longing, as modern sensibilities weave and wind through tradi- tional folktales, creating a new kind of magical realism that offers insights into where we come from and where we may be going. A native Californian, Myriam Gurba earned a BA with honors from UC– Berkeley. Her writing has been published by Manic D Press, Future Tense, City Lights Publishers, and Seal Press. Her first book, Dahlia Season, won the Publishing Triangle’s Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction and was short- listed for a Lambda Literary Award.

Imagine the typical American farmer. Many people visualize sun- roughened skin, faded overalls, and calloused hands— hands that are usually white. While there’s no doubt the growing trend of organic farming and homesteading is changing how the farmer is portrayed in mainstream media, farmers of color are still largely left out of the picture. The Color of Food seeks to rectify this. By recognizing the critical issues that lie at the intersection of race and food, this stunning collection of portraits and stories challenges the status quo of agrarian identity. Author, photogra- pher, and biracial farmer Natasha Bowens’s quest to explore her own roots in the soil leads her to unearth a larger story, weaving together the seemingly for- gotten history of agriculture for people of color, the issues they face today, and the culture and resilience they bring to food and farming. The Color of Food teaches us that the food and farm movement is about more than buying local and protecting our soil. It is about preserving culture and community, digging deeply into the places we’ve overlooked, and honoring those who have come before us. Blending storytelling, photography, oral his- tory, and unique insight, these pages remind us that true food sovereignty means a place at the table for everyone. Natasha Bowens is an author, farmer, and creator of the multimedia proj- ect The Color of Food. Her advocacy focuses on food sovereignty and social issues. The Color of Food Stories of Race, Resilience and Farming Natasha Bowens 232 New Society Publishers New Society Publishers Most of us understand the value of eating and buying local. Taking back our food, goods, and services from multinational corporations and sourcing them from small growers, producers, artisans, and entrepreneurs benefits our fami lies, our environment, and our communities. Heal Local argues that “100- mile healthcare” can be equally valuable in terms of how we treat illness and injury and maintain wellness. This innovative guide demonstrates that by harnessing multifaceted whole plants, we can rely on homegrown or regionally produced herbs rather than importing exotics and non- natives. Based on the small apothecary model, author Dawn Combs explains how to: • Maximize the benefits of homegrown first aid, from increased freshness, potency, and effectiveness to community resilience and local economic growth • Make home herbal healthcare less intimidating and more attainable, by focusing on twenty herbs to effectively treat most common injuries and ailments • Implement a local medicine culture safely and sustainably, while protecting and respecting wild plant populations Many herbals overwhelm their readers, presenting a list of hundreds of herbs, each with a different purpose. Heal Local empowers readers by showing that you don’t need to know everything about every herb on the planet to create a complete home apothecary. Anyone can be self- sufficient with their wellness, regardless of their previous knowledge, experience, or available space. Dawn Combs is a homestead herbalist with over twenty years’ experience, and is the author of Conceiving Healthy Babies. As well as training others in herbal home healthcare, she treats her family’s common illnesses and minor injuries with natural therapies, herbal remedies, and appropriate foods.

Widely known as “cottage food legislation,” over forty- two states and many Canadian provinces have enacted recent legislation that encourages home cooks to create and sell a variety of “non- hazardous” food items, often defined as those that are high- acid, like pickles, or low moisture, like breads or cookies. Finally, “homemade” and “fresh from the oven” on the package can mean exactly what it says. Homemade for Sale is the first authoritative guide to conceiving and launching your own home- based food start- up. Packed with profiles of successful cottage food entrepreneurs, this comprehensive and accessible resource covers every- thing you need to get cooking for your customers, creating items that by their very nature are specialized and unique.

Commentators suggested that the tragedy was completely predictable in a sector with a shocking track re- cord of rampant environmental damage, use of toxic chemicals, and chronic human rights abuse. Now the industry is undergoing a shift, and many of us are questioning our buying habits.

While many policy-makers as- sume that renewable energy sources will provide an easy “plug- and- play” so- lution, author Richard Heinberg suggests instead that we are in for a wild ride; a “civilization reboot” on a scale similar to the agricultural and indus- trial revolutions. Afterburn consists of fifteen essays exploring various aspects of the twenty- first century migration away from fossil fuels including: • Short- term political and economic factors that impede broad- scale, organized efforts to adapt • The origin of longer- term trends (such as consumerism) that have created a way of life that seems “normal” to most Americans, but is actually unprecedented, highly fragile, and unsustainable • Potential opportunities and sources of conflict that are likely to emerge From the inevitability and desirability of more locally organized economies to the urgent need to preserve our recent cultural achievements and the futility of pursuing economic growth above all, Afterburn offers cutting-edge perspec- tives and insights that challenge conventional thinking about our present, our future, and the choices in our hands. Richard Heinberg is a senior fellow of the Post Carbon Institute, the author of eleven previous books including The Party’s Over and The End of Growth. He is widely regarded as one of the world’s most effective communicators of the ur- gent need to transition away from fossil fuels.

What happens once God is dead? Progress is not just a goal in the West— it’s a religion. Most people believe in its inherent value as enthusiastically and uncritically as medieval peasants be- lieved in heaven and hell. Our faith in progress drives the popular insistence that peak oil and climate change don’t actually matter— after all, our lab- coated high priests will surely bring forth yet another miracle to save us all. Unfortunately, progress as we’ve known it has been entirely dependent on the breakneck exploitation of half a billion years of stored sunlight in the form of fossil fuels. As the age of this cheap, abundant energy draws to a close, progress is grinding to a halt. Unforgiving planetary limits are teaching us that our blind faith in endless exponential growth is a dangerous myth. After Progress addresses this looming paradigm shift, exploring the shape of history from a perspective on the far side of the coming crisis. John Michael Greer’s startling examination of the role our belief systems play in the evolu- tion of our collective consciousness is required reading for anyone concerned about making sense of the future at a time when we must seek new sources of meaning, value, and hope for the era ahead.

Governments are acting too slowly or not at all, and not enough people feel informed or empowered enough to demand action. But ignoring a catastrophe of such magnitude is a certain path to disaster. The Big Swim puts forward the idea that personal growth arises from facing both inner tensions and threats to the biosphere. In a collection of stories that is frequently touching, surprisingly funny, and always thought- provoking, author Carrie Saxifrage seeks out the places where science meets self- discovery, inviting us to join her as she: • Learns the art of appreciation from an ancient jawbone • Hikes solo through the wilderness to find balance in a field of blueberries • Swims for four hours through cold, open water, seeking a fleeting state of grace Each of the stories in The Big Swim encourages possibilities for greater per- sonal satisfaction with lower environmental impacts. While exploring signifi- cant topics, such as sustainable forestry, nature- centered philosophy, or First Nations’ culture, the author discovers that the greatest adventure is learning to align how she lives with what she loves. By turning her own despair into action, she paves the way for us all to discover the many tools we have at hand to meet the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. Carrie Saxifrage is a journalist and author whose work on First Nations’ re- sponses to the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline has garnered significant critical acclaim. In 2006 she committed herself to the most life- affirming ad- venture yet: a low-carbon lifestyle.

Dogs alone produce enough waste to fill more than 1,091 football fields 1 foot deep in a single year. Add billions of plastic pick- up bags to the mix and season well with tons of litter box waste. Scoop a hefty portion into local land- fills and seal it tightly to ensure optimal methane production. Clearly, this is a recipe for disaster. Dog and cat owners who trash their pets’ offerings daily are in denial about how much waste is produced and what happens to it. Those who want to make the responsible choice often turn to the internet, only to find misleading, confusing, and contradictory information. The Pet Poo Pocket Guide will help you reduce your pet’s environmental paw print with: • Best practices for cycling pet waste back to nature • Suggestions on how to tailor your approach based on location, situation, weather, needs, or available time • Instructions for using your composted pet waste safely to enrich your soil and nourish ornamental plants With recycling tactics clearly indicated as “easy,” “moderate,” or “demanding,” The Pet Poo Pocket Guide offers something for everyone. This no- nonsense guide is a must- read for any pet owner who is concerned about the environmental im- pact of their best friend, and is seeking a safe and practical solution.

You can’t help but keep on smiling with great pleasure.” — Maariv “A profound literary experience.”— Ahshav Alexandrian Summer is the story of two Jewish families living their frenzied last days in the doomed cosmopolitan social whirl of Alexandria just before flee- ing Egypt for Israel in 1951. The conventions of the Egyptian upper- middle class are laid bare in this dazzling novel, which exposes startling sexual hy- pocrisies and portrays a now vanished polyglot world of horse- racing, seaside promenades, and elegant night clubs. Hamdi- Ali senior is an old- time pa- triarch with more than a dash of strong Turkish blood. His handsome elder son, a promising horse jockey, can’t afford sexual frustration, as it leads him to overeat and imperil his career, but the woman he lusts after won’t let him get beyond undoing a few buttons. Victor, the younger son, takes his pleasure with other boys. But the true heroine of the story— richly evoked in a pungent upstairs/downstairs mix— is the raucous, seductive city of Alexandria itself. Published in Hebrew in 1978, Alexandrian Summer appears now in translation for the first time. Yitzhak Gormezano Goren was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1941 and im- migrated to Israel as a child. A playwright and novelist, Goren studied English and French literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University. In 1982, he co-founded the Bimat Kedem Theater.

Yet Bursa’s dark humor and dead- pan satire . . . keep utter bleakness at bay.”— The Independent “A revolution against the banality of everyday life.”— Gazeta Krakowska A young university student named Jurek, with no particular ambitions or tal- ents, is adrift. After his doting aunt asks him to perform a small chore, he de- cides to kill her for no good reason other than, perhaps, boredom. Killing Auntie follows Jurek as he seeks to dispose of the corpse— a task more difficult than one might imagine— and then falls in love with a girl he meets on a train. Can he tell her what he’s done? Will that ruin everything? “I’m convinced— simply— that we are all guilty,” says Jurek, and his adven- tures with nosy neighbors, false- toothed grandmothers, and love- making lynxes shed light on how an entire society becomes involved in the murder and disposal of dear old Auntie. This is a short comedic masterpiece com- bining elements of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Jean- Paul Sartre, Franz Kafka, and Joseph Heller, coming together in the end to produce an unforgettable tale of murder and— just maybe— redemption. Andrzej Bursa was born in 1934 in Krakow, Poland, and died twenty- five years later. In his brief lifetime he composed some of the most original Polish writing of the twentieth century. Killing Auntie is his only novel. His brilliant ca- reer and tragic early death established him as a cult figure among restless and disenchanted youth.

Yet you know exactly where in the universe you are. This is the hallmark of great short stories, from Chekhov’s portraits of discontented Russians to Joyce’s struggling Dubliners.”— Radhika Jones, Time Naja Marie Aidt’s long- awaited first novel is a breathtaking page- turner and complex portrait of a man whose life slowly devolves into one of violence and jealousy. Rock, Paper, Scissors opens shortly after the death of Thomas and Jenny’s crimi- nal father. While trying to fix a toaster that he left behind, Thomas discovers a secret wad of cash, setting into motion a series of events leading to the dis- solution of his life, and plunging him into a dark, shadowy underworld of violence and betrayal.

The formal playfulness suggests Kundera with A.D.D. and potty jokes.”— Ed Park, The Village Voice A finalist for both the Strega Europeo and Gregor von Rezzori awards (and winner of every Bulgarian honor possible), The Physics of Sorrow reaffirms Georgi Gospodinov’s place as one of Europe’s most inventive and daring writers. Using the myth of the Minotaur as its organizing image, the narrator of Gospodinov’s long- awaited novel constructs a labyrinth of stories about his family, jumping from era to era and viewpoint to viewpoint, exploring the mindset and trappings of Eastern Europeans. Incredibly moving— such as with the story of his grandfather accidentally being left behind at a mill— and ex- traordinarily funny— see the section on the awfulness of the question “how are you?”— Physics is a book that you can inhabit, tracing connections, following the narrator down various “side passages,” getting pleasantly lost in the vari- ous stories and empathizing with the sorrowful, misunderstood Minotaur at the center of it all. The Physics of Sorrow will appeal to fans of Dave Eggers, Tom McCarthy, and Dubravka Ugresic for its unique structure, humanitarian concerns, and stun- ning storytelling. Georgi Gospodinov’s Natural Novel was published by Dalkey Archive Press in 2005 and was praised by the New Yorker, New York Times, and several other pres- tigious review outlets. Angela Rodel won a PEN Translation Fund Grant in 2010 for Georgi Tenev’s short story collection. She is one of the most prolific translators of Bulgarian literature working today and received an NEA Fellowship for her translation of Gospodinov’s The Physics of Sorrow.

The Physics of Sorrow Georgi Gospodinov Translated by Angela Rodel 255 Open Letter “The interconnected works of Volodine— think Faulkner, but after an apocalypse— constitute the most exciting project in contemporary French literature.”— Maria Clementi That is what we had called post- exoticism. It was a construction connected to revolutionary sha- manism and literature. . . . It was an interior construction, a withdrawal, a secret welcoming land, but also something offensive that participated in the plot of certain unarmed individuals against the capitalist world and its countless ignominies. This fight was now confined solely to Bassmann’s lips. Like with Antoine Volodine’s other works (Minor Angels, We Monks & Soldiers), Post- Exoticism in Ten Lessons, Lesson Eleven takes place in a corrupted future where a small group of radical writers— those who practice “post- exoticism”— have been jailed by those in power and are slowly dying off. But before Lutz Bassmann, the last post- exoticist writer, passes away, a couple journalists will try and pry out all the secrets of this powerful literary movement. With its explanations of several key “post- exoticist” terms that appear in Volodine’s other books, Lesson Eleven provides a crucial entryway into one of the most ambitious literary projects of recent times: a project exploring the revo- lutionary power of literature. Antoine Volodine is the author of dozens of books under a few different pseudonyms, including Lutz Bassmann and Manuela Draeger. These novels— several of which are available in English— articulate a post- exoticist universe filled with secrets, revolutionary writers, and spiders. J. T.

Many of the characters who populate Juan José Saer’s other novels appear here, including Tomatis, Ángel Leto, and Washington Noriega (who appear in La Grande, Scars, and The Sixty- Five Years of Washington, all of which are available from Open Letter). Saer’s typical themes are on display in this collection as well, as is his idiosyncratic blend of philosophical ruminations and precise storytelling. From the story of the two characters who decide to bury a message in a bottle that simply says “MESSAGE,” to Pigeon Garay’s attempt to avoid the rising tides and escape Argentina for Europe, The One Before evocatively intro- duces readers to Saer’s world and gives the already indoctrinated new material about their favorite characters. Juan José Saer was the leading Argentinian writer of the post- Borges genera- tion. The author of numerous novels and short- story collections (including Scars and La Grande), Saer was awarded Spain’s prestigious Nadal Prize in 1987 for The Event. Roanne Kantor is a doctoral student in comparative literature at the University of Texas at Austin. Her translation of The One Before won the 2009 Susan Sontag Prize for Translation. Her translations from Spanish have appeared in Little Star magazine, Two Lines, and Palabras Errantes.

The result is an elegant book, an important book, bringing a distinctive voice into English.”— Rosanna Warren Culled from his entire career, the poems in Traces of Time cover numerous themes, most prominently the poet’s relationship to history and how poetry can exist outside of it. “Tiananmen, 20 Years Later,” “Protocols of War,” and “Checkmate” (about 9/11) all illustrate Lucio Mariani’s concerns “through images both dense and porous, lines both cadenced and spasmodic,” and con- firm his place in contemporary poetry. “Protocols of War” (Baghdad is not far) Of this time you’ll gather no memories for your eternal hunger. Can’t you see the slags in the weave that enfolds the flesh of the living? Can’t you see that the boxes and drawers where the silver of bygone days abounds have no room for trinkets or seashells of a present founded on plaster markets, lost facing a mirror seeking itself in the halls of the world? Don’t you see that for the first time every man erects ruins for his heirs enacting inane protocols of war while the future slams its shutters tight so as to celebrate on statistical altars the glory of mindless marionettes maneuvered by nothingness, sprung in the bitter fields of oblivion? Of this time you’ll gather no memories. Lucio Mariani is the author of eight volumes of poetry, including Echoes of Memory (available in English from UPNE), as well as a volume of essays, a col- lection of short stories, and translations of works by César Vallejo, Tristan Corbière, and Yves Bonnefoy. Anthony Molino is a translator from the Italian, an anthropologist, and a psychoanalyst. In addition to Lucio Mariani’s two volumes, he has also trans- lated works by Valerio Magrelli and Antonio Porta, among others.

The project involved the creation of individual photographic works with covers, graphics, and original formats to convey as best possible the meaning of the photographer’s work. This starting “mark” is one that still characterizes the catalog of our publishing house. Books of photography are among the most delicate of the publishing market, not easily transmitting their message, unlike literature, poetry, and fiction, as visual reading is not often supported by adequate culture, considering that the language of photography is still very young. Despite this perceptive difficulty, our commitment is to bring photography to a diverse audience. Famous authors like Leonard Freed, Franco Fontana, Guido Guidi, Gilbert Garcin, and Tano D’Amico, along with a younger generation, like Davide Monteleone, George Georgiou, Carlo Gianferro, Emiliano Mancuso, Valentina Vannicola, and Monika Bulaj, have contributed their expressive power to create an important catalog that manages to convey the power of the photographic message. The relationship established with the individual authors allowed us to invent original works with a personal trait. For the last three years, along with the new series of essays, Postwords, we have welcomed literature that our audience has found to be an interesting combination of photography and text. After years of commitment to the European market we are happy to offer our titles to the wider (and photographically more prepared) audience of the United States, confident that the synergy with a different culture will encourage us to improve and expand our vision. first season at Consortium 262 Postcart Postcart Marketing Plans • Social media campaign • Outreach to photography and music publications and websites • Promotion through: www.postcart.com, www.lucianoviti.com, www.pannonica.it PHOTOGRAPHY / MUSIC April 6⅞ x 9¼ | 80 pp 32 color and 9 B&W photographs Trade Paper US $32.00 | CAN $34.99 978- 88- 86795- 83- 8 USC A photography session with Chet Baker and Miles Davis, icons of jazz music. 1987: The photographer Luciano Viti succeeds in what remains one of the most significant events in the history of music photography, that of realizing photo- sessions with Miles Davis and Chet Baker, two legends of jazz.

Sometimes it is the outcome of casual encounters, sometimes it is the result of careful investigations and repeated verifications. Guidi’s preference for “marginal” landscapes is, therefore, an opportunity to reflect on the nature of photography. It is the job of a great photographer to help us gain greater awareness of the world around us. Guido Guidi was born in Cesena in 1941. He is an Italian photographer who, at the end of 1960s, started his works about the objectivity of photog- raphy. Influenced by the neo-realist cinema and by conceptual art, he started to research contemporary landscapes altered by man, like rural landscapes or suburbs. By using “large format” images, he creates an intense sequence re- flecting on the meaning of landscape and photography.

I have never been particularly interested in slavery, perhaps because it is such an obvious fact of my family’s history. The fact that I am descended from slaves is hard to acknowledge on a day- to- day basis, because slavery does not fit with my self- image. Perhaps this is because I am pretty certain I would not have survived it. In the manner of Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, Wendy S. Walters deftly explores the psyches of cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Manhattan, and Portsmouth. In “Cleveland,” she interviews an African American playwright who draws great reviews, but can’t muster an audience. An on- air telephone chat between a DJ and his listeners drives a discussion of race and nutrition in “Chicago Radio.” In “Manhattanville” the author, out for a walk with her biracial son, is mistaken for his nanny. There’s even a fable, imagining a black takeover of Norway. All of these essays explore societal questions— how eras of immense growth can leave us unable to prosper from that growth, how places intended for safety become fraught with danger, and how race and gender bias threaten our communities. As John D’Agata notes: “What probing, lively, ridiculously smart, gorgeously surprising essays.” Wendy S. Walters is the author of two books of poems, Troy, Michigan and Longer I Wait, More You Love Me. Her work has appeared in Harper’s, Bookforum, the Iowa Review, and many other publications.

Three Kinds of Motion holds open a wild and beautiful journey, not to be missed.”— Thalia Field In 1943, Peggy Guggenheim commissioned a mural from Jackson Pollock to hang in the entryway of her Manhattan townhouse. It was the largest Pollock canvas she would ever own, and four years later she gave it to a small Midwestern institution with no place to put it. When the original scroll of On the Road goes on tour across the country, it lands at the same Iowa mu- seum housing Peggy’s Pollock, revitalizing Riley Hanick’s adolescent fascina- tion with the author. Alongside these two narrative threads, Hanick revisits Dwight D. Eisenhower’s quest to build America’s first interstate highway sys- tem. When catastrophic rains flood the Iowa highways with their famous allure and history of conquest, they also threaten the museum and its precious mural. In Three Kinds of Motion, his razor- sharp, funny, and intensely vulnerable book- length essay, Hanick moves deftly between his three subjects. He deliv- ers a story with breathtaking ingenuity. Riley Hanick is an essayist, journalist, and translator. His work has received support from the Jentel and McKnight foundations and he has served as a writer- in- residence for the University of Iowa Museum of Art. He teaches at Murray State University.

Powerful stuff.”— Booklist Jack Searle is an American widower, bringing up his stepdaughters alone in the border town of Laredo after losing his wife to cancer. Jack often takes the girls to visit their Mexican family over the border in Nuevo Laredo. Marina, the elder sister, persuades him to let her go there one night to attend a concert with her cousin Patricia. Jack wants to say no— Nuevo Laredo is a very dangerous city, controlled by drug cartels. But even- tually he agrees. Marina and Patricia head out to the concert, but they never come back . . . A frantic hunt begins, with Jack leading the way. But this is Nuevo Laredo, and girls go missing all the time here. He’s lucky to find that a good cop, Gonzalo Soler, is leading their investigation, but soon the whole police force is suspended due to endemic corruption. To have any chance of finding Marina and Patricia, Jack and Gonzalo must take the law into their own hands. Their efforts to find the girls become more and more dangerous, and they uncover truths about the city of Nuevo Laredo that neither one of them ever wanted to face. Sam Hawken lives near Washington, DC, with his wife and son. His previ- ous novels, Tequila Sunset and The Dead Women of Juárez, were both nominated for Dagger awards.

Prodigies is both incisive and incantatory.” — Sofia Samatar, author of A Stranger in Olondria “Prodigies, which she considers to be her best novel . . . takes place in Germany in the home of the poet Novalis after his death, and is a humorous and ironic portrayal of the women who passed through that home.”— Women and Power in Argentinean Literature Prodigies explores the story of the poet Novalis’s birthplace in the German town of Weissenfels after it is converted into a boarding house. Moving, subtle, and full of wit, irony, and dreams, this novel fills the house with the women who lived there throughout the nineteenth century, and across the flow of history constructs the secret drama of their destinies. Angélica Gorodischer was born in Buenos Aires in 1928 and has lived in Rosario since 1936. She has published many novels and short story collec- tions including Kalpa Imperial, Mango Juice, and Trafalgar, as well as a memoir, History of My Mother. Her work has been translated into many languages and her translators include Ursula K. Le Guin and Alberto Manguel.

Praise for The Liminal People: “A great piece of genre fiction. But picking which genre to place it in isn’t easy. The first in a planned series, it’s got the twists and taut pacing of a thriller, the world-warping expansiveness of a fantasy yarn, and even the love-as- redemption arc of a romance. Oh yeah, a lot of the characters in it have super- human powers, too.”—The Rumpus “Ayize’s imagination will mess with yours, and the world won’t ever look quite the same again.”—Nalo Hopkinson “An action-packed thriller and a careful look at the moral dilemmas of those whose powers transcend humanity.”—Publishers Weekly When Taggert’s adopted daughter goes missing he suspects the hand of an old enemy. He gathers friends, family, and even those who don’t quite trust that he has left his violent past behind. But their search leads them to an un- expected place, the past, and the consequences of their journey have a price that is higher than they can afford. The enigmatic quagmire that is Ayize Jama-Everett has been making his pres- ence felt all across this world since 1974.

Coming of age in Berkeley, California, during the sexual and feminist revolutions of the 1960s, she learned that marriage and family could wait. Or could they? When Leza moves to Japan and meets the man of her dreams, her heart opens in ways she never thought possible. But she’s still an outsider, and home is far away. Rather than struggle to fit in, she opens a yoga studio and makes a home for others. Then, at forty- four, Leza and her Japanese husband seek to adopt— in a country where bloodlines are paramount and family ties are almost feudal in their cultural importance. She travels to India to work on herself and back to California to deal with her past. Something is still not complete until she learns that when you give a little love to a child, you get the whole world in return. This inspiring memoir reflects the author’s deep connection to yoga that allows her to realize that infertile does not mean inconceivable. Through teaching, meditation, and community, she transcends her struggles and em- braces the joys of adoption and motherhood. Leza Lowitz lives in Tokyo with her husband, the writer Shogo Oketani, and their ten- year- old son. She has edited and published over seventeen books, many on Japan, and has run her own yoga studio in Tokyo for a decade. She travels throughout Japan and Asia to teach yoga and write. Her debut YA novel, Jet Black and the Ninja Wind, won the 2013–2014 Asian/Pacific American Award in Young Adult Literature.

In her vast experi- ence in sexual undergrounds, Tina has befriended pro- dommes, porn stars, kinky fetishists, rent boys, and more.

Illuminating human issues of desire, gender, beauty, and ultimately friendship, the stories in this book will do no less than alter the way you think about modern sexu- ality in America.

Unshaven is a fine art photography book celebrating women who do not shave their body hair. These empowered women pose in gorgeous outdoor California settings, baring for the vision of photographer Nikki Silver. Herself a hairy woman, Silver captures the free spirits and all- natural confidence of these amateur models. Her photographs are erotic and feminist, revealing and defi- ant, and entirely unlike any nude portraits of women you have ever seen. An original essay from journalist and sexuality educator Tina Horn accen- tuates these provocative images. With humor, personal anecdotes, and elegant analysis, Horn’s writing explores the many political and social implications of unshaven women. This insight is supplemented by thoughtful words on femi- nine body hair from the models themselves. Whether they are defying gender norms, rejecting consumer conformity, or developing a new kind of counter- culture body modification, the women of Unshaven may be the twenty- first century’s post- modern heroines. Nikki Silver is a self- taught hairy pornography producer and model. Living a life of radical naturalism and free expression in both sexuality and art, she produces media that gives a voyeur’s view into her world.

Canada was linked with Caribbean Commonwealth nations long before they became tax havens. In the 1950s, an ex- governor of Canada’s central bank attempted to establish a low-taxation regime in Jamaica. In the 1960s, a minister of finance helped transform the Bahamas into a tax haven. Further, Canada currently shares its seat at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund with a group of Caribbean tax havens. And Canada, which has signed a free- trade agreement with Panama, is currently seeking a wider agreement with countries of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). These exercises in fostering fiscal and banking leniency have predisposed Canada to become one of the most attractive tax havens. US multinationals and other foreign companies now relocate to Canada as if it were Luxembourg or Belize. Deneault examines the implications of this development. Alain Deneault’s research and writing focus on ways in which international agreements increasingly foster the interests of “stateless” transnational corpora- tions over those of nation states and the interests of their human communities.

Young Dorothea is appointed by the tourist bureau to direct a documen- tary film re- enacting life at a lighthouse off Quebec’s North Shore in the 1940s and ’50s. To obtain material for the film, she is advised to inter- view an old woman, Rose Brouillard, the daughter of a fisherman who grew up on a nearby island in the St. Lawrence. Rose is finally tracked down in Montreal. She is now old: her memory and grasp of reality are hazy; never- theless she tells her story and takes Dorothea back to scenes from her child- hood. We see fishermen on the docks with their nets, hard- at- work villagers with shirtsleeves rolled up to the elbow, leafy gardens and tree- lined streets, all re created from Rose’s failing memory. The problem is that many of these scenes are invented, not real. Does that matter? Or are the stories we tell more important? The writing in Finding Rose is poetic in the rhythm of the prose and in its fine, evocative descriptions of the St. Lawrence landscape, as well as of the characters and their intimate experience. The variety of narrative voices, to- gether with their multiple perspectives, adds greatly to the interest of the story. The author of two novels and two poetry collections, Jean- François Caron writes full time in the Lanaudière forest near Sainte- Béatrix on Quebec’s North Shore. Don Wilson’s translation of Jacques Chessex’s novel A Jew Must Die was long- listed for the 2011 Best Translated Book Award in the United States.

Kirton’s loosely autobiographical poems are woven by a wagon- goddess who moves from her disco days to her dream kitchen as a mother and wife. Ultimately, Kirton responds to Muriel Rukeyser’s call: “What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.” Jonina Kirton is a healing- workshop facilitator whose work often contem- plates the practicalities of embracing a spiritual life.

The boys, aged ten, seven, and two, drowned. Was this an act of deliberate revenge or a tragic accident? The court case became Helen Garner’s obsession. She was in the courtroom every day of Farquharson’s trial and sub- sequent retrial, along with countless journalists and the families of both the accused and his former wife. In this utterly compelling book, Garner tells the story of a man and his bro- ken life. At its core is a search for truth that takes author and reader through complex psychological terrain. Garner exposes, with great compassion, that truth and justice are as complex as human frailty and morality. Part of a nonfiction tradition that began with Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood and continues in the works of Janet Malcolm and Erroll Morris. Helen Garner, born in 1942, is the author of numerous books of fiction and nonfiction. Her most recent novel The Spare Room was published to critical ac- claim in 2010.

Praise for Mark Henshaw’s Out of the Line of Fire: “Experimental, extraordinary. . . . One of my favorite Australian novels.” — Australian Paris, 1989. Recently retired police inspector Auguste Jovert receives a letter from a woman who claims to be his daughter. Two days later, a stranger knocks on his door. His name is Tadashi Omura, and he is a former law professor. He tells Jovert stories about his life, and about a man named Katsuo Ikeda, whom he met when they were both children and who later became a successful writer. Set in France, Japan, and Algeria, The Snow Kimono is a jigsaw puzzle of a novel. The stories that Jovert and Omura tell each other fit together in un- predictable ways. Each new story changes the possibilities of what might hap- pen next. Little by little we glimpse how these men have lied to themselves and to each other. These lies are about to catch up with them. A quarter of a century after the best- selling, multi- award- winning Out of the Line of Fire, Mark Henshaw returns with a novel that is both a psychological thriller and an unforgettable meditation on love and loss. Mark Henshaw has lived in France, Germany, Yugoslavia, and the United States. He currently lives in Canberra. His debut, Out of the Line of Fire (1988) was one of the biggest selling Australian literary novels of its decade and was published in France, Germany, and Italy.

Unconventional in its subject matter and un- compromising in its intelligence and emotionality.”— New York Daily News “A beautiful heartbreaker of a musical. . . . Lisa Kron’s book and resonantly precise lyrics give this show its essential spine.”— The New York Times Caption: My Dad and I both grew up in the same small Pennsylvania town. And he was gay. And I was gay. And he killed himself. And I . . . became a lesbian cartoonist. Adapted from Alison Bechdel’s acclaimed graphic memoir, this original new musical gracefully tackles uncharted territory in its exploration of one girl’s unconventional upbringing and coming of age. An enormous hit in its off- Broadway world premiere and a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize, Fun Home is an emotional stunner that asks brave questions about our families and our- selves. The thoroughly lauded musical opens on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theatre in the spring of 2015. Lisa Kron is a playwright and performer whose work has been widely pro- duced in New York, regionally and internationally.

Its big argumentative poetry screams out that history matters.”— The Nation “A brainy, brawny, thematically expansive work, stuffed with challenging socio political ideas and dialectical fireworks. . . . Kushner’s social engagement and his intellectualism are balanced, as always, by his penetrating humanism.” — Hollywood Reporter Gus Marcantonio, a retired longshoreman, summons his adult children home to the family’s Brooklyn brownstone to discuss his recent decision to commit suicide. With his trademark mix of soaring intellect, searing emo- tion, and biting wit, legendary playwright Tony Kushner unfurls an epic tale of revolution, radicalism, family, love, sex, politics, real estate, unions, and debts both unpaid and unpayable. With sweeping themes as hefty as its title, “IHo” (as it has been nicknamed) explores the dense and vexing issues that stem from the betrayal of a failed ideology and the challenges of family con- nectedness. This cerebral mammoth of a play asks what is left when the long- held belief systems that construct and inform one’s identity prove to be empty. Tony Kushner is the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, two Tony Awards, three Obie Awards, two Evening Standard Awards, an Olivier Award, an Emmy Award, two Oscar nominations, and the Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award, among other honors. In 2012, he was awarded a National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama.

Stephen Sondheim's songs, seamlessly melded to James Lapine's text, are perfect expressions of the complications of living in mod- ern society and the difficult choices we encounter on the paths of our lives. Into the Woods premiered on Broadway in 1987, winning three Tony Awards. It has been a beloved favorite on stages throughout the United States and around the world for almost thirty years. On December 25, 2014, Into the Woods was released as a major motion pic- ture, produced by Walt Disney Pictures.

Themes of history and racial politics permeate much of this young play- wright’s astounding work. This collection also includes the acclaimed play An Octoroon, a bombastic theatrical investigation of theater and identity, wherein an old play gives way to a startlingly contemporary piece. The third play, Neighbors, uses old minstrelsy tropes to challenge what makes contemporary so- ciety comfortable, and asserts pointedly that it shouldn’t be. Branden Jacobs- Jenkins’s plays include An Octoroon, Neighbors, Appropriate, Gloria, and War. He is a playwright- in- residence at Signature Theatre.

Renowned for his actor training methods, Tadashi Suzuki provides a thor- ough and accessible formulation of his ideas and beliefs in this new edition of his theater writings. One of the world’s most revered theater directors, Suzuki is also a seminal thinker and practitioner whose work has had a profound in- fluence on theater worldwide. This landmark collection provides a useful, provocative look at his philosophical and practical approaches to the stage. Culture is the Body is a complete revision of Suzuki’s influential book The Way of Acting, featuring new essays and in a revised translation by Kameron Steele, a longtime collaborator of Suzuki’s. Tadashi Suzuki is the founder and director of the Suzuki Company of Toga (SCOT), the organizer of Japan’s first international theater festival (Toga Festival), and the creator of the Suzuki Method of Actor Training. Suzuki has articulated his theories in a number of books. He has taught his system of actor training in schools and theaters throughout the world. Besides productions with his own company, he has directed several international collaborations.

Theater meeting life in a head- on collision. Theater grabbing us by the shirt and smacking us into walls. . . . Don Juan Comes Home from Iraq may become the definitive portrayal of America’s twenty- first- century war experience.”— Philadelphia City Paper “Don Juan Comes Home from Iraq is a powerful anti- war play. It is also powerfully theatrical and emotionally and intellectually challenging. In other words, it’s terrific.”— Philadelphia Inquirer A Marine returns home from war and discovers that his lover is missing. Searching for her, he embarks on a surrealistic tour through the streets and history of Philadelphia. By corrupting linear time and blending scenes be- tween settings, Don Juan Comes Home from Iraq not only challenges perceptions of reality, but also perceptions of individual morality and of war itself. Paula Vogel based her searing new drama on Odon von Horvath’s 1936 play Don Juan Comes Back from the War, and developed it through extensive collaboration with the director and actors of the original production, as well as years of conver- sation and writing workshops with recent military veterans. Paula Vogel’s play, How I Learned to Drive, received the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Lortel Prize, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and New York Drama Critics Awards for Best Play, as well as winning her second Obie.

His ideas and language hold our attention and earn our respect.”— New York “Donald Margulies has an unerring sense of language and the ability to pene- trate deeply into the darkness of tangled human emotions.”— Variety Gathering in their Berkshire home, a family of actors wrestles with fame, art, and (as always) each other. Brought back together for a melancholy purpose, the solemnity is quickly undercut by restless egos and inflamed temperaments. When the events of the weekend go off- script, secrets are spilled and bonds are broken. Inspired by— and often directly referencing—Anton Chekhov’s pasto- ral come dies, this witty and compelling new comedy unfolds in a fragile old home brimming with memories, new love, and discarded dreams.

As raw in its language and raucous in spirit as it is smart and provacative.”—The New York Times “Funny, smutty and enticingly subversive. . . . A toxically satiric portrait of American life.”—The Washington Post “When I told my mother that a theater was putting on my play Bootycandy, her response was, ‘What?! Bootycandy? These white folks are going to let you put on a play called Bootycandy?!? Are they crazy???’ And my response was, ‘Yes. Yes indeed.’”— Robert O’Hara Sutter is on an outrageous odyssey through his childhood home, his church, dive bars, motel rooms, and even nursing homes. The journey uncovers char- acters who are at once fascinating, zany, controversial, and even a bit smutty, painting a portrait of life as a societal outlier. Based on the author’s personal experience, Bootycandy is a kaleidoscope of sketches that interconnects to por- tray growing up gay and black. This subversive, uproarious satire crashes head- long into the murky terrain of pain and pleasure and . . . BOOTYCANDY! Robert O’Hara is a playwright and director.

Playwrights have been trying to write family plays for a long time, too. And typically these plays try to answer endlessly complicated questions of blood and duty and inheritance and responsibility. They try to answer the ques- tion, “Can things really change?” People have been trying nobly for years and years to have plays solve in two hours what hasn’t been solved in many life- times. This has to stop. The Open House is an hour and twenty minutes, with no intermission. Acclaimed playwright Will Eno brings his signature irreverence to this subversive sendup of the archetypal family drama. The Open House won the 2014 Obie Award for Playwriting and the 2014 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play. Will Eno’s most recent plays include The Open House (Signature Theatre, New York, 2014; Obie Award, Lucille Lortel Award for Best Play), Gnit (Humana Festival of New American Plays, 2013) and The Realistic Joneses (Yale Repertory Theatre, New Haven, 2012; Broadway, 2014). His play Middletown received the Horton Foote Prize, and Thom Pain (based on nothing) was a finalist for the 2005 Pulitzer Prize. Eno lives in Brooklyn, New York.

At a crossroads in her own life, Bird travels around the West, talking with wolf watchers, landowners, wildlife managers, conservationists, and hunt- ers about their understandings of what matters most, which almost always is their connection with the natural world. However, the often-conflicting is- sues raised by hunters, ranchers, and politicians prompt Bird’s personal ex- amination of wolf science, myths, and ethics, culminating in her conviction that wolves must be allowed to recover and thrive on our lands. Along the way, Bird begins to unleash her own wild nature, learning to howl and invit- ing us to do the same. Susan Imhoff Bird finds inspiration in Utah’s canyons, valleys, and water- sculpted rock. She can often be found on her bicycle or snowshoes, absorbing the wisdom of the natural world. Bird lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. Howl of Woman and Wolf Susan Imhoff Bird 345 Two Dollar Radio “Funny, brutal and haunting, Haints Stay takes the traditional Western, turns it inside out, eviscerates it, skins it, and then wears it as a duster. This is the kind of book that would make Zane Gray not only roll over in his grave but rise un- dead from the ground with both barrels blazing.”— Brian Evenson “Winnette’s spinning narratives will leave you white- knuckled, gasping, laugh- ing uncomfortably and voraciously, and feeling a good bit more alive than when you started.”— Alissa Nutting Brooke and Sugar are killers. Bird is the boy who mysteriously woke beside them while between towns. For miles, there is only desert and wilderness, and along the fringes, people. The story follows the middling bounty hunters after they’ve been chased from town, and Bird, each in pursuit of their own sense of belonging and jus- tice. It features gunfights, cannibalism, barroom piano, a transgender birth, a wagon train, a stampede, and the tenuous rise of the West’s first one- armed gunslinger. Haints Stay is a new acid Western in the tradition of Rudolph Wurlitzer, Kelly Reichardt’s Meek’s Cutoff, and Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man: meaning it is brutal, surreal, and possesses an unsettling humor. Colin Winnette is the author of Revelation, Animal Collection, and Fondly— which was listed among Salon’s Best Books of 2013. He is an associate editor of PANK Magazine, and conducts a regular interview series for the Believer’s “Logger.” His writing has appeared on BuzzFeed, Electric Literature, and in the Believer.

Old- fashioned storytelling from modern Appalachia. “McClanahan’s prose is miasmic, dizzying, repetitive. A rushing river of words that reflects the chaos and humanity of the place from which he hails. [McClanahan] aims to lasso the moon. . . . He is not a writer of half- measures. The man has purpose. This is his symphony, every note designed to resonate, to linger.”— The New York Times Book Review And so there was the falling and the falling and then the gasping for air— this love which is only a reminder of death— a spell cast to kill one another. Or perhaps it was from long ago in a play that wasn’t a play anymore but an actual garden. And there was a man and there was a woman who were growing old together. And this was their only wish: Let us be young again. I thought about the play and the words of that world.These were not the last lines of a play but words from long ago that someone spoke to a someone— words that sounded like this. I was saying this now.For wherever she was— there was my Eden. The Sarah Book is Scott McClanahan’s continuation of the semi- autobiographical portrait he’s been writing over the years about his life in West Virginia. This one is the portrait of his love there.

Borb by Jason Little (Shutterbug Follies, Motel Art Improvement Service) is the story of a severely alcoholic homeless man, a downtrodden urban Candide whose mis- fortunes pile up at an alarming rate. The narrative is presented as a series of daily newspaper strips as the author pays homage to the depression-era imag- ery of Harold Gray (Little Orphan Annie) and Frank King (Gasoline Alley) and the long and complex tradition of the comic strip slapstick vagabond archetype. At once hilarious, horrifying, and full of heart, Borb depicts the real horrors specific to present- day urban homelessness. Borb is Little's most complex and challenging work. Jason Little is the author of the Bee books: Shutterbug Follies (winner of two Ignatz awards) and Motel Art Improvement Service. His Jack’s Luck Runs Out comic book was the first Xeric winner to be printed in full color. He also teaches in the cartooning program at the School of Visual Arts. Jason lives in Brooklyn with writer Myla Goldberg and their two daughters.

Friends, family, and the urban peoplescape are gathered together in these poems, with more and more poetic voices joining in, and ending with poems written “in collaboration” with Kobayashi Issa, Yosa Buson, Matsuo Basho ¯ , and Hafiz. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LONELIER There is absolutely nothing lonelier than the little Mars rover never shutting down, digging up rocks, so far away from Bond Street in a light rain. I wonder if he makes little beeps? If so he is lonelier still. He fires a laser into the dust. He coughs. A shiny thing in the sand turns out to be his. Matthew Rohrer has received the Hopwood Award for poetry, a Pushcart Prize, was selected as a National Poetry Series winner by Mary Oliver, and was shortlisted for the Griffin International Poetry Prize. He is the co- author, with Joshua Beckman, of Nice Hat. Thanks., and the audio CD Adventures While Preaching the Gospel of Beauty.

The poems, col- lected from out- of- print books, chapbooks, and uncollected work spanning fifty years, form a companion to his recent Stealing Sugar From The Castle: New and Selected Poems. Like The New Moon I Will Live My Life When your privacy is beginning over, How beautiful the things are that you did not notice before! A few sweetclover plants Along the road to Bellingham, Culvert ends poking out of driveways, Wooden corncribs, slowly falling, What no one loves, no one rushes towards or shouts about, What lives like the new moon, And the wind Blowing against the rumps of grazing cows. Telephone wires stretched across water, A drowning sailor standing at the foot of his mother’s bed, Grandfathers and grandsons sitting together.

Mind in Harmony will interest anyone who is curious to know what Buddhism has to say about the mind and how to live an ethical life. Subhuti describes the mind from the Buddhist point of view, and shows how such knowledge can help us live a more satisfactory life. This is also a handbook for those who are seriously interested in the long- established Buddhist system of “mind training,” and offers some of the tools needed to construct a system of mind training for oneself. Subhuti has led meditation retreats in Europe, the United States, and India on the Buddhist texts of the Yogacara Abhidharma, the source of this system of mind training. This book represents the crystallization of that teach- ing experience. Subhuti uses the perennial wisdom of the Abhidharma to illu- minate mental patterns, and so draws a map of the mind that helps us first to recognize and then to transform our inner world and our lives. Subhuti joined the Triratna Buddhist Order in 1973 and has since devoted himself to the practice and teaching of Buddhism. Based in north Wales, he spends part of each year in India, leading retreats and giving lectures. He is the author of The Buddhist Vision, Sangharakshita: A New Voice in the Buddhist Tradition, and Buddhism and Friendship.

After his Enlightenment, the Buddha set out to help liberate the individual, and create a society free from suffering. The economic resources now exist to offer a realistic possibility of providing everyone with decent food, shelter, work, and leisure, to allow each of us to fulfill our potential as human beings, while protecting the environment. What is it in the nature of modern capital- ism which prevents that happening? Can Buddhism help us build something better than our current economic system to reduce suffering and help the individual to freedom? In this thought- provoking work, Vaddhaka Linn ex- plores answers to these questions by examining our economic world from the perspective of Buddhism. Having completed a degree in economics, Vaddhaka Linn initially worked in the United Kingdom in trade unionism, politics, and adult education be- fore joining the Triratna Buddhist Community, in which he has lived and worked since 1994. He now divides his time between the United Kingdom and Estonia, where he teaches and helps to run a Buddhist center.

Komelj is a bit of a chimera: his book in- cludes imagistic lyrics, pastiches of quotes, persona poems, political polemics, and a reasonably faithful translation of Seneca. He references Futurist operas, NATO military action, personal friends, and literary and artistic heroes. His view is wide and deep, but throughout this book, and despite all these shifts in attention and approach, he builds a stable, unique vision.

A dark humor vivifies Zhang Zao’s later work as he eroticizes the harrowing: doubt, finality, and then nothing- ness. The choice of these poems is retrospective: “Mirror,” one of his earliest and best known works starts the collection, while “Lantern Town” was written less than two months before his death. From “Elegy”: a letter opens and someone says it’s getting cold another letter opens it is empty, empty yet heavier than the world a letter opens someone says he is singing from a mountain height someone says no, even if the potato was dead the inertia alive in it would still grow tiny hands another letter opens . . .

An epic voice, dark humor, and historical references from a contemporary exile.
