After the Holocene Planetary Politics For Commoners, by Gene Ray
Capitalist modernity has ended the Holocene. The epoch of planetary
heating and climate chaos has begun. Business-as-usual is
leading to hothouse earth and mass extinction, but how to pull the
emergency brake on the extraction and techno-acceleration regime?
Alternatives exist, but the capitalist classes are blocking them. This
book argues that one such alternative, commoning, offers first steps
on a pathway to metabolic sanity and collective self-rescue. As the
mutualist and more-than-human association of direct producers,
commons ecologies will be a necessary and buildable factor in the
strategic struggle to disarm, power down and abolish capitalism.ISBN:9781570274244 226pp. 5.5”x8.5” $19.95

In the Beginning: Essay-Poems and Others, by Kirkpatrick Sale
In this ground-breaking book, Kirkpatrick Sale, the author of sixteen previous books of prose, explores a new artform: the essay-poem. Selecting key sections from his various books, Sale has turned them into poems in iambic pentameter, verses that retain the original insights but which are here presented in a smooth and rhythmical form. Also included are some new and uncollected standard poems.
“Kirkpatrick Sale is one of those writers whose pen will always set the imaginaton alight regardless of his topic.” — Fourth World Review
“The author’s lucid, rigorous prose is a delight, whether he is narrating perilous passages… or steering us through the hazards of learned disputes.” — The New Yorker
“His topics of concern are broad and expansive, just as they always bring the reader back to basic valuing of community, nature and sustainability. Honest, forthright, and so clear in his perception that you can’t help but be affected by them.” — Chellis Glendinning
“Sale is an invaluable guide and teacher.” — The Economist
“If it’s radical and leading edge,...

8.5 x 11 inches, 42 pages, paperbound, $10The Reservoir: Communion, by Woodbine
Price: $12.00
“Either we submit to the dissociative logic of the web, or we turn to forms of defending embodied life.”
Communion is the second issue of Woodbine’s printed journal The Reservoir, featuring new texts by Kazembe Balagun, Elizabeth Povinelli, Geert Lovink, Kristin Ross, Experimental Jetset, and Marcello Tarì, as well as a previously unpublished interview with Félix Guattari.
From the introduction: “The theme for this issue, Belief and the Communal, was a question to ourselves – not just a documentation of who and what we are, but a critical consideration of who we would like to be. To speak of belief carries with it the sense not just of logic but of faith. History tells us that successful experiments in communal life often have an organizing belief. They have a shared faith. But when our structures of life are oriented around the instrumental and utilitarian, the non-religious and secular, how can we re-enchant the world,...
