Paintings by Jeramy Turner“It is a general principle among social justice movements that in our activism and protest we should not personalize. It is not “so & so” who is ultimately responsible for the crimes committed, but the logic of the system, that compels individuals to go with the current: for example, cutting wages to the bone or go down, in a competitive battle now of global proportions.

Yet, it takes particular human beings to implement the rules. Those who sign the bills that will impoverish entire populations or contaminate seas, forests, the waters that millions will drink are people of flesh and bone, and it is against them that Jeramy Turner turns her anger and contempt, with a relentless visual narrative demonstrating their perversity and inevitable defeat.
Few painters today are so consistent in their denunciation of the power structure as Turner has been. Indeed, all her paintings are moved by a profound sense of justice which translates into a fierce denunciation of the architects of the misery so many experience across the world....Aesthetics, Necropolitics and Environmental Struggle

Aesthetics, Necropolitics and Environmental Struggle
Critical Art Ensemble“With typical sangfroid, CAE dissects the beast of our own making: the
Anthropocene. Clarifying the philosophical roots of the Euro-American
confusion about nature, this text offers severe and essential medicine for
coming to terms with our ecological predicament.”
Claire Pentecost, professor, School of the Art Institute of Chicago“Th is book presents a perspective about the environmental crisis that I
suspected was there but couldn’t put my finger on. Follow these authors
deep into one of the biggest cultural lacunas of our day: necropolitics. is
book fully abandons solutionist bull in favor of a measured approach
grounded only in what we know. Read it, weep, and then kick ass. Once
again, CAE has blown my fucking mind.”Mike Bonanno, The Yes Men

Welcome Distractions: Accessible Poems for Time-Strapped Humans
Carol Wierzbicki
“The towers fall and Mary Tyler Moore tosses her beret into the air,”
says Wierzbicki in “9/11 Paradox.” Paradoxes like “inertia drives the working
masses” inhabit these poems. Wierzbicki constantly puts her finger on the
workings of societal insanities so institutionally ingrained they cannot be
questioned. There can be no reasonable dialogue because, as she puts it in
“Age,” we are in a place “where we all speak different languages and yet push
the same buttons.” The experience of reading this book is crucial for our
times; the poems are a cagily “accessible” balm for what ails us. — Stephen
Paul Miller, author of any lie you tell will be the truth (Marsh Hawk Press)Wierzbicki successfully challenges the notion of what poetry is as she

Flasher: A Memoir
Tsaurah Litzky“The only porn i read is Tsaurah Litzky’s. It has the necessary je ne sait toit.” — Tuli Kupferberg, co-founder, the Fugs, author of Teach Yourself Fucking
“Tsaurah Litzky is fully exposed. Flasher moves the reader quickly with incisive prose that places you immediately in the moment. This is a beautiful history of New York, old and new, experienced through the life of one woman living unconventionally; balancing lovers, family and bohemia, with a passion for desire and all things lusty and strange.” — Chavisa Woods, author of The Albino Album; Love Does Make Make Me Gentle or Kind; and Things to Do When You’re Goth in the Country
“The bawdy tales that make up Tsaurah Litzky’s memoir serve as the perfect antidote to the fear and loathing gripping America’s psyche today. Flasher is funny, poignant, sexy, philosophical and one hell of a good read.” — Danny Dhot,...
