    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

    “This 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

    “Aesthetics, Necropolitics, and Environmental Struggle takes a deep look at the
    elephant in the Anthropocene....

    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
    generously takes us to its core/essence. In this three-part collection,
    whether they are socio-politically charged poems,...

    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,...

    The Trial Before the Trial
    Ernest Larsen

    Until now, no one has ever written a book about how the secret grand jury system works in this country from the inside—from the point of view of a grand juror. The Trial before the Trial is that insider’s expose. Ernest Larsen served nine days on a special narcotics grand jury in Manhattan before being forced off—at the insistence of the district attorney—and accused of contempt of court. Why? Because day after day he kept trying to halt what he saw as the exercise of racialized injustice. This book, at once ironic and angry, written in the form of a nonfiction novel, brings to light what really happens on a grand jury, a factual story that takes place just a few months before the events in Ferguson, Missouri and the rise of Black Lives Matter.

    “For years, now, Autonomedia has published some of the most provocative political thinking we’ve seen from a small press....

    wall street in black & white: fotos & text of an occupier
    jim costanzo, aaron burr society
    The Aaron Burr Society believes it should be obvious that the People, not corporations, and not billionaires, must redefine the Common Good and decide how to use our Commonwealth to address the humanitarian and environmental crisis of the 21st Century. These prose-poem rants and striking photos by Jim Costanzo of the Aaron Burr Society document his participation in the Occupy Wall Street Movement, and seek to further the Society’s aims: bottom-up economics for social justice, local cooperative economies and environmental sustainability.
