    40th Century Man
    Selected Poems, 1996–1966
    Andy Clausen

    “Andy Clausen’s character voice is heroic, a vox populi of the democratic unconscious. His comments on the enthusiastic Sixties, defensive Seventies, unjust Eighties and bullying Nineties present a genuine authority in America not voiced much in little magazine print, less in newspapers of record, never in political theatrics through Oval Office airwaves. The expensive bullshit of Government TV poetics suffers diminution of credibility placed side by side with Mr. Clausen’s direct information and sad raw insight. Would he were, I’d take a chance on a President Clausen!” — Allen Ginsberg

    Between Dog and Wolf
    Essays on Art & Politics
    David Levi Strauss
    Second edition, with Prolegomenon by Peter Lamborn Wilson

    In his first collection of essays, David Levi Strauss addresses the always conflicted relation between aesthetics and politics by concentrating on specific instances – from allopathic art to Desert Storm propaganda, from Columbus’s legacy to Robert Smithson’s prophesies, and from new art in post-Soviet Russia to public art in the United States – and by focusing on the work of artists as various as Grunewald, Jean Genet, Cindy Sherman, Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol, Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Mizonville, Carolee Schneemann, Andrei Monastyrsky, and Daniel Joseph Martinez.”We can learn with him. He knows how to resist, he’s a good guide across frontiers, he stays calm, he hates the New World Order and its no-future. Critic as coyote. Listen with him!” – John Berger”An uncommon assertion of cultural critique and topical apercus, ranging from chronic pain in our era to Columbus’s discovery of the Third World....

    Anarchitexts
    Voices from the Global Digital Resistance
    Edited by Joanne Richardson

    Anarchitexts brings together a global mix of voices from the new “underground”: engaged artists intervening in local struggles on the streets, media producers promoting technologies based on sharing and cooperation rather than privatization and competition, activists participating in global networks built through electronic democracies and decentralized forms of cooperation, and extraordinary people creating an alternative society through their everyday practices. As a matter of principle Anarchitexts reflects the first-hand perspective of those involved at the point of production, not distanced reflections by critics, specialists, or armchair theorists.

    Carnival of Chaos
    On the Road with the Nomadic Festival
    Sascha Debrul

    Congeries of heretical, drunken pirates from the Lower East Side roamed the country in 1995, stirring up guerilla parties and workshops, trying to build a new world from the waste of a soulless society, and wondering how to pay for the next gallon of gas. This collection of stories and illustrations paints the triumphs and misadventures of the Nomadic Festival at breakneck speed, and offers ideas and inspiration for the next outlaw orgy.
