Our first book this fall is Susan M. Schultz's masterful Meditations: December 2019 - December 2020. A set of lyrical prose meditations on daily life and thought upended and made strange by the events of 2020.
“I’m blown away by Susan M. Schultz’s Meditations, a profound work of wisdom and resistance literature in times of escalating precarity for many. . . Schultz invites readers . . . to accompany the poet in her radical attentiveness to our contemporary moment’s fracture, which yields also its capacity for irony, openness, neighbourliness and care. A remarkable work and a wild pleasure to read.” —Beth Yahp

Next up this season is a chapbook of hillbilly dada poetry called Everybody Lives Here One Night at a Time by David Earl Williams. A tasty slice of the supra-real, the surreal, the post-real and the un-real all wrapped up sloppy in greasy paper and set on fire in your consciousness.
"I advise you to get a box of soap and stand on it. Find a street corner in Boston Mass. But keep a brick under your box. Cause you never know when you might be called on to throw a brick . . ." — Rohn Thomas

Our third title this fall is the paperback (and eBook) edition of Ninso John High's epic metaphysical novel, Scrolls of a Temple Sweeper.
“A one-eyed monk known as the Temple Sweeper tells another monk, called Enduring Sound, about his past in fragmented soliloquies, stories and poems…a fairy-tale philosophical reflection on Buddhist themes of compassion, forgiveness, reincarnation, and the oneness of being and non-being . . . The vivid lyricism of High’s writing makes for an engrossing read. " —Kirkus Reviews
