Degenerative Prose is outlaw writing with a terrorist heart. The missives published here represent an explosive mix of avant-pop fiction, e-mail viruses, anti-aesthetic manifestoes, dissident comix, aberrant essays, eloquent rants, mock interviews, and phony contributor notes. An interventionist attack on the banality of mainstream culture, Degenerative Prose tears down the reign of genre and dares the reader to use these previously unpublished narrative strategies to deconstruct all the digital hype permeating the sonic landscape. A witches' brew of cult-writing stirs within these pages and includes characters with names like Ken Dorfberg, Norman Conquest, Eurudice, Ricardo Cortez Cruz, Bob's Media Ecology, Terry Southern, Rikki Ducornet, and Steve Katz..

A group of people, trying to contend with the failure of hope that took place at the end of the sixties; withdraws from what they call "The Dynasty of the Million Lies" and creates a settlement in the woods of the far west. These refugees from our culture, trying to live a healthy, normal life as pioneers of a latter-day frontier, find they are forced to pay heavily for their retreat in terms of sexuality, death and insanity. The novel consists of three parts: "Frankenstein", "The Children of Frankenstein", and "Palestine". The first section is a disjointed documentary collage expressing the violent chaos of the culture, the second is a narrative about the settlement with its communal and sexual experimentation, and the third, "Palestine", is a utopian vision of Israel that takes place on a perfect kibbutz in which all problems are solved. 98.6 is a novel that marks the end of a generation of hope without giving in to hopelessness. .

The author himself is the main character of this book, in which he glides undisturbed from present to future, from reality to fantasy Sometimes he's an adolescent Brooklynite, at other times a part-time English teacher, a struggling writer living in a Lower East Side tenement, or a fantasist deftly moving in and out of numerous alter egos. **Lightning Print On Demand Title.

Thousands of poets from across the Americas have recited their works on the stage of the Guild Complex, Chicago's internationally renowned, cross-cultural literary center. The anthology "Powerlines: A Decade of Poetry from Chicago's Guild Complex," celebrates the first ten years of the award-winning literary center and its publishing wing, Tia Chucha Press, through the words of some of the poets who provided the artistic foundation upon which the organization was built. Every week at the Complex poets from every imaginable layer of society open themselves up to the audience. They lay their hearts and minds on the stage for strangers and friends to inspect. They pick apart the world around them. They extend themselves and search for answers and questions in a communal ritual called a poetry reading. Their words mix Dow-Jones averages with turned out blues, revolutionary chants with appeals for love, outrage at injustice with razor-sharp satire, a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo protesting racism and war, a child's cry against abuse, the meaning of a cicada's sleep, and joy in the sound of a B-flat note. In isolation, the millions of words that have been spoken at the Complex simply hang and then dissipate. But there is an accumulative meaning in the array of voices and ideas that have flowed from the stage. "Powerlines" makes sense of a decade of words.

Poets include Gwendolyn Brooks, Adrienne Rich, Quincy Troupe, Sandra Cisneros, Piri Thomas, Reginald Gibbons, Kimiko Hahn, Elizabeth Alexander, Ana Castillo, Angela Jackson, Haki Madhubut, Patricia Smith, David Hernandez, Michael Anania, Sterling Plumpp, Martha Vertreace, Jack Hirschman, Paul Hoover, Cin Salach, Diane Glancy, Richard Jones, Eugene Redmond, Rohan Preston, Afaa Weaver, Martin Espada, Wanda Coleman, Lisel Mueller, and many others..

Using verite techniques like tape recording and "sampling, " Mosaic Man retells the life of one Ron Sukenick a la Henry Miller as he simultaneously stitches together his identity as a writer and a Jew. Spanning a range from rough sex to quasi-theological speculation, from moral injunction to liberating candor, the book is a mosaic of episodes making the case that in the postmodern world the parts are the whole. Like Sukenick's influential first novel, UP, Mosaic Man is a major work that continues his lifelong preoccupation with the quest for truth through fiction..
