"For any who might have doubted that the
human brain is the most explosively articulate of
expert systems or feared that the best minds of
our re-generation are being devoured by the
Internet, this is the howl of the 90s, a poetic
rallying cry for humane technology."

HOT OFF THE PRESS
from Thomas Rain Crowe:
| THE END OF EDEN
Writings of an
Environmental Activist
Thomas Rain Crowe
with illustrations by
Robert Johnson
ISBN: 1-893239-80-7
$16.00 |
The essays of Thomas Rain Crowe
combine with the stirring illustrations
of Robert Johnson to produce a prophetic
vision of the world in which we live--a
vision of what we have and what we stand
to loose through our careless disregard
for the Earth and its finite resources.
A kind of activist’s handbook, this is one
man’s attempts at saving his homeland
from mindless hedonism, outside invasion,
and outright denial--writing as if there might
be enough universal truth to be of some
use to others experiencing similar incursions
in their own locales.
"Straightforward and heartfelt in his writing
Crowe does not expect everyone to unplug
and head for the woods as he once did, but
the lessons he learned contain valuable truths
that we ignore at our peril. Like Thoreau, he
is a chanticleer, hoping to wake us up."
- John Sledge
Mobile Register
"Robert Johnson is a profoundly gifted artist
filled with originality, intelligence and integrity.
Following in the footsteps of Frederic Church,
his artwork is an exhilarating tribute to our
natural world. He promotes a connection to the
environment that inspires the viewer with a
profound
sense of belonging."
- John Cram

RARE BIRDS: Conversations With Music Legends
"Rare Birds is a valuable look into the variety of
contemporary American music--encompassing
philosophy, social history, aesthetics, terrific
anecdotes, and, above all, the wonderful work
that emanates from these six very different creators."

ISBN: 978-1-883197-14-8
Price: $14.95

Poetry.
Nature. East-West traditions.
Richard Lewis with SHAKING THE GRASS FOR
DEW, his first collection of original work, can be seen, perhaps, as
the modern Western equivalent of the great nature poets of the
East--Wang Wei and Han-Shan come to mind. Richard Lewis writes a kind
of surreal metaphysics untamed and unlike anything being written in
America today. The Neruda of Tao-inspired poems, Lewis's longer
Issa-like, haiku-like poems are fresh with the dew from whence they
came: a place deep in the spirit of nature. An amazing and timely
vision coming from someone who has lived most of his life in New York
City.
CROSSING COWEE MOUNTAIN
Barbara R. Duncan
21 Sep 2008
New Native Press
ISBN:: 978-1-883197-16-2
Price: $8.00 |  |
Poetry. Appalachian Studies.
The author of two previous award-winning
books on Cherokee culture, Barbara R. Duncan's first collection of
poems extends her talents as a songwriter into the literature of the
southern Appalachians in a way reminiscent of work that came out of the
Fugitive movement over a generation ago. Her attention to detail of
flora and fauna and allegiance to tradition, shows why she is one of
the most honored folklorists in America. These poems are as heartfelt
and passionate as they are gentle and place-provoking.

What Co$t Freedom?
$6, 14 pages, paper, limited edition "With
What Co$t Freedom?, Michael Revere has unleashed a poem that can only
be described as a modern-day Book of Revelations. A "Howl" for our
times, it is at once spiritual and secular, capturing both the sacred
and the profane. Hip and holy, Hop and horror, it is a cautionary tome
that is, if nothing else, a wake-up call for humanity during these
forboding times when the appeal of laissez-faire capitalism seems to be
stronger than common sense, stronger than survival." - Thomas Rain Crowe
Poems From Snow Hill Road
$8, 40 pages, paper, limited edition
"First book by poet-ecoactivist Brent Martin.
One of the best small books about place I've ever seen.
Written from and about the community where he lives in
rural western North Carolina, Snow Hill Road
shines with the confidence of personal metaphors that
bring the people and the hills alive. A mature start for
a mature poet." -Thomas Rain Crowe

"NatureS"
by Jeff Davis
New

Paperback: 91 pages / $12.50
ISBN:
1-883197-22-8
Poetry/Literature/Appalachian Studies
From the
back cover:
"Way
back when, a literary gent by the name of E.L. Pound,
from Hailey, Idaho, announced to the world: "I
divide poetry into what I can read and what I cannot
read." I am new to Jeff Davis's work but hit'll
read!!! It reminds me that writers named Robert Creeley
and Charles Olson once taught at Black Mountain College
in Buncombe County NC - and made a difference." - Jonathan
Williams
"rEdlipsticK"
by Ted Pope
New
Native Press (2006)
Paperback: 61 pages / $12.50
ISBN:
1-883197-20-1
Poetry/Literature/World Cultures
From the
back cover:
A hybrid
combination of wise old sage and someone teeting on the
edge describes Ted Pope in performance. On the page his
work, likewise, combines ancient wisdom and that which is
out of control. A walking contradiction, he is infused
with a kind of charge rarely experienced, either onstage
or on the page, in any time or space, in any culture or
Age. In his word, his writing is imbued with an
extra-terrestrial grounding that, for the reader, brings
on vertigo while being in love with flight. And fly he
does!
From
ancient Egypt to the netherworlds of the subconscious,
Ted Pope's rEdlipsticK takes us on a
journey of imagination bordering on legend. "Hang
on!" he says, "and leave the flying to
us."
