Mongrel Nation
The first cultural history of African, Asian, and Caribbean immigrants to the United Kingdom from 1948 to the present
Close Listening
Close Listening brings together seventeen strikingly original essays, especially written for this volume, on the poetry reading, the sound of poetry, and the visual performance of poetry. While the performance of poetry is as old as poetry itself, critical attention to modern and postmodern poetry performance has been surprisingly slight. This volume, featuring work by critics and poets such as Marjorie Perloff, Susan Stewart, Johanna Drucker, Dennis Tedlock, and Susan Howe, is the first comprehensive introduction to the ways in which twentieth-century poetry has been practiced as a performance art. From the performance styles of individual poets and types of poetry to the relation of sound ...
All the Whiskey in Heaven
All the Whiskey in Heaven brings together Charles Bernstein’s best work from the past thirty years, an astonishing assortment of different types of poems. Yet despite the distinctive differences from poem to poem, Bernstein’s characteristic explorations of how language both limits and liberates thought are present throughout.

This is poetry for poetry’s sake, as formally radical as it is socially engaged, providing equal measures of aesthetic pleasure, hilarity, and philosophical reflection. Long considered one of America’s most inventive and influential contemporary poets, Bernstein reveals himself to be both trickster and charmer.
Capital in the Twenty-First Century
What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital?

Correspondence
Sophia Dawson's collection of letters and ephemera from incarcerated members of the Black Liberation Movement. The book sheds light on Dawson's journey that inspired her murals, large-scale portraits, videos, sound pieces, and performances. In 2010, Dawson started working on the "To Be Free" project. It captures, through art, the life-stories and experiences of political activists imprisoned in the 60s. Through her work, she attempts to humanize social justice issues through personal stories, raise the profile of each individual political prisoner in the mainstream, inspire, educate, inform, and direct audiences to support the release of political prisoners in the United States.
