SMELLING MARY by Heller Levinson. (ISBN 978-1-882863-98-3) Hinge Poetics/poetry; 6"x9", 206 pages, premium softbound w/double covers --color outer, black inner. Featuring 9 color pages; edited, designed & illustrated by Michael Annis. Includes discussion on Hinge Theory by Mary Newell and Andre Spears. "Heller Levinson has created an archaeological dictionary of poetic implications which are the source for Smelling Mary. These are encyclopedic visionary allusions to a literary state fighting for its democratically creative independence. A wonderful, fun book, full of notions of abstraction, word rearrangements, on the road insinuations & kneecap hinges of flexible connections."--Jayne Cortez. "With 'Hinge Theory,' Heller Levinson presents us with a gift, the magnitude of which will become evident with the passage of time. He is to poetry as Thelonious Monk is to jazz: a master of thoughtful composition and spontaneous invention." --Joe Giglio, jazz guitarist.

Perpetual Revolt champions causes of pluralism, compassion, peace and justice. Comprised of essays, interviews, photos, speeches, and art, it also features interviews with Amy Goodman of "Democracy Now!" and Jesse Colin Young, musician and activist. Nall's primary purpose is to call for spiritual, religious, & secular progressives to unite against war, intolerance, and fundamentalism of all stripes. "While leaders in Washington prepare to wage perpetual war, Jeff Nall's eloquent and inspiring book calls for waging perpetual revolt: revolt against war, corporate greed, narrow- mindedness, and apathy."--Benjamin Dangl, author of The Price of Fire: Resource Wars and Social Movements in Bolivia. RETAIL, $22.95; Order from Howling Dog Press: $15.95, plus $3.00 shipping.

WHEN by David Ray. (ISBN 978-1-882863-80-8) Poems & meditations. 6"x9", OMEGA Editions; 108 pages, softbound w/double covers --color outer, black inner. Cover artwork by Isabel Koprowicz. Designed by Judy Ray & Michael Annis. When is award-winning poet David Ray's 21st book. Gathered here are poems that express deep concern for the earth and humanity; poems and meditations that explore connections through biography; and poems that haunt with love and grief. "It is fitting that David Ray has twice been given an award named for William Carlos Williams. Though Ray is quite capable of a sestina or a long haiku-sequence, his poems are not conspicuously technical ... poem after poem is a truly fresh occasion, and some of that variety is owing, I think, to an admirable honesty and recklessness of feeling." -- Richard Wilbur "David Ray remains among the best half-dozen poets in the English language today." --Chinua Achebe.

THE BONE TRAIN by Katherine West. (ISBN 978-1-882863-70-9) Poems. 6"x9", OMEGA Editions; 112 pages, softbound w/double covers --color outer, black inner. Cover art by Michael Bergt. Designed & edited by Michael Annis. The Bone Train transports 61 bones, passionately fleshed, filleted by the delicacies of death, the dread within desperation, abandonment, the tone & ritual mar of struggle. As desire calls out to the melodic bones of nightmare, quietude lurks like dead flowers on the grave of lovers. Hunted down and plucked like a ripe fig, a romantic heart in remission wades through quarantined cities of love and war and snow. Katherine West's ascending and descending stanzas resonate with rage and existential alienation. The poems in The Bone Train were written during a period of re-entry into US culture, between her witness of civil war in Guatemala and the beginning of the war upon Iraq, and reflect all the love, compassion, disappointment and horror attendant upon such a homecoming.

I READ YOU GREEN, MOTHER by Will Inman. (ISBN 978-1-882863-81-5) Poems. 6"x9", 64 pages, softbound. Cover art by David Chorlton. Edited by David Ray and Judy Ray. Designed by Judy Ray. I Read You Green, Mother brings together poems dictated in recent months with others written over the decades. As Will Inman describes the process of writing poetry, "... you dive with a black stone into the abyss, you risk all ... you create a living tapestry, a whole soul.... Taking the total surrender of blind dive ... is a hell of a truer, deeper risk than doing it in a drugs or drink destructive plunge...whole galaxies can explode and still be part of the larger universal harmony.... you're like Whitman: you contain multitudes, they're great dynamic forces, but your kind of awareness also carries whole futures in its unfolding. This has nothing to do with 'being great' or getting credit for genius or any of that, it is organic with hurricanes, earthquakes, the great cries of human pain, the tornadic leaps of hope and fury working in each other."...

THE DEATH OF SARDANAPALUS & Other Poems of the Iraq Wars by David Ray. (ISBN 1-882863-55-0) Poems. 6"x9", Brave New World Order Books; 240 pages, softbound w/dust jacket. Designed & edited by Michael Annis. When most other writers, poets, and journalists were either too intimidated, too duped and gullible, or too complicit to challenge the lies, deceits, and plotting of George W. Bush and his neo-Cons, David Ray wrote and published incessantly on the crimes of the 43rd president and his henchmen, as they tore down international relations while shredding the US Constitution. From 2001 through 2004, he chronicled in poetry the methodical rape of the Land of Liberty through the Bushian/Rovian war upon the people of Iraq and the citizens of the United States. These poems speak an unwavering truth to corrupted power, illuminating the demise of nations when the wealthy who have no loyalty to anything but more riches commandeer a democracy and imprison the republic in the chains of their aristocratic ideology, under the false pretense of 'end times' theology. "There's nothing like this book in American poetry today, for it is the skilled work of the craftsman whose fine ear and deft control distinguish every poem, all of which cry out against the barbarism of war and the stupid cruelties of those who make it. From the clever metaphoric transition of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to the deeply moving elegy to Wilfred Owen, this collection of intense lyrics shines with intelligence and passion." --F.D. Reeve. RETAIL, $21.95; Order from Howling Dog Press: $12.95, with free shipping.

COMING WORLDGONE WORLD: (The Abomanauts Are Coming to Piss on Your Lawn) by Paul Corman-Roberts. (ISBN 1-882863-72-0) Poems. 6"x9", Brave New World Order Books; 122 pages, softbound w/double covers, black inner/color outer. Designed & edited by Michael Annis. Art by Margo Kren and Anna Knox. From Iraq to Katrina to the Sri Lanka tsunami, Corman-Roberts' poetic vision of governmental social ills and corporate greed is herded full bore into the barbed wire fence of political resistance. Humorous, ironic, passionate, intelligent, defiant and visionary, these poems swirl and churn through the reader's mind, challenging every pre-conception and pre-supposition of equilateral equanimity on the earth. "Paul Corman-Roberts soars through the beatitudes with a keen mind, a good ear, and a full heart. Poetry can ask for nothing better. Still young, he has a lot of good words already, and has shaped them into poems that matter. Readers who follow him now will be rewarded even more in the years to come." --Neeli Cherkovski, poet and author of Hank, Bukowski: A Life, Whitman's Wild Children, Elegy for Bob Kaufman.

RIGHT WING POLITICS & RELIGION: The Unholy Alliance Exposed by Henry Bechthold. (ISBN 1-882863-71-2) Non-fiction exposé of politics and religion. 6"x9", 220 pages, softbound. Designed & edited by Michael Annis. Art by Joe Rebholz. What goes on behind "closed doors" among the hierarchy of the Chrisitan right-wing? According to Henry Bechthold, a Christian pastor with over 25 years in the pulpit, the Right's standard operating procedure is outright lying to achieve Machiavellian ends, whether in their neighborhoods, the US Congress, on television with a million viewers, or in the White House. Greed, financial abuse, pre-meditated deception, hypocrisy, sadism, and disinformation campaigns abound. Bechthold gives an insider's view of the corrupt nature of right-wing Christianity, conclusively proving that Christian leaders--whether a Haggard or a Dobson or a Bush--contort and twist Biblical principles to exploit others. Routine corruption and manipulative behavior in hypocritical violation of the codes they impose on others betray the arrogant disdain these leaders have for their supporters and the government of the United States.

MORE ATOMS OF MEMORY by Oswald Le Winter. (ISBN 1-882863-67-4) Poetry. 6"x9", 154 pages, softbound w/double covers. Designed & edited by Michael Annis. A rare collection from one of the true masters of the art, first published in Germany, then reprinted by HDP in an expanded edition. "Le Winter is an American Rimbaud..." --Saul Bellow. "Oswald Le Winter's poetry is elegiac. In the best tradition of poets like Yeats and Thomas Hardy, Le Winter mourns the loss of a very private world in a clear and compelling language that makes both the world and his loss accessible to the reader." -- Hans Sahl, German poet and critic. "A poetry that brings together the richness of European philosophical poetry, I am thinking of Goethe, Holderin, and Dante, with the muscularity of the American idiom more successfully than any poet of this generation." -- Robert Lowell. "Le Winter is that rare poet, like Rilke, Yvan Goll and Yehuda Amichai, whose poetic sensibility is at home in two languages with equal skill and clarity..."-- Jury statement, the International Rilke Prize.

LOOKING FOR BIGFOOT by Mike Palecek. (ISBN 1-882863-60-7) Fiction. 6"x9", 272 pages, softbound w/double covers. Designed & edited by Michael Annis. Illus. by Montgomery Borror and Leslie Aguillard. Like Upton Sinclair before him, Palecek goes after the status quo mythology of America, stripping to bare wires the misanthropic character of a United States possessed by religious fear and political superstition. In this epic novel, Jack Robert King is America's misfit malcontent. His internet radio program broadcasts all the reasons why his country is guilty of the most heinous crimes imaginable, from global warming and environmental desolation to assassinations of its best political leaders, to fiery liquidations of dissidents, to thefts of elections, to greedy plots trading oil for the blood of young Americans, to conspiracy in the holocaust attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. But Jack King has hope. If he can find Bigfoot, he can work through any bling-bling fantasyland of corporate tyranny. Former prisoner, former reporter, full-time misanthrope, friendless and desperate, he leaves his job and family in Iowa and journeys to Oregon on his quest to find the great hairy beast of the Pacific Northwest. Voted "Best Fiction" of 2005 by January Magazine, Canada. RETAIL, $16.95; Order from Howling Dog Press: $12.95, with free shipping.

SURFINGS: Selected Poems of Will Inman by Will Inman. (ISBN 978-1-882863-69-0) Poems. 6"x9", 136 pages, softbound. Edited by David Ray and Michael Rattee. Cover art by David Chorlton. Designed by Michael Annis. A TRUE CLASSIC: Will Inman's first volume of selected works compiled from over a half-century of persistent excellence and loving devotion to the art of poetry. "Will and I corresponded for years, and his verse had a passionate love of life and unrivaled originality, an outrage against injustice and oppression, and was more powerfully expressed than anyone else's poetry of his generation. He went off on his own to write poetry that remains an untamed indictment against this age of greed and mass imprisonment--its level of intellectual depth strong enough to guarantee it will be read for a very long time. I'm glad a definitive collection of Will's works is now out from Howling Dog Press, one of the best presses around..." --Jimmy Santiago Baca. "Will Inman's poetry is informed by a lifetime of compassionate social engagement--from the War Resisters League to working with the homeless--and composed with an educated ear for natural idiom, cadence and image that W.C. Williams or Denise Levertov would admire. This is poetry that is earned, a rich vein in Whitman's grand tradition..." -- Sam Hamill.

ToxiCity: Poems of the Coconut Vulva by Heller Levinson. (ISBN 1-882863-86-0) Poetry; 6"x9", 136 pages, softbound w/double covers. Designed & edited by Michael Annis. Cover art by Margo Kren; frontispiece "Wanda" by Ed Paschke. This collection has been derived from Levinson's best poems formerly published in magazines and chapbooks, with new poems included. Rabelaisian in wit and the sheer breadth of its pop vision vs. historical knowledge; heady, satirical, sad, serpentine, ejaculative and sexually wrangling, it will be marveled at by generations to come. Levinson writes as a man whose I.Q. has been hardwired into a 220 v. circuit. "The unremitting roll of apocalyptic language continues throughout the book. There's brawl and confusion aplenty, and also history and geology, & war & commerce, & biology and religions aplenty, all blazoned forth in language explosive and expressive..."--Philip Appleman. "Heller Levinson has emitted an Alien Sensibility, not in terms of Saturn or the 10th object around the sun, but as regards imaginal radiance and fervour..." --Will Alexander.

SANCTUARY FOR ALL LIFE by Jim Corbett. (ISBN 1-882863-86-0) Non-fiction, Ecological responsibility, comparative ancient philosophical studies; 6"x9", 330 pages, softbound w/dust jacket. Edited and with an introduction by Daniel Baker. Designed by Michael Annis. Cover art by Virginia L. Moyer. Compiled & published posthumously; Jim Corbett's final political and ecological statements and philosophical reflections on living in communion with the earth, its human populations, its species, and its resources. "There are a few individuals in every age who live outside their own time. Galileo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Sor Juana de la Cruz, and ... Jim Corbett. The great prophets often come from some dusty, out-of-the-way, God-forsaken corner of the world ... like Bethlehem or, in Jim's case, the Sonoran Desert hinterlands. God willing, Jim Corbett's Sanctuary for All Life will be considered in two hundred years as holy writ..."--Rose Marie Berger, Assoc. Ed. Sojourners magazine. "Jim Corbett was one of the few completely original, prophetic thinkers I have had the honor to know personally, but he was also deeply grounded in spiritual traditions. Not only was he a co-founder of the Sanctuary Movement, but Jim fostered pioneering rancher- environmentalist collaborations .... Sanctuary for All Life is the most cohesive vision of Jim's domain of care-giving, and the one which feels most like those conversations out in the desert heat among kindred souls long ago..."--Gary Nabham, author of Coming Home to Eat and Cultures of Habitat.

"Beautiful foil covers, extraordinarily printed, striking, visually elaborate, with broadsides suitable for hanging, STILETTO is a gorgeous book, a dense, dense book--multi-themes laced together by spiritual and artistic glue, exhibiting a wide range of styles and literary forms. The writing is absolutely uncompromising. Defines the perceptions by which an artist is forced to live and endure. Libertarian, focused, intense, brooding subtleties and social themes--Chaos giving birth to itself across the face of the land--work we associate with profound social change..."--Michael Silverblatt, KCRW-FM's Bookworm Show, Los Angeles. "STILETTO exemplifies Kerouac's 'unspeakable visions of the individual.' Audacious. It looks & reads like nothing else..."--Borderline. "Wonderful and enigmatic, STILETTO is figuratively and literally heavy. Many issues are taken up: social oppression, environmentalism, love, sex, money. You have to take your time and walk slowly through the terrain. There is a lot of geometry here--almost too much to talk about. STILETTO is great, MYTHIC in concept and reality..."--The Raven Chronicles. RETAIL, $24.95 to $50.00; Order from Howling Dog Press: $11.95, plus $3.00 shipping.

WAILING IN HEAVEN,WHISTLING IN HELL: New and Selected Works, 1969-1996 by Gregory Greyhawk. Designed and edited by Michael Annis. (ISBN 1-882863-50-X) 6"x9", 200 pages w/ broadside-style full color galley-fold printed both sides, softbound black leatherette w/gold foil stamping and hand-tipped cover art by Michael Bergt. Poems, essays, short fiction, written in English, Latin, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and Huron iconography, with collaborative art and photographs. Two books become one, two front covers, no back cover, everything is designed to meet in the center perfectly balanced, spinning around its existential core. Calligraphy by David Ashley. Interior artwork by Michael Annis, Michael Bergt, Ray Denonville, Michael Florian Jilg, Josephine Sacabo, and Kristen Struebing-Beazley. How estranged the human race is from itself, and how we pollute one another with easy conjecture, lazy attempts at self-realization, faulty philosophies and contrived self-importances are the recurring themes that conjoin the landscapes of Gregory Greyhawk's Wailing in Heaven, Whistling in Hell. Just perhaps the realms of Heaven and Hell, like the S-curve that separates light from dark in the Taoist yin-yang, are not so far removed from one another, in fact, like little eyes, may occasionally intrude into each other's territory. We are our own myths. We are our own iconoclasts. We are Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan, 20 years after the fact. Gregory Greyhawk thunders through our mental/emotional territory as if he had been handed its keys by Pancho Villa, Geronimo, or Charlemagne. Yet, his is a message which is neither bound by time and circumstance, nor the dictates of religion or politics, but which molds and clarifies destiny--his own, and that which is shared by a fractured and dissipated human race. In Greyhawk's world, we are the predators, we are the hunted, and now we may be honest about it. Wyandot/ Huron/ French-Canadian, hockey pro, Marine Corps sniper in Vietnam, rail jumper, 3rd mate on the Great Lakes and the high seas, Greyhawk strikes dead center with multi-lingual precision and profound intellectual veracity.

VOICES IN SOFT SCULPTURE by Michael Annis, playwright and designer. Dramatic stage play. (ISBN 0-932845-20-7) 6"x9", 154 pages, softbound). "All of your youth has gone now in a silence of facts to die..." so begins this play written in memory of Dylan Annis and in behalf of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy. In the context of Voices in Soft Sculpture, Celine's quote is, possibly, even more tragically appropriate as it launches the innermost tempest of emotionally charged philosophical angst of a man who, at his own son's funeral, is attempting to convey what overwhelming torture it has been to witness his son's devastation from the cruelest of all diseases, Muscular Dystrophy. His character splits profusely into many facets, forming a dozen Voices at war with one another as they attempt to make sense of the profound desolation of one young human being. "If you can empathize, you will weep as Michael Annis boldly confronts the human tragedy in this work. You will be awed, as we always are, when an artist confronts the unthinkable head on..."--Dan Jaffe, poet, editor, and critic. "Eloquent, moving, passionate, incredibly good! I've not before read anything like it. I find the set descriptions, director's notes, instructions to actors all so beautifully written that they are a part of the whole piece..."--Jack Stolz, President Emeritus, California Media and Library Educators Association. "Poetically strips away the social facades of how society strangles the emotional life out of its chldren before they have the chance to reason as adults..."--Al Des Marteau, M.S. Clinical Director, Psychology, Kansas City. "An astounding, powerful work dealing with the classic issues of grief. The most accurate portrayal of the war of grief that I've run into. So obviously real, and yet, not yet--when you lose someone slowly and surely. Voices in Soft Sculpture is a great work..."--Rev. John Hicks, St. James Urban Church, Denver, Colorado. "RIveting and magnanimous..."--David Ray, poet, critic, and editor. "Voices in Soft Sculpture put me in touch with thoughts and feelings I didn't know existed. Professionally speaking, I feel this play can be a very useful tool in helping those whose lives are touched by children with any terminal illness. The emotions and thoughts raised here leave little room for rationalizations..."--Eva Kasmar Foster, Licensed Master Social Worker, Kansas City.

YR DAILY ACE [ASHES Chapbook #1] by John Loquidis; Poetry. (5½ "x8½", 21 pages, sewn binding; cover art by Michael Annis; collaborative art by Steve Wilson and Bill Dailey, with a photograph of Loquidis by Janna Pharo ). "to all the hookers of Denver without whom there wld have been no one to talk to --& it ain't that bad or good..." runs the dedication by JL for the first collection published by Howling Dog Press. One of the original voices (perhaps the most original) from the Bowery/Black Ace/Temple of Man Poets and Artists of Denver, circa 1960's-1980s, a group that also included Larry Lake, Frankie Rios, Tony Scibella, James Ryan Morris, Steve Wilson, Stan Brakhage, Stuart Z. Perkoff, and others. John Loquidis captured the essence and existential vision of inner city Denver in the 1970s more brilliantly and honestly than any other poet or writer--Kerouac and Ginsberg included. His poems sweep the reader back to the experience of night's desperation among those who inhabited Capitol Hill, Five Points, and East Colfax Avenue. Click on the cover for three sample poems from the collection. OUT OF PRINT.

WINGS, WANDS, WINDOWS [ASHES Chapbook #2] by Gregory Corso; Poetry. (5½ "x8½", 36 pages, perfect bound softcover; edited by and w/cover art by Michael Annis; collaborative art by Gregory Corso, Gary Oberle, and David Ashley, with photographs of Corso by Janna Pharo ). This chapbook was a special edition released for the 1982 Jack Kerouac Conference in Boulder. It features several poems, including some well known such as "In Praise of Neanderthal Man" and "Marriage," as well as unpublished poems, and a fold-out double page of "Poem" illustrated and rendered in hand calligraphy by David Ashley (displayed on the ASHES #2 webpage). Corso also created seven original drawings for the book. A lengthy radio interview with Corso by a show host from KBCO-FM, and their flaming arguments that ended with Corso violently throwing several objects around the room, and the DJ's scathing criticism of him as he was leaving the studio, is also included. Order from Howling Dog Press: $7.95, with free shipping. NOTE: From the First Edition of Wings, Wands, Windows, a unique set of chapbooks lettered AA through ZZ is archived at Howling Dog Press. Each chapbook in this one-of-a-kind set contains the seven printed Corso drawings common to all of the chapbooks, plus one unique original penned in drawing on the last page that was created in an artistic flurry by Corso at the Kerouac Conference: Michael Annis would say a word, such as "owl," and Corso would draw out his first reaction to the word. This edition will not be sold in separate copies; the entire set must be purchased as a single unit, by bid.
