QuickviewANTHROPOCENOMA by Chuck Richardson
PoetryA mapping of word and thought metastases to co-here (in now of us all) the crazed pathological death-life energies of our age – Richardson takes the notes inside my own head, at least, and probably taps a collective despair, why everyone can’t rouse out of diseased, disfiguring, disaster consciousness. “Sleep requires optimism. We dream of sleeping.” Planetary accord? No hope, but it is something, this general re-cognition of or against humans’ dominion over earth as a totalizing, cancerous, growth. —Magus Magnus$16.00 -
QuickviewDoes the Moon Ever Shine in Heaven? by Chuck Richardson
FictionExperiencing the heart and mind of a suicided murderer, Does the Moon Ever Shine in Heaven? gives voice to a killer’s disturbing passage through the Bardo Plane . According to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Bardo is the existential phase between death and re-birth where the soul confronts itself, trying to stave off its karmic pressure by confronting the active contents of its mind. Here, the narrator must go beyond the rage that would destroy him and everything else it can.$16.00 -
QuickviewIterations of Lilith and Adam: An Alien’s Memoir by Chuck Richardson
FictionChuck Richardson writes like he’s the conductor of a chorus of demons. Hallucinatory and searing, Iterations of Lilith and Adam pounds away at your equilibrium until your only choice is to let go, accept your fate, and let Richardson be your guide. —Dave Megenhardt$20.00 -
QuickviewPOEM FOR THE UNBORN| NOTES TO THE GREATEST GENERATION by Chuck Richardson
PoetryThe hip thing these days is to be a poet and write fiction. It is not the hip thing these days to be a fiction writer and write poetry. The former brings possible public reward and greater numbers of readers; the latter brings no public reward and notice but by a few. That is the surface reason this book of poetry--a single dark, weird, shattering poem, really--by the singular fiction writer Chuck Richardson might trigger curiosity and attention. —Kent Johnson$16.00 -
QuickviewSmoke by Chuck Richardson
FictionChuck Richardson's Smoke probes human existence by pursuing truth and meaning in an unknowable, inexpressible universe, much like the author-ities. What makes Smoke fascinating is the imaginary catastrophe lurking behind it, which leaves us to invent and imagine the world anew. —Raymond Federman$16.00 -
QuickviewSo It Seams by Chuck Richardson
Fiction$18.00Chuck Richardson is a necessary American writer: Kafka’s disturbed humor; postmodern esemplastic axes and paradoxes; Taoist humility of Hindu-Buddhist warfare mentality; Black Elk’s quest for his siblings; Castaneda’s sexual appeal; the grotesque Thomism of Flannery O’Connor; Marquez; Grace Paley; A.P.E.S. and quantum physics and a healthy dose of gastronomic preference; a nuclear-sonar-tech-turned-journalist-bracketing Buffalo and Greenpeace, the range of Chuck Richardson astounds me. —Jared Schickling

QuickviewTrust Me and other Fictions by Chuck Richardson
FictionZiggy Fumar, author of The Electroempathy Specrtometer, considering what Trust Me does: "It gradually reverse-metastasizes via reverse-engineering the malignant psyche into a benign, Alienist attitudinal perspective—that of an egoless schizoid biological psychogeograph whose content seems the effect of form. But whose form, exactly? Think about it. If your thoughts seem the effects of their form, what kind of be-ing are you? What does Mind belong to?"$16.00
