Dadaism is a literary and artistic movement that was founded in Zurich in 1916, in part as a protest and reaction to the destruction of civilized life and thought during World War I. Dadaist works sought to negate traditional values in philosophy and the arts and substituted deliberate madness and chaos for conventional notions of beauty and harmony. Similar later movements include absurdism and surrealism. Cover art by Walter Robinson. (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: New. Day or night. Rain, heat or snow. The city streets are full of people seeking the path to a better life. Everybody learns the hard way. Some not soon enough. And even dreams must pay their dues. That's just the nature of The City. That's New York. Welcome to Have a NYC, the first of a New York short stories series, edited by Peter Carlaftes and Kat Georges. Authors include: Claus Ankersen, Larissa Shmailo, Adam R. Burnett, Darlene Cah, David R. Lincoln, Lawrence Block, Kofi Fosu Forson, Pedro Ponce, Ronald H. Bass, Jane Ormerod, Peter D. Marra, Puma Perl, Lisa Ferber, Keven Dupzyk and Janet Hamill. In Have a NYC, Three Rooms Press aims to acknowledge that the energy that drives New York is still there, and not just in "hipster" neighborhoods or well-trodden streets. The stories are forming and reforming moment by moment. Drifters pass through and lend their ideas; natives look to cling to the things they see are ebbing away; the underbelly still writhes and reels to an urban beat; and the familiar landmarks take on new looks and menace as technology slowly grips the throngs of people walking the New York City streets. …

Paperback. Condition: New. In his impressive third volume, Peter Carlaftes digs into the beauty-and lunacy-of contemporary culture and its tendency to masque and disrupt the sustainability not just of the planet, but human nature itself. The poems in Life in the Past Lane are both daring and discreet, ranging from full frontal assaults on political and religious cults to tender, discerning, intimate studies of the challenges of self-faith, relationships and maintaining quiet equilibrium in the noisy space of modern life.Risk-taking and endlessly innovative, Carlaftes offers poems that dare to ask questions to which there is no answer, and to answer the unasked. It looks at the past clear-eyed, without reverence, and studies the place in the road where we are now, weaving cultural and personal memory with the currency that too-often ignores how we arrived. This extraordinary collection, relentlessly accessible, surprises with the depth of poems and the clarity of the thoughts, concepts, and execution that forged them.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Taking on the streets. East or Westside. Uptown and Down. The pace quickens through the boroughs from necessity. Every move the most important. Too much competition. Looking at each other for someone to blame. Doing anything just to be part of the magnitude. Everybody lost in the expanse. The City doesn't cheat you. It teaches. You absorb either knowledge or the blows. There are days when you find out you can't cut it anymore. And there are others when you come out at the top. The "Have A NYC" anthology series is an intense annual collection of modern short stories set in New York, edited by Peter Carlaftes and Kat Georges.

Shapley Bassen, Michael Schwartz, Puma Perl, Jackie Sheeler, Peter Marra, Maria Kranidis, Richard Vetere and Eric Stromsvold.…
