New in the Catalog!

Shotgun Seamstress: An Anthology by Osa Atoe

Shotgun Seamstress: A Fanzine by and for Black Punks" is a collection of all eight issues of the fanzine, created between 2006 and 2015. The fanzine was founded by Osa Atoe, inspired by the experience of being the only Black person at a punk show. It serves as a platform for Black punks to express and represent their full range of experiences and to explore the possibilities of Black identity, rather than being limited by mainstream definitions. The fanzine features essays, interviews, historical portraits, reviews, and more, honoring musicians and artists who embody free Black expression and challenge the notion of Black culture as monolithic. It also showcases a diverse range of gender and sexuality, including figures such as Vaginal Cream Davis, Death, Poly Styrene, Brontez Purnell, Rachel Aggs, Alvin Baltrop, and Mick Collins. The layouts of each issue are reproduced as they were originally hand-photocopied and distributed in small batches.

1.26" H x 10.26" L x 7.26" W (2.43 lbs) 368 pages

“Ten Bridges I’ve Burnt” by Brontez Purnell is a memoir in verse. I love his work and his searing poetry delivers. Yet, what really makes this book essential reading is that while you are getting an account of his life, he hits you with insights into your life — fears, longings, and strengths you thought no one could see. It’s like: There you go thinking you’re so slick and you tucked your messiness out of sight. But Brontez gotcha.

(Pub date: Feb. 13)

2.

The stop-start freeze-frame kaleidoscopic density of many lives packed into one I have to think of time in different ways lest it consumes me but also the line between the past and the present I have altogether abandoned keeping score of it's Godlike the poetic practice of shrinking twenty years into a series of days

Monday: I was born Tuesday: I stepped off BART and into the San Francisco air the first time Wednesday: the day I asked you to marry me and you refused Thursday: the day you never woke up—I called and called Friday: I became immortal because I wanted to remember forever

—Brontez Purnell, from "Northern California"

I myself am lots of things—petty, jealous, a danger if provoked, certainly sensitive—but not fragile. I could fuck a crocodile and I could survive an atom bomb.
