  • Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way
    Praise for Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way Hollywood Buddhism Sizzles! Michael Attie knows his dharma, and understands show-biz, and he puts the two together in this profound, lighthearted and often touching book. Attie will take you with him to visit the esteemed Zen master Sasaki Roshi or the Hindu saint Neem Karoli Baba, and then to meditate in his ‘Don't Worry Zendo’ or at the Playmates lingerie meditation hall. Can you find universal consciousness through the Feather Boa Dance? Read this book and find out! You'll have a good time on the way. —Wes Nisker, author Crazy Wisdom, (Ten Speed Press) Michael Attie’s Many Ways, Middle Way, No Way examines Buddhism’s many facets—its principles and practices, its lineages, and its consonance with other disciplines—all the time reminding us not to take anything too seriously. Attie’s approach is encyclopedic, thoughtful, compassionate, and best of all, gently outrageous. —Jeff Kane, author The Healing Companion, (HarperSanFrancisco) A witty, compassionate, reverential and wise description of meditation and ordinary spiritual practice by a wandering pilgrim whose understanding matured immeasurably at midlife when he became the owner of “the world’s largest lingerie store.” Based upon his personal experiences, Attie describes an unconventional, self-authenticated, non- authoritarian spiritual practice drawn from Eastern devotional traditions and meditation techniques that embraces everyday life and promotes relationship and the collective experience. Attie’s romp through Eastern mysticism and practice illuminates, instructs and celebrates life’s juxtaposition of chaos, passion, music, poetry, art, travel and people with spiritual practice. His world is a warm place filled with love, humor and appreciation.

  • The Little Magazine in America, Mid-1950S to Mid-1980S
    The Little Magazine in America, mid-1950s to mid-1980s: A Collection from the Golden Age of the Small Press Mimeo Revolution We are pleased to offer for sale an extraordinary collection of little magazines from the golden age of the small press mimeo revolution. The collection documents, with great breadth and depth, the intellectual, spiritual, and material diversity of poet-driven publishing in the US and, to a lesser extent, Canada and the UK from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s. Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop review page proofs at Burning Deck Press (Providence Journal, 1980s). The present collection has emerged in tandem with our ongoing projects to chronicle and archive the proliferation of avant-garde underground small press publications, including the acclaimed New York Public Library exhibition and book A Secret Location on the Lower East Side, curated and written by Steve Clay and Rodney Phillips, as well as our new expanded resource website, From a Secret Location, launched in January 2017 by Granary Books. The collection includes a strong representation of seminal works from various movements and groupings such as the New York School, British Poetry Revival, Beats, Black Mountain, San Francisco Renaissance, Ethnopoetics, Black Arts, Venice West, Meat poets, Wichita Vortex, and Language poets. Concrete and visual poetry is also well represented. One of the chief strengths of the collection is its range of inclusivity, which reveals an international network of poet-driven and -distributed publications that developed into a vast underground economy, from Vancouver to Cardiff and Bolinas to Buffalo, with hundreds of stops in between.
