I’ll Fly Away

By Rudy Francisco

In this stunning, intimate follow-up to Helium, Francisco’s poems savor the day-to-day. Treating the ordinary as worthy of worship, he turns each moment into an opportunity to plant new seeds of growth. He even creates his own words for the things our language cannot give name to, for example:

“Felenter (Noun) Definition: Someone who finds joy in things that people believe to be mundane.”

There aren’t enough songs about minding your own business or staying home on a Saturday because you think most people are exhausting, but I do believe that we deserve an anthem. An ode with a catchy hook and beat by DJ Mustard. Something we can dance to after the plans we regret making are canceled at the last minute. Whenever the weekend is visited by the Patron Saint FRANCISCO HAS 110+ MILLION of empty schedules, we throw a party in his honor POETRY VIDEO VIEWS but only invite ourselves.

By Bianca Phipps

This poetic debut navigates the crossroads of familial ties and forgiveness.

Phipps ruminates on the ways we are shaped as humans. Is it nature or nurture? Fate or happenstance? What teaches us to love: our generational inheritance, no matter how harmful? Phipps takes us to the most intimate parts of family matters in hopes of understanding conflict as a means of overcoming.

IT JUST HAPPENED SO FAST One minute everyone clambered onto the same couch & the next we didn’t. Or is that just memory? Anyway, I betrayed them. I told Dad where we were going. I thought they loved each other. I loved them both. I couldn’t imagine a world where they didn’t—love each other like I loved them. I could forgive them for anything. It all changed. But it was me: I unlocked the door & left a note & told him where we were going. I wanted him to follow. My fault. My love. POEMS ABOUT GENERATIONAL TRAUMA My inability to separate them. AND FORGIVENESS

Bianca Phipps is a Chicago-based spoken word poet, originally from San Antonio, TX. She graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a BA in acting, and was featured on UNCo’s SOAPbox POETRY GRAND SLAM CUPS team from 2014-2016.

By Javon Johnson

Johnson foregrounds Black pleasure, Black pain and Black love in unflinchingly Black ways.

Engaging with themes of masculinity, racism, love, and joy, Johnson is at once critical and creative. In a world of individualism, whom can you hold close? In a world of danger, what makes you feel safe?

His spoken word performances transfer effort - lessly to the page in these encompassing poems.

from America In this poem, Black people will be replaced by the word America. America has a deep history, can trace its roots before colonial expansion, you know. Refuses to be reduced to the slave trade. America never needed a Declaration of Independence to know that all “are created equal.” America knows that. Knows that Lincoln did not free the slaves, Knows, in fact, America did. America remembers the Civil War, the Reconstruction Era, THE INSEPARABLE FUSION OF BLACKNESS The Birth of a Nation, and AND SURVIVAL IN THE US Jim Crow. Knows the KKK. America loves its hoods, but hates the hood. America remembers the Civil Rights Era.

By Johnny No Bueno

“Johnny No Bueno writes with the grittiest of voices. Reading his poetry is like jumping into the moshpit at a punk rock show. The brash language spins around to hit you in the jaw while bringing up the nostalgia for cheap booze.” —Claire Valentine-Fossum, Street Roots

A stunning glimpse into the bloody, raw world of Johnny No Bueno.

Drafted into conflict at an early age, No Bueno’s first siege takes place in his violently broken home. In adolescence, he becomes a soldier of the streets, a mercenary imprisoned by addiction and fighting a losing battle. As an adult, freed from those shackles, he finds himself at ground zero of a brand-new war, now a crusader for divine revolution. Vulnerable and vitriolic, his distorted lens humanizes us. We cheer, we cringe, we are, at times, collateral damage. We bear witness. We are moved. We are changed.

6..|..SCB DISTRIBUTORS..|..FALL 2020 Allow The Light The Lost Poems of Jack McCarthy

By Jack McCarthy

“McCarthy looks at life and still finds beauty; his affections are not just reserved for the glaringly lovely, but for what gets left behind in the face of such dazzle. ‘The first robin of spring/is like the clicking of a tumbler/in some marvelously complex lock.”—Victor Infante, OC Weekly

“Jack McCarthy could – and did, over and over – locate and celebrate the good. In people, in experience, and in community. I always return to his work the way I used to return to his arms, like someone who has stumbled into a 12-step meeting they didn’t know they needed. Read on, and you will need it, too.” —Taylor Mali, author of What Learning Leaves and Late Father

Jack McCarthy lived his life like an open mic. He invited everyone in, encouraged them to share their stories, gave them space for their experiences, and, most importantly, he listened. Quick witted and hilariously self deprecating, he was a spoken word master.

He left behind an immense collection of unpub - lished, unseen work, which his widow has released for this collection. Allow The Light follows the narrative line of McCarthy’s life, from grief and THE LAST, LOST POEMS sobriety, to fatherhood, marriage, and divorce. OF THE BELOVED AUTHOR These poems navigate the discovery of new love after loss, the struggles of the working class, and the acceptance of one’s family’s emotional inheritance.

■ Interspersed throughout the collection are remembrances from Taylor Mali, Ryler Dustin, Robert Lashley, and more

Jack McCarthy (1939-2013) began writing poetry in the 1960s and was occasionally published.

By Gael Berton

“Miyazaki’s works have a depth and complexity often missing in American animation. There is a painterly richness in his work, and he permits himself silences and contemplation, providing punctuation for the exuberant action…”—Roger Ebert

“It’s almost impossible to do justice in words to the visual richness.”—Variety

A psychological and aesthetic exploration of Miyazaki and his collaborators, deciphering, movie by movie, the themes in his ouvre, in order to reveal the inner nature of this amazing and accomplished filmmaker.

Some of Miyazaki’s themes include humans’ relationship with the natural world; the comfort of traditional living; the emotional importance of craft and creation; and the value of pacifism and humanism in a world that often rejects both.

The films discussed here include My Neighbor Totoro (1988), Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989), Princess Mononoke (1997), and Spirited Away (2001), which won the FILM BY FILM, EXPLORE THE WONDER OF Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. MIYAZAKI’S WORLD Miyazaki created Studio Ghibli in 1985 and his films were originally intended for a Japanese audience. Miyazaki retired in 2016.

By Christian Sorensen

Exposé on the war industry, which has comman- deered the other two sides of the military- industrial-congressional triangle, and how it has consumed the US economy in the process. With deep research and an analytical perspective, the author names the individuals and corporations that weld the scheme together. War-related spending permeates the US economy, masquer- ading as patriotism, national security and troop protection, and no geographic or economic sector remains untouched. The vast and pro - liferating war industry exploits financial and legal structures while co-opting Congress and the media. It documents

■ How corporations profit by providing goods and services to troops, overseas bases, and war zones ■ How US academia has succumbed to the gravy train, superseding research that might otherwise benefit humanity ■ How foreign governments fund US war corporations HOW WAR CORPORATIONS DRIVE AMERICA’S ENDLESS CONFLICTS No president, even if so inclined, can stop America’s permanent wars unless a mass move - ment demands the rollback of corporate war profiteering. This book provides a lever.

The book follows the poet from Oxford, where he wandered around clutching a teddybear, then having been kicked out, to the well- trodden route of Prep School master. It covers his unfortunate marriage to Penelope Chetwode, an English travel writer, who sadly was more interested in horses than humans. It ends with his lengthy affair with Lady Elizabeth Cavendish and his relationship with his son Paul, who emigrated LIFE OF THE BEST-SELLING POET to the US and never forgave Betjeman for his shortcomings as a parent.

By James Joyce

“My choice as the finest of Joyce’s stories.”—T. S. Eliot

“Just about the finest short story in the English language.”—NYT

“...Its scenes are among the most exquisite passages of prose fiction in the entire canon.”—Ian McEwan

On a snowy winter night in Dublin, guests gather for an annual holiday party at the home of Gabriel Conroy’s elderly aunts. The evening proceeds with dancing, dinner, singing and speeches, offset here and there by some awkward moments.

Cautious, conservative Gabriel and his wife, Gretta, take their leave well after midnight. He is in high spirits, but notes that Gretta is deeply preoccupied, for reasons he shall soon discover. Indeed, Gabriel’s epiphany is one of modern literature’s most emotionally powerful scenes.

James Joyce’s short masterpiece takes in love, loss, ageing, change, Irish culture, identity politics and the finer shades of living and dying.

James Joyce (1882-1941) was one of the most JOYCE’S GREATEST WORK influential writers of the 20th Century. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, and although he later lived mostly in Continental Europe, Dublin remained the anchor of his prose.

Each Thursday Caterina visits her boyfriend Aurelio in prison, where he’s held under suspicion of pimping strippers in the nightclub he manages. Then she goes straight from the prison to meet the policeman who arrested him: is he now her lover? Caterina’s life is difficult and her environment challenging – and she is very much a modern heroine.

By Eoghan Smith

“Brilliant! Dark and atmospheric. It’s a compulsive account of how it feels to be tortured and mired in anxiety.” —Sue Leonard, The Irish Examiner

“Eoghan Smith is a stylist, and the lyricism of this narrative lifts the general air of gloom. I loved it!”—Books Ireland

“I was exhausted after each chapter, but I devoured every single word of this truly exquisite debut.” —Dymphna Nugent, Waterford Star & News

The scaffolding upon which Smith displays elegant philosophical architecture follows a young scholar whose mother has just died.

Estranged from his father after stealing his money, hounded by the ominous figure of his landlord and oppressed with images of his ex- lover’s impending labor, he wanders into an existential purgatory. Time expands and contracts; it is unclear what is real, what is internalized: at the end of this brief novel there is the sensation of having witnessed the dark dream of a stranger.

The narrative circles in on itself in an ever- A FERVID, SURREAL TALE SET IN DUBLIN decreasing gyre, examining ancient and modern ideas about existence, subjecting philosophical scholarship itself to a sardonic inquiry using its own tools of scrutiny.

By Andrew Crumey

“It is a delightful introduction to Crumey’s singularly riddling work – an intermezzo that doubles as an overture.” —Stuart Kelly, The Scotsman

“This is a book bursting with fertile fusions of ideas by this Scottish Borges.”—The Sunday Herald

Crumey’s novels are known for their unique blend of science, history, philosophy and humor. This original story cycle offers an ironic twist on the ancient doctrine of connectedness, the great chain of being.

Crumey ranges across time, from the Renaissance to a globally-warmed future, and across light years in search of hallucinogenic space-plankton, magical worlds of talking insects and bottled fire. Are all of these characters and quests part of some larger, untold story? We have nothing to lose but the chains of our imagination.

Andrew Crumey, a Glaswegian, read theoretical physics and math at St. Andrews and Imperial ONE OF SCOTLAND’S FINEST College in London and did post-doctoral research MODERN NOVELISTS at Leeds University on nonlinear dynamics. After 6 years as literary editor at Scotland on Sunday, he now teaches creative writing at Northumbria University.
