More Scandalous than Howl! THE LOVE BOOK by Lenore Kandel. Superstition Street Press proudly announces the republication of "THE LOVE BOOK", Lenore Kandel's incendiary erotic masterpiece of modern poetry. Declared obscene and banned in 1967 by the California Supreme Court after the longest trial in San Francisco history to date, this timeless, genre-defying hymn to lust and love has remained woefully out of print for 36 years despite its ban being rescinded in 1973. Featuring a newly designed three color cover, hand-stitched binding, a printing history, and archival quality paper. "THE LOVE BOOK", transcendental jewel of American Poetry, banned as part of an illegal program of harassment, arrests, and mass confiscations instituted by then-governor Ronald Reagan, is back in all its notorious glory to claim its rightful place in San Francisco literary history. From Charles Perry, The Haight-Ashbury: "Why Kandel's book was singled out as obscene was the subject of much speculation...They read as if Elizabeth Barrett Browning had taken acid and set about to describe the sex act with relish as a cosmic event, identifying the lovers as the Divine Couple of Hindu mythology." Who is Lenore Kandel? In 1966, The Love Book was banned and seized similarly to how Allen Ginsberg's Howl was treated almost a decade earlier. The ban on Howl was overturned at trial and the book can be found at any bookstore; the ban on The Love Book was upheld for 8 years, and the book was never reprinted until now. Kandel was threatened with arrest if she read her poems at the University of New Mexico, where an assistant English professor defied the ban and gave the poems to his class to read. She read anyway, and the audience was so supportive that the cops were afraid to arrest her, for fear of sparking a riot. She read at the infamous San Francisco Be-in, sharing the stage with Jefferson Airplane. She bridged the chasm between the Beats and the Hippies, and matched Kerouac, Ginsberg, Richard Brautigan, and Lew Welch for passion and intensity. She was immortalized in Kerouac'sBig Sur as "Romana Schwartz". Maxine Hong Kingston, in Tripmaster Monkey, wrote of her: "There were two wake-robins: Diane Wakowski and Lenore Kandel; the latter wailed out sex-challenge poems larger and louder than the men, who were still into cool."

SWAMP! By Joe Pachinko From Amazon: "I love this book! If you like adventure, environmental awareness, romance, scatology, and most of all HUMOR, you won't be disappointed here. In fact, SWAMP is very hard to put down once you start reading. Ostensibly a story of impoverished contract archaeologists, this book actually has a much bigger scope, the toxification of the world by the clueless. Some of these clueless characters are so funny, I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. Of course, the environment is a sad subject, too, but I think Pachinko's leavening the subject with such brilliant and insightful humor makes the 'message' go down a lot easier. Be aware, Be entertained, Buy the book! " Buy it at: Amazon.com
