The term psychogeography refers to the act of exploring a city (usually an urban undertaking) in a nontraditional way. It is a choice to explore in ways that blend randomness and spontaneity, and in doing so, transform familiar streets into something unexpected.

The dérive is an unplanned journey through a landscape, usually urban, in which participants drop their everyday relations and "let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there."

The Botanist of Sky City Celeste by Lyndsey Croal

All three stories take place in a turn of the last century, alternate history Earth, which is a bit behind our own timeline in technology but very attuned to the spirit plane, and reeling from catastrophe. "The gas lamps flicker, and so does the silver screen. The authors invite you to a seance, a DIY punk show, and a screening of Wuthering Heights, as you've never seen it before..."

The Wild Hunt occurs in European folklore and typically involves a ghostly or supernatural group of hunters passing in wild pursuit. The hunters may be elves, or fairies, or the dead, and the leader of the hunt is often a named figure associated with Odin, but may variously be a historical, legendary, or biblical figure, or an unidentified lost soul or spirit either male or female.

Seeing the Wild Hunt was thought to presage some catastrophe such as war or plague, or, at best, the death of the one who witnessed it. People encountering the Hunt might also be abducted to the underworld or the fairy kingdom. In some instances, it was also believed that people's spirits could be pulled away during their sleep to join the cavalcade.

Collected here are all new stories of the Wild Hunt incorporating its diverse mythology and drama.

The Wild Hunt features the stories:
Cycle of the White Hart by Hailey Piper
The Unquiet Night by Claire Davon

Only together, can they set things right.

Species of Night
poetry by Todd Sanders

catalog number: aan10.18

Sold Out

Reviewed in the April 2011 Pittsburgh Magazine:

"Todd Sanders is perhaps best known for his translations of the French Surrealist poet Robert Desnos; however, in Species of Night, he allows his own muse to roam free. A small book of quiet yearning, Species of Night descends upon the reader like a velvet fog. Lines such as these from the poem 'Umbra' nearly sigh in the reader's ear: 'I had you once. Among the birds, among the blue / glass. I felt your shade there upon my hand.' A sad dreaminess is pervasive; lovely poems of emotional depth appear on every page."

Mythmaking
The Mythological Poetry of Robert Desnos, translated by Todd Sanders and Oonagh Taeger

catalog number: aan06.1

$19.95US + $6.50s/h (US Orders) or $26.00s/h (Foreign Orders)
96 pgs. illustrated hardcover. limited edition of 200 copies

An anthology of poems in original French with English translations.
Illustrated by Elise Soroka.


from the back cover ...
Mythmaking collects Robert Desnos' mythologically themed poems - Le Fard des Argonauts (1919), Minotaure (1930), Bacchus et Apollon (1942), Le Satyr (1942), and the extended poem Le Bain avec Andromède (1944) - several of which appear in English for the first time.

These poems span the writing career of Robert Desnos, from his early beginning as a founding Surrealist through the 1940's when he joined the Resistance against the Vichy Government and wrote poetry opposing the German Occupation of France.


Calixto
by Robert Desnos, translated by Todd Sanders

catalog number: aan04.1

$19.95 + $6.50s/h (US Orders) or $26.00s/h (Foreign Orders)

64 pgs. hardcover. limited edition of 200 copies

In original French with English translations.

from the back cover ...
Robert Desnos' 1943 poem Calixto, companion to the 1944 collection Contrée, was published in a complete edition by Gallimard in 1962. Calixto is a poem of resistance, epic in scale, combining a narrative language of classicism and Greek mythology with the argot of 1940's Paris. In a world peopled with prostitutes and explorers, victims and murders, Desnos fuses together a poetic elegy, a cry in the darkness against evil unleashed on the world.

Also appearing in this volume is Notes Calixto, notes and commentary written by Desnos in the margins of Calixto during its creation.


"Inspiring in this skillful English translation by Todd Sanders as it is in the original French, Calixto conveys Desnos's vivid portrayal of a changeable figure eager to encourage human beings to cling to their lives and their humanity in the face of tremendous odds."
- Katharine Conley - Author of The Marvelous in Everyday Life: Robert Desnos, Surrealism, and French Culture


The Secret Book for Youki and Other Poems

64 pgs. hardcover. limited edition of 200 copies

25 poems in original French with English translations.

from the back cover ...
Christened Youki, Japanese for 'pink snow', Lucie Badoul lived in Montparnasse in the 1920's and 30's where she was a model for, and later wife of, the Japanese painter Tsuguharu Foujita.

On October 31, 1931, after a long and stormy relationship with Youki, Foujita left for Brazil, leaving her the following farewell note - 'I don't have any more strength to fight in Paris .... Let me have the simple life which I dream of .... You now have a faithful friend, Robert .... who has taken my place and for him you are the dearest person in the world.'

The poems in this volume have been taken from two collections that Desnos wrote for Youki: The Secret Book for Youki composed in November of 1932, and selections from 1930 Youki Poèsie, completed in 1934.

These are love poems for Youki as well as poems about what it means to love.


The Circle and the Star
by Robert Desnos, translated by Todd Sanders

$70.00 + $6.50s/h (US Orders) or $26.00s/h (Foreign Orders)

64 pgs. letterpress hardcover with handprinted woodcut illustrations. limited edition of 100 copies, signed by translator

18 poems in original French with English translations, with four original woodcut illustrations by Elise Soroka and Sarah Marshall.

Robert Desnos (1900-1945) was one of the Surrealist movement's leading poets, praised by Andre Breton for playing a "necessary, unforgettable role." Combining humor and pathos, dreams and reality, Desnos work is typified by its verbal techniques and independent spirit. In 1930 he broke from the Surrealists and for a decade wrote motion picture and radio scripts, including the highly successful Complainte de Fantomas (1933). Arrested for his activity in the French Resistance, he was eventually deported to Czechoslovakia and died of typhus shortly after his camp was liberated.
