these poems - some short, some longer - are stories and songs about land and water, about animals and plants, about the author's place among and alongside them. on the shore of lake superior, at the base of the abbaye peninsula, looking out at keweenaw bay, they explore what it means to live across all seasons in the north country. they take pleasure in hard work and small joys found in field and woods.

In Phil Smith's first novel, he explores the meaning of narrative. Without apparent characters, action, or setting, he wanders through a landscape made up simply of words, phrases, and sentences. Disconnected from the real world, he ignores his readers, who must find their own way in the wilderness of language. Is it fiction? Autobiography? Why does he call it a novel? What does the title mean? This is perhaps Smith's most enigmatic work to date. It is, perhaps, the kind of book that should be banned, or burned.

Glossalalic. Postal. Echolalic. Anti-art. Offalic. Eliptical. Lucidic. These are some of the words Phil Smith uses to describe his writing. In this group of plays, he explores and deconstructs the meaning of theater, dramatic literature, and the intent of language itself. What do these plays mean? "They believe in themselves," he says. "And that's good enough."

Phil Smith's second book of poems, Keweenaw Bay Songs represents a decade of living beside Lake Superior's Keweenaw Bay. From the west side of the bay, in a cabin on the Abbaye Peninsula, he looks out at the lake, a field, and his neighbors-some of them human, some plants, some animals. This work explores what it means to be rooted in place, to learn about the North Country, to understand what it all means. These are snapshots, snippets, little bits of life in the natural world-in them, you can feel the air, see the lake, find connections to a flower or a bird.

A personal story of the life of Philip B. Smith.

Smith spent six weeks at Dickenson's Reach in Down East Maine during the fall of 2019. The experience of living off-grid, with no running water and wood for heat, two miles from the nearest paved road was transformational. Created by Bill Coperthwaite, whose life and thinking about non-violent living that intentionally rejected capitalism and inequality, the homestead consists of a set of extraordinary yurts on 400 acres of wilderness, with 4.5 miles of ocean coast. Smith describes his connection with the animals, sky, water, soil, and trees that he lived among.

Pomes is a collection of poetry thirty years in the making. Reflecting Smith's concerns with conceptual, experimental, post, and concrete writing, it is profoundly influenced by William Burroughs, John Cage, Gertrude Stein, and a host of other avant garde word artists. Here, he plays with a variety of styles and formats, trying to discover and outline the nature of discourse and communication. Deeply personal, at times autobiographical, his writing in these pieces looks at text, words, grammar, and syntax, exploring the very meaning of language itself.

One of Denver's Top Realtors, Ann Taddeo, discusses her life and her career in this autobiography. Looking back at her early life, she says, she was destined to become a real estate agent. She and a friend played Monopoly for hours. She decided to pursue a real estate career in 1994 after having negative experiences the first few times she bought homes. There had to be a better way to do this, she decided, and she found that way. Now, 24 years later, she gives the basics of real estate, for both buyers and sellers, and describes different business models that affect the service real estate customers receive. She tells stories about incidents that have added a touch of spice to her business. She discusses the lengths to which she'll go to provide her customers with what she calls "service on steroids." And in the end, she talks about what she's learned about life. This is a fascinating look at a fascinating life in real estate.

"The world is on the move; seas rise, villages are emptied, coastlines are redrawn, deserts spread to the suburbs, snowfall increases and lost battlefields re-emerge. Only soap operas give any impression of permanence. Traditional fortresses like home, dwelling and nation are increasingly exposed as porous, fabricated and expensive things. The ways are opening for a pervasive and benevolent nomadism, a new art of living, on both grand and individuated scales."In this lovely photo-essay, Phil Smith - playwright, walk-performance artist (Wrights & Sites and Crabman) and author (Mis-Guides, Mythogeography, On Walking and Counter-Tourism) draws our attention to a "chorus of surprises" "yelling from the sides of the road like particularly unruly spectators at a parade".Focusing on signs, simulacra, objects and places that prove to be more, less or other than what they seem (all illustrated throughout the book) the author encourages us to look afresh at our quotidian urban and rural surroundings to see what lies just beneath the surface.Once identified, these absurd, empty, recalcitrant enchantments can transform the way we live and think and occupy our inner and outer landscapes.Urging us to "hypersensitize ourselves to the full blast of contemporary landscape's intensity", Phil Smith explains how to "let our tentacles unfurl" in order to explore and see the world around us in all its glory.

"To dive into Phil Smith's writing - a dazzling blend of poetry, ethnography, social critique, and gleefully mad wordplay - can feel more like taking a psychedelic drug than like reading the work of a distinguished scholar. And yet, a distinguished scholar he is. For two decades, he has been a bold trailblazer and innovator in the realms of education, disability studies, mad studies, neurodiversity, and poetry, and in exploring how these realms can interconnect and inform one another Each chapter of this book is a poetic thought experiment that shreds cultural norms and assumptions, points the way toward new creative directions in scholarship, and might make your brain explode."- Nick WalkerAuthor, educator, and neurodiversity scholar

A dark novel set in the 'Lovecraft Villages' of Devon, spanning several thousand years, from the time it was occupied by the Dumnonii, through the 19th century to its more contemporary occupation by holiday park dwellers, marketing professionals, doggers and other romantics.

The authors offer a handbook for exploration, embodiment and art making: part account of a pilgrimage they walked; part invitation to walk and sensitise ourselves to the world around us in a wholly new way; part political/philosophical/ecological reflection; part compendium of games, pastimes, tactics and new rituals; part invitation to create art.

A wide-ranging, funny, clever account of 40 years in the life of the most successful touring theatre company of all time. The authors dance between magical storytelling... a masterclass on acting, directing and writing for theatre... the role of theatre in different countries... and offering an eye-opening history of TNT The New Theatre.

This book suggests the challenge for all of us in a climate emergency is to dissolve our artistic or habitual/life practice, to "sink into the dark forest beneath our feet", to embed ourselves in the grander patterns, systems and flows of our wet planet, to "feel our way, but also to allow what we feel to feel us, and direct us by its flows".

Follow mythogeographer Phil Smith, photographer John Schott and ornithorgrapher Tony Whitehead, in words and pictures, on an imagined pilgrimage through a real but extraordinary landscape. Over the course of the 19-day Armchair Pilgrimage, we experience the world around us just as they did as they walked - finding our own destination.

Every place has its stories. Sometimes those stories get tarmacked and concreted over. This is nowhere more true than in Milton Keynes.
