Irregular Army
An explosive investigation into how America’s longest wars created a threat from within by flooding the U.S. military with extremists now fueling MAGA, domestic terror, and the global far right.In this new edition of Irregular Army, investigative journalist Matt Kennard delivers a searing exposé of how the U.S. military’s recruitment crisis during the War on Terror opened the ranks to some of the most dangerous elements in American society—white supremacists, neo-Nazis, gang members, and convicted criminals. This updated edition deepens the original’s urgent warning, connecting those recruitment policies directly to the rise of MAGA extremism, Trumpism, and the global resurgence of fascism.Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and interviews with extremist veterans and military insiders, Kennard reveals how the Pentagon knowingly empowered violent ideologues in its desperation to staff the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now back on American soil—and in some cases in positions of power—many of these veterans see their mission continuing through race war fantasies, far-right organizing, and criminal enterprises.With chilling clarity, Irregular Army links the War on Terror’s domestic fallout to the January 6 insurrection, the militarization of MAGA politics, and the broader threats of global instability. As Trump returns to the White House and the Pentagon edges further right, Kennard’s book is an essential account of how American imperial violence abroad is fueling authoritarian danger at home—and around the world.
The Lost Book of Life
A poetic journey through five decades of wonder, memory, and love, where the ordinary becomes sacred and every line leads home Spanning five decades of poetic mastery, The Lost Book of Life: New and Selected Poems is the definitive collection from Charles Ghigna, a beloved and influential voice in contemporary Southern poetry.

His poems open doorways into childhood's bright dreaming, the quiet complexities of fatherhood, and the sacred hush of daily life.

For longtime admirers and new readers alike, The Lost Book of Life is a luminous testament to a life devoted to poetry. It is both compass and keepsake: a celebration of poetry's enduring light, and a lasting gift to the literature of the American South.

Vesmír není dominatrix
Poezie mikulovsko-brněnské básnířky Eli Hondl (nar. 1995) je světem protikladů. Její obraznost dokáže být lyrická a odkouzleně křehká, ale i naštvaně kritická a syrová. Na jedné straně tu „ze dna vraků prorůstají jako choroše / tlamy bílých běluh / písně tumorů samoty“, abychom se jen o chvíli později stali svědky mlčení i výkřiků, jež mají kořeny v hněvu stejně jako v sexu. Jednotlivými básněmi ve sbírce se pak jako jednotící linka táhne tělesnost; ta reflektuje jak tělo vlastní, tak i tělo společenské. A nakonec je tak do dvojí role postaven i jazyk samotný — prostředek, jak zúčtovat sama se sebou: „ideologický jazyk polykej pomalu / vyklovaná rána hnisá božskou / ale třetí oko máš příliš jasné“.
