Volumes 6 - 10
​Far Out On The Road With Friends

compiled by Marshall Deerfield

Travel By Haiku: Volume 6-10, Far Out On The Road With Friends is a modern ode to the community found on the road, written by six navigators of its far reaches over the course of three separate road trips. Those familiar with the American Pops of Jack Kerouac, the blues-infused ku of Sonia Sanchez, or the travel fiction of Basho will see the parallels between the spirit of the road, as it was and as it is now. An ever-changing, undying wanderlust that brings people together across distances unknown, until they are adventured, together.

Water Is The New Precedent
A Dream Dialectic from Standing Rock

by Marshall James Kavanaugh

Collected here are a series of essays written before, during, and after my time spent at Standing Rock. Each essay attempts to capture the love and prayerful community that I found there, the lessons I learned from my native relatives and the hope I felt so present in that space. The words contained here are the seeds of a message that needs to spread: Mni Wiconi! Water Is Life!

All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Standing Rock or other indigenous led movements fighting for sovereignty around the American continent.

A-Politico Absurdia

written by Jozef Maguire
words collaborated with Marshall James Kavanaugh

In 2011, Jozef Maguire and Marshall James Kavanaugh set out to write a manifesto for a culture movement that James Kavanaugh had been developing called Dream Punk. Originally intended to incite a radical break from consensus reality in pursuit of empowerment through lucid dreaming, the text became an experience of manifestation through language. While writing it, the authors quickly developed their own vocabulary as they searched for words that would better describe the characters and states of mind they found in this alternate reality. The collaboration that happened while they lived together for six months in Philadelphia had a visionary effect on both writers that still calls out in both of their writings to this day. The text is only the beginning.

Fire. Sun. Salutation.
a collection of surreal shorts and intimate transformations

by Marshall James Kavanaugh

Fire. Sun. Salutation. is a collection of 9 short stories, both surreal and erotic in experience. It is the story of a writer trying to arouse his muse. A lecher learning to dance. Three psychonauts camping in a slowly fading fairy tale. A rêvelutionary road trip across the great American plains. A man discovering the sensual power he holds in his fingertips, while another finds he is ruined by it. And all throughout this journey, fire haunts the narrative in the form of an all-loving goddess. Written in the context of a dream world, readers of Henry Miller, Anais Nin, and/or Arthur Rimbaud, as well as anyone looking for a new love, will find their every fantasy satisfied between these pages.
