New Releases by Paul Cunningham

This book is intended to interpret and amplify the meaning of the hermetic classic Meditations on the Tarot (by “Anonymous,” later revealed to be Valentin Tomberg). It interprets Tomberg’s book, a series of meditations of the Major Arcana of the tarot, through the hermeneutic lens of the Gospel of St. John, and argues that the 22 cards of the deck correspond precisely to the 22 chapters of John’s Gospel. It further demonstrates - acting on claims by Tomberg that the Major Arcana are a “school of Christian initiation,” as well as claims made Rudolf Steiner that the Gospel of John is also a true path to Christian initiation--that Tomberg’s classic read in conjunction with the Gospel of John, reveal the contours of an accessible path to higher Christian knowledge. Tomberg’s book has a growing readership, despite its difficulty. This new book includes very accessible interpretations of Tomberg’s Meditations.

Crickets and locusts are the squeaky wheels of summer. Guards are selling explosives to the patients. Stories are tricky, and so is the act of telling them. This isn''t a rulebook. It''s not some dusty tome claiming to hand you the keys to the kingdom of Story. It''s a field guide for navigating the strange, electric territory where imagination meets nature, and where narrative becomes survival. Rooted in the five-element model-Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void-The Fictive Dream is for writers who don''t just want to build stories, but want to live inside them. You''ll explore the stable ground of structure, the murky tides of intuition, the thin line between passion and obsession, the strange weather of change, and the mysterious space where everything comes together or falls apart. With a voice that''s equal parts campfire confidante and slightly unhinged Zen master, this book offers writing prompts, wild anecdotes, elemental breakdowns, and a reminder that creative momentum isn''t linear-it''s natural. Cyclical. Alive. And it starts wherever you are. Because stories don''t save the world by following the rules. They save the world by rewriting them. Welcome to the fictive dream. Let''s begin.

Ferocious and unsparing, Paul Cunningham''s incomparable poetry is a carnivalesque, nightmare voyage through the dark wasteland that is twenty-first century America. -Jonathan Crary In your fantasy, am I duck or dog? The world is ending, but not as fast as one might hope, so let''s kill time at the 7/11 forever. Let''s kill all the time. You bring your bloodlust and your Warhol wig, I''ll bring my copy of Paul Cunningham''s Sociocide at the 24/7, plus the ant-farm I''ve wired to my fear receptors. Here, hold this riveting glittery reliquary of our glitchy lateness, slick w/ambivalence. Btw I drank your smoothie of Gila monster venom, microplastics & adaptogens, so cold and so sweet. -Joyelle McSweeney If our post-internet era is in a semiotic labyrinth, Sociocide at the 24/7 is like bringing a disco ball into a mirror maze. Fast, fun, and having its way entirely with the language of our culture: this is my kind of poetics. I really loved this book. -Ben Fama

The BASICS Handbook is designed to show personnel at all levels within a manufacturing operations environment that, with easy to understand continuous improvement tools, they can make a difference to operational performance where safety, quality, cost, delivery, and people are paramount to business success. The tools and techniques throughout, based upon examples from the author’s experience, demonstrate that no matter what industry, they can bring the desired added value. This book will help any manufacturing shop floor add value in terms of quality/cost and delivery performance. It will also show how using tools and techniques from the “coal face” out will improve process performance by using simple data collection and measurement – not only on outputs, but just as importantly on “critical to quality inputs” such as process parameters and their processing windows – to deliver the desired output KPIs. The power and confidence that this gives to local experts and processing teams enable them to make informed decisions, preventing drifts and non-conforming product: prevention being better than cure. The result of these changes is a tangible cultural impact on the shop floor, raising the level at which operating teams work and improving morale. BASICS will enable staff at all levels to understand their performance measures and produce sustainable results. The book contains practical tools, methods, and techniques that have been tried and tested by the author over a successful 30-year career as a contractor transforming variable processing and inconsistent KPI results.

Paul Cunningham has an absolute page-turner here-maybe the rarest of things in poetry. The repetition is EXQUISITELY and MASTERFULLY executed. It''s one of the best things I have read in a long time. -CAConrad, author of While Standing in Line for Death "To enter Paul Cunningham''s insidious home environment is to enter as a stranger, into his own perverse version of normalcy. With an equally deranged and seamless mix of Swedish and English, he reveals both the reader and the IKEA department store as eerie card houses or scenes, as mirror-rooms and kaleidoscopes. A madly beautiful and deeply disturbing book!" -Aase Berg, author of Hackers The House of the Tree of Sores is made of experimental, fable-like poems tightly woven with Swedish-English translingual word plays that mock and counter-weave America''s imperial English, its values and lifestyle so deeply entrenched in global economy and violence. It''s a stunning debut that only a translator-poet could have written-Paul Cunningham. -Don Mee Choi, author of DMZ Colony and translator of Kim Hyesoon''s Autobiography of Death Isolation is rife in Cunningham''s rooms (internal and external) dominated by decay and faltering voices. As the isolation creeps into more populated zones, a cacophony of systemic gore and dismemberment overtakes the reader right before it settles back down for readerly digestion. Furniture is grotesque. Transportation spits at you. Heads of cabbage, coconuts, and onions smile at the reader before it''s chopping time. The House of the Tree of Sores portrays a nightmarish world of the known, and it''s the one we live in. Honestly, this book scares me, and I cherish that fear. -Ed Steck, author of An Interface for a Fractal Landscape In the mega-store, our desires are transposed into places of access. To want milk is to look for a kitchen first. Cunningham furnishes a more liminal space as he draws the idealized shopper back into the bullet-torn bodies of war, an assistant manager learning how to lucid dream, or the confused children through which commodities speak: "My son screams, I am a fall hazard. My daughter screams, I am a strangulation hazard." A pointed derangement of the built world and its cultures. -Greg Nissan, author of The City is Lush / With Obstructed Views
