What makes a man? Or, rather, what kind of men are we, and how did we get like this? In GENTRY, Scott Zieher answers those questions by means of a wondrous, heady, heart-rending recapitulation.
Green Girl    by Kate Zambreno

Drive Me Out of My Mind    by Chad Faries

Drive Me Out of My Mind is a coming-of-age story of wildness and wandering set primarily in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan — its abandoned iron mines, desperate small towns, and heart-breaking bars. It’s the memoir of a boy raised by lawless and itinerant women and how he was cultured — and corrupted — by their hard-living, hard-drinking, and hard-loving ways.
Strata    by Ewa Chrusciel
Price: $9.00 USD. 14360 words. Published by Emergency Press  on March 16, 2011. .
Strata is a series of interconnected lyric prose poems that fluctuate between order and chaos like flocks of swallows rearranging themselves in flight. The rhythmic oscillation of the poems builds into a postmodern story that weaves through the life of a poet who’s migrated from Poland to the U.S.
Various Men Who Knew Us as Girls    by Cris Mazza
Price: $9.00 USD. 98210 words. Published by Emergency Press  on December 31, 2010. .
“Cris Mazza has interwoven the stories of three contemporary women—one tempted, one involved, and one enslaved—in a fiercely honest novel about the continuum from flirtation to abuse. The story is feminist in the best sense. It wipes aside the pieties around the subject of harrasment to probe the multiple realities of desire.” — Janet Burroway
Slut Lullabies    by Gina Frangello
Price: $9.00 USD. 72100 words. Published by Emergency Press  on July 5, 2010. .
With Slut Lullabies, Gina Frangello continues her exploration of the power dynamics of gender, class, and sexuality in this collection of diverse, vibrant short fiction. Each insightfully drawn, deeply felt character moves delicately amid the despair and wreckage of ordinary life, but always towards hope.
American Junkie    by Tom Hansen
Price: $9.00 USD. 72690 words. Published by Emergency Press  on March 28, 2010. .
American Junkie is the story of a musician and heroin dealer during the punk and grunge movements in Seattle. It's American. It’s human underground. Tom Hansen takes us non-stop into a land of desperate addicts, failed punk bands, and brushes with sad fame when Seattle could do no wrong.
