Event Description

Within the covers of this sumptuous volume, you will find eighteen buoyant chapters that flow merrily on the rhythms of anarchy. Collectively, this confluence of texts constitutes a mixtape of radical ideas-in-action, hidden histories, rebel poems, prickly rants, black humor, intoxicating adventures, razor sharp polemics, slyly subversive stories and provocative parables-------a hydra-headed call to mutiny heralding an end to domination and invoking the beginnings of a life worth

Ron will be at Camas in person reading from his new book.



Live music will follow! Performances by:

The Drunken Rumis - esoteric free improvisation reaching for the heights of the ecstatic through the subconscious





About the Author

Ron Sakolsky was born in the wilds of Brooklyn, New York in the year that the first atomic bombs fell on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and the books Arcanum 17, The Passive Vampire, The Peyote Dance, Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders, Animal Farm, The Dunwich Horror, and Pippi Longstocking were first published. He shares a February 22 birthday with Hugo Ball, Luis Buñuel, Ishmael Reed, and Meridel Le Sueur, which explains everything.
