Borrowing its name from the notorious '60s Ed Sanders magazine,
"Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts," the editors have figured a way
to rehone its countercultural and frictional stance with style and
aplomb. A unique and provocative anthology of lesbian writing,
guaranteed to soothe the soulful and savage the soulless.

From her activism to her passionate writings, June Jordan (1936 -
2002) is one of the most revered American poets of our time.
Jordan's writing simultaneously provokes delight and energy while
urging reflection on American society and its injustices. In Still
Seeking an Attitude, the first reflection on her legacy, Jordan's
life and works are explored in depth and detail, focusing on
subjects ranging from her use of language and linguistics to her
political activism and role in children's literature. These
critical examinations elucidate the power and poetry of Jordan's
words, serving as an exciting supplement for those already familiar
with Jordan and an excellent guide for anyone discovering her works
for the first time.
The Right has been using the culture wars to divide and conquer for
years, but in 2004, that strategy was given a new twist. In an
election where women's votes were key, the Bush team used highly
placed female appointees to run cover for the most reactionary
administration of our time. Flanders predicted gender would be
crucial in the 2004 race. Her prescient book is the first to
investigate the Bush administration's estrogen shield. Bushwomen
exposes Condoleeza Rice's complicity in human rights crimes, Lynne
Cheney's lesbian novel, Karen Hughes' debt to NOW, and an
insightful new chapter takes a bracing look at the 2004 election
and the era to come. A New York Times bestseller, Bushwomen is the
only book to unmask how the most powerful women in the world are
using the rhetoric of women's rights to advance an unpopular
corporate agenda around the globe.
