DescriptionMad Kamp is a scrapbook of Pinoy Piyyutim chronicling the schizophrenic journey of a Psychiatric Survivor. Mad Kamp weaves a variety of poetic genres, from traditional free verse to contemporary spoken word, indented to the right of the page: a simple, stylistic signature that grafts the mysticism of Kabbalah with Kundiman kisses into a wild, bamboo branch of fresh, revelatory ink. The heightened language in Mad Kamp invites the casual reader into disorientation - as involuntary electroshock - invoking Arthur Rimbaud's Une Saison en Enfer and Allen Ginsberg's Howl. Ultimately, Mad Kamp hopes to galvanize the Reform Psychiatry Movement from virtual obscurity toward Global Liberation, all the while encouraging the nameless, faceless, persecuted savants to dance courageously to the heartbeat of their own Rainbow Djembe. About the AuthorEliyahu Enriquez is a Queer Abolitionist, born the Year of the Dragon 1976. As an undergrad, he was straitjacketed and labeled Schizophrenic. Soon after, he completed a B.A. in Psychology from Fordham University at Lincoln Center and has since worked in various Therapeutic-State settings. A stellar resume did not save him from the unforgiving tentacles of the psychiatric pimp industry, administering systematic violence by forcibly ingesting/injecting/abusing him. Discharge after discharge, their Big Pharma-magic did not cure him. The theft of his dignity only spurred him toward justice. He recalls the echo of ""Quiet Room"" torture chambers from within the sinister hallway. Squeaky Gurney. Asphyxiating Straps. The victims of psychiatric concentration camps haunt him as he assimilates into society's modi operandi: business-as-usual. Do you hear their totes drag on in a hopeless haze, step-by-sedated-step? Our struggle for Liberation continues. He will not wait for calculated manifestations of psychiatric terminology. Eliyahu davens, in accelerated bows toward Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, like prophetic madmen of old: ""May we merit the collapse of the psychiatric monstrosity in our lifetime, ameyn?"" Ameyn!

DEADLY NINJA WISDOM FOR THE NON-NINJA Carefully consider the joy of your soft-headed ignorance before you begin to run, flip, and jump along the Ninja Path. After much debate and in a spirit of morbid amusement, the International Order of Ninjas has chosen to produce The Ninja Handbook, the first-ever secret ninja training guide specifically designed for the non-ninja. Most non-ninjas who handle these delicate, deadly pages will die–probably in an elaborately horrific and painful manner. But whether your journey lasts five seconds or five days or (rather inconceivably) five years, all those who bravely take up this text and follow the tenets and trials laid out within will die knowing they were as ninja as they possibly could’ve been. For the true of heart or the extremely lucky, this powerful and honorable manuscript contains such phenomenal ninja wisdom as: •How to create and name your very own lethal ninja clan •The proper weapon to use when fighting a vampire pumpkin •Why clowns and robots are so dangerous on the Internet •Easy-to-follow charts showing when to slice and when to stab •How to execute such ultradeadly kicks as the Driving Miss Daisy •Why pretty much every ninja movie ever made sucks •How to make a shoggoth explode using well-placed foliage •What the heck a shoggoth is and why you’ll need to make it explode •Death Aide certification •And much more ninjafied enlightenment on every shuriken-sharp page! Remember: People do not take the Path, the Path takes people.
