Incendium Radical Library

Petal by Chelsea Hart is now available on the online shop!

This book is about knowledge found in grief–of the body and its entanglements, and of the way it responds, moves, and is altered when someone leaves the earth.

The body,
holding the temporal discipline of capital
wants to move forward, but sometimes doesn’t.
Loss too opens a space
that is out of synch,
it stays very still.

Petal is Chelsea Hart's meditation on loss, love, ecology, motherhood, labour, of our entanglements and how we are always in collaboration in unintentional ways.

The book includes painting and illustrations by Julia Trybala

Excited to launch our latest book of poetry, Work & Love by Kat Capel.

A patchwork of romantic poetry and desperately h***y found texts. Work & Love is a blurring of the real - jumping castles, mummy issues, secrets - circling the topic of paid and unpaid intimacy in the 21st century.

The book will be available on the online shop tonight at 7pm and also at the new IRL bookshop in the foyer at The Substation.

We have moved!!
We are now located at The Substation in Newport in studio 10.

Our latest publication None of Us are Free Until all of Us are Free is now available on our online shop!

None of Us are Free Until all of Us are Free is a book of poems from people incarcerated.
At Incendium Radical Library we are interested in challenging the prison nation, (including policing) which have been and are currently used to further the colonial project and to oppress those most marginalised. Incendium Radical Library and Press believe incarceration creates trauma and violence and further dehumanises people. Through literature and art, we believe that poetry and other mediums of creativity open dialogue to promote compassion and build community.

None of Us are Free Until all of Us are Free includes poems written by Courtney White, Colleen Tayba, Stacey Edwards, Wendy Hill, Rebecca Amelung, Rebecca Collier, Helen Nguyen, Tracy Mison, Anneliese Kirchen, Courtney Pollard, Pauline Chantal Limpe, Samantha John, David McGettigan, Zoe, Renee, K**a, Courtney, Hayley, Ashleigh, Lauren, Lanie, Georgia, Erryn, Nicky .D., Jamie-Lee and Lana Gee.

The book includes a lino-cut poster by xjavifuegox.
There is also a very limited lino-cut print run of t-shirts available with book.All profits from this project are supporting the Incarcerated Trans & Gender Diverse Community Fund (https://au.gofundme.com/f/incarcerated-trans-amp-gender-diverse-community-fund).

We are excited to announce our latest publication Undocumented by A’isyiyah!

Undocumented is a narrative essay that weaves ancestral remembrance together with dreaming abolition to imagine a world founded upon principles of love and nurturance. It was written in conversation with community, alongside those who practise insurgent care in their daily lives, in hopes to grow strong roots for the next world.

A’isyiyah is a Batak and Jawa mama who grew up on unceded Cabrogal Land (South-West Sydney). They are invested in building strong communities founded upon intergenerational, ancestral and collective healing. They organise in community both autonomously and with Anticolonial Asian Alliance, a First Nations solidarity collective. They dream and study prison abolition and transformative justice, and are the vocalist of anticolonial erratic hardcore band Arafura.

Copies are $15 and available on our online shop at https://incendiumradicallibrary.bigcartel.com/
