Get Fresh Books Publishing
Get Fresh Books Publishing is a non-profit, cooperative press devoted to amplifying diverse voices in poetry and making the publication process accessible to marginalized communities. Our primary objective is to provide opportunities for underrepresented voices by eliminating economic and societal barriers, such as submission fees and contests, which may inhibit marginalized voices from contributing to the literary conversation. As a cooperative press, we encourage manuscript submissions from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and people living with mental illnesses. By doing so, we explicitly reject any “ism” or phobia which seeks to suppress the voices of those who receive insufficient or inadequate representation in literature. In the four short years of our founding, we have been able to preserve our commitment to diversity and inclusivity by publishing the work of 12 talented and distinct poets, whose poetry cover a wide range of topics from ethnicity, sexuality and religion to immigration, suicide and discrimination. Our press’s cooperative process of integrating the ideas and skills of our poets, editors and publisher have given us the ability to bring fresh and diverse voices into the literary world. With the help of donations, grants and private investments, we have been able to publish each literary work without charging a single submission fee to ensure that poets and writers of all ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, and economic statuses would have their voices heard.

Business, Economics & LawNovember 2024The Island Book of Records Volume II
1969-70
by Neil Storey
The second volume of this highly collectable series, covering the pivotal years of 1969-70. The Island Book of Records Volume II documents the years 1969-70, during which Island sought to build on its success with the Spencer Davis Group by seeking out new British rock talent. By the end of the period, Island was emerging as a major British label, one that could boast releases from Jethro Tull, Nick Drake, King Crimson, John and Beverley Martyn, Fairport Convention and Cat Stevens. Featuring material from recent interviews and from media interviews of the time, and including a comprehensive discography of 45s, The Island Book of Records Volume II is lavishly illustrated with gig adverts (very many at venues that no longer exist), concert tickets, flyers, international LP variants, labels, LP and 45 adverts and other ephemera collector's dream.

The ArtsApril 2025Studio Electrophonique
The Sheffield space age, from The Human League to Pulp
by Jamie Taylor
The amazing story of the home studio that helped launch some of Britain's most beloved bands. The Sheffield space age began in 1961, when local mechanic Ken Patten won a tape-recording competition by recreating the sound of a rocket launch using a pencil and a bicycle pump. In the decades that followed, the makeshift home studio he constructed became the launch pad for a group of young musicians who would shape the futuristic sound of 1980s pop. The Human League, Heaven 17, Pulp, ABC and others made their early recordings with Ken, whose DIY ethic was the perfect fit for a city facing industrial decline but teeming with ideas. Studio Electrophonique tells the story of a generation seeking new frontiers in music, using everything they could lay their hands on - from science fiction novels to glam rock, Dada art and cheap electronics - to get there. Drawing on original interviews with Jarvis Cocker, Martyn Ware, Mark White and others, it brings to light a world of humour, charm, creativity and unfounded yet undaunted self-belief.

Children's & YAJune 2021T wie Tessa - Plötzlich Geheimagentin (Band 1)
by Frauke Scheunemann
T for Tessa - Suddenly Secret Agent (Vol. 1) T for Tessa and top secret! The first volume of a new secret agent series combines coolness, a touch of romance, and a ton of humor as Tessa trips into her first detective case. Together with her Mongolian gerbil Hector, a talking sidekick, Tessa soon turns into a real top-notch agent. Of course, she still retains her chaotic nature, which makes for a lot of situation comedy. Extremely shy and clumsy – it’s no wonder Tessa would rather be someone else. Like a member of Gimme Four, for example, the super famous girl group at her school. Then the unimaginable happens: Tessa passes the audition and makes it into the band! But it’s not exactly what she thought it would be. The rehearsals are disrupted by sketchy fans, wild chases at night, and ruthless mafiosi. And Tessa’s new band mates seem to have other hobbies besides music. Or how else would you explain the weapons in the instrument cases?

Biography & True StoriesSeptember 2024Bedsit land
The strange worlds of Soft Cell
by Patrick Clarke
A rich and revealing examination of the legendary pop duo Soft Cell. Soft Cell are not your average pop band. Marc Almond and Dave Ball may be best known for the string of hits they released in 1981, but the powerful first phase of their collaboration embraced a staggering array of sounds, influences and innovations that would change the face of music to come. In Bedsit land, Patrick Clarke plunges into the archives and interviews more than sixty contributors, including the band members themselves, to follow Soft Cell through the many strange and sprawling worlds that shaped their extraordinary career. They lead him from the faded camp glamour of the British seaside to the dizzying thrills of the New York club scene. From transgressive student performance art to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho. From the glitz of British showbiz to the drug-addled chaos of post-Franco Spain. He emerges on the other side with the most in-depth, innovative and entertaining account of the duo ever written.

September 1986Die Gedichte in einem Band
by Rainer Maria Rilke
Dieser Band - anläßlich Rilkes 60. Todestags - versammelt die Quintessenz seines lyrischen Schaffens. In der Reihenfolge ihrer Entstehung enthält er neben sämtlichen zu Lebzeiten des Autors veröffentlichten Gedichtzyklen auch jene Gedichte aus seinem reichhaltigen Nachlaß, die Rilkes Ruhm als einen der bedeutendsten und einflußreichsten Lyriker deutscher Sprache gefestigt haben. Von den Gedichten des Zwanzigjährigen aus der Zeit vor der Jahrhundertwende bis zur sublimen Bewußtseinslyrik des in den »Duineser Elegien« und den »Sonetten an Orpheus« gipfelnden Spätwerks können wir somit die Entwicklung eines Autors verfolgen, der das deutsche Gedicht auf eine neue Ebene der Bewußtheit gehoben und zugleich unserer Sprache eine Musikalität und Geschmeidigkeit erschlossen hat, die einzigartig ist in der modernen Lyrik.

June 1989Tübinger Vorlesungen Band 3. Die frühgriechische Lyrik
by Wolfgang Schadewaldt, Ingeborg Schudoma, Maria Schadewaldt
Dieser dritte Band der »Tübinger Vorlesungen« Wolfgang Schadewaldts behandelt nach Philosophie und Geschichtsschreibung die griechische Lyrik, ein weites Gebiet, auf dem Schadewaldt seit seinem frühen Buch Der Aufbau des Pindarischen Epinikion von 1928 immer wieder gearbeitet hat. Die Vielfalt der literarischen Formen entspricht der Verschiedenheit der Lebensformen in dieser Zeit, in der zum ersten Mal auch das Individuelle in den Blick kommt: der lyrische Dichter spricht von sich selbst, und wir kennen seinen Namen.

by Frauke Scheunemann
T for Tessa - Codeword Lotus Flower (Vol. 2) From Hamburg Harbour to Rotterdam - Tessa topsecret!Shooting training, karate, heart palpitations and band rehearsals - Tessa Neumann's comfortable life has finally come to an end since she "accidentally" became an agent of the internationally operating secret service R.I.N.G. Now she's out to put a stop to the masterminds of organized crime.And it’s Tessa's first mission to be involved from the very beginning! Quite stressful but usually absolutely okay, if not now of all times Timo Erhardt, the crush of her sleepless nights, would show interest in her. How can fate throw such lousy timing at her? Actually, Tessa would really like to take a break, but evil never sleeps, as we all know. The scene of the crime in this mission is the port of Hamburg. Here, the customs investigation has uncovered 16 tons of cocaine in the container of a cargo ship. A remarkable catch! But one thing soon becomes clear to Tessa, her band mates and the Mongolian gerbil Hector: the real culprits are not in Hamburg, but in Rotterdam. There a cat-and-mouse game begins, in which the girls have to show what they are made of. With their combined forces, they manage to lure the criminals into a trap so that the Dutch police can arrest them. But mousy Hector discovers that drugs are not the only commodity being smuggled across Europe via Rotterdam: In fact, one of the smugglers is also dealing in exotic animals, animals listed as Endangered Species, so they can't be imported. But be assured, Hector wouldn't be Hector if he didn't do everything he could to save the animals!

November 1978Tübinger Vorlesungen Band 1. Die Anfänge der Philosophie bei den Griechen
Die Vorsokratiker und ihre Voraussetzungen
by Wolfgang Schadewaldt, Ingeborg Schudoma, Ingeborg Schudoma, Maria Schadewaldt
Band 1 der Tübinger Vorlesungen Wolfgang Schadewaldts aus den Jahren 1950-1972 thematisiert die frühgriechische Philosophie vor ihrer Wende durch Sokrates. Ausgehend von den Anfängen des griechischen Denkens, dem Bild des Kosmos und des Menschen bei Homer, der Spekulation über Weltentstehung und Weltordnung in der Lehrdichtung Hesiods, der aus einer neuen Gesellschaft erwachsenen, politisch-philosophische Rechtsideen entwickelnden Elegiendichtung Solons erweist Schadewaldt im ersten Teil der Vorlesung die Präformation der Philosophie in der griechischen Sprache, ihrer Grammatik, ihrer Struktur. Dem schließt sich an eine Herkunfts- und Bedeutungsanalyse der bis auf Platon und Aristoteles wirksamen und noch heute denkerisch verwendeten philosophischen Begriffe. Die beiden Hauptteile der Vorlesung betreffen die erhaltenen Fragmente der vorsokratischen Philosophen wie die indirekten Zeugnisse über sie.
