Announced on Constitution Day (September 17) and officially releasing on Indigenous Peoples' Day (October 12), the third publication from AMP Press turns to the writings of Zitkala-Ša (1876–1938), a Yankton Dakota violinist, composer, writer, educator, and activist who lived and wrote inside an American contradiction--a nation whose framers are said to have drawn on Haudenosaunee political structure, yet denied Native Americans citizenship until 1924, following centuries of genocide.

This collection is unique in centering not so much her music as her ear, featuring the sacred silence and open listening of the Dakota tradition she inherited. Sound moves through her writing as both liberation and subjugation, joy and terror.

An introductory essay attunes the reader, followed by spiritual reflections, poetry, traditional legends, and personal dreams. The first half traces her spiritual identity and cosmology, centered on "Why I Am a Pagan" and its later revision, "The Great Spirit"—both included so we can witness how her thinking evolved—bridged by a visionary poem. The second half turns to legend and dream, including a devouring baby hellmouth, a trickster's death-song for ducks, the white man's devil, and an affirmational vision gifted by her grandfather.

Limited first edition of 30 — each signed and numbered with a hand-carved linoleum relief cover, hand-painted red bird, and a portrait of Zitkala-Ša on rice paper. 38 pages. US shipping included.

Accepting preorders now for October 12 release and shipping.

SOLD OUT: Stay tuned for a second edition in November!

AMP Press No. 2: Solomonic Magic & Sun Ra's Cymbal Symbols by Matt Marble Limited First Edition: 25 signed & numbered copies $24 | SHIPPING INCLUDED (US only)

After spotting some cymbals "with numerological figures" in the University of Chicago's Alton Abraham Collection of Sun Ra, I had to dig deeper for the AMP Journal. Adapted from that scholarly but accessible essay, this print book explores the Solomonic magic and astrology represented on his cymbal, becoming a portal into Venusian perspectives and Solomonic mythology, including Arkestral lore, Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, magic carpets, an 18th century mystical commune, and more--featuring hand-drawn pentacles and other figures.

Each issue includes a rice paper print of a 1920s era Ephrata Cloister printing plate, stapled into the book's interior--featuring the seventh angel of the Apocalypse, blowing the horn that ushers in the Heavenly Kingdom. It's a fitting companion as this book harmonizes Sun Ra's Venusian and Solomonic symbolism with this 18th century mystical community--the first religious refugees in the New World.

Released today (9/11/2026) to honor Venus's entrance into Scorpio--our home sign--and to offer this book as a seal of cosmic joy and compassion, a metaphysical counter-force to the weight this date now carries.

This scarcely-regarded 1851 essay by the Poughkeepsie Seer and Harmonial philosopher Andrew Jackson Davis is being reissued to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This essay offers one of the clearest introductions to Davis' "Harmonial" philosophy and an impassioned critique of religious dogma and errant power that still feels fresh today.

This is a limited edition, saddle-stapled, laser-printed booklet with a handprinted linocut cover. It also includes a 10-page introduction by AMP director Matt Marble which contextualizes Davis' writing, both defending his work from misplaced maligning while critiquing the racial paradox situated in his Harmonial vision, as well as in the original Declaration of Independence and the American psyche itself.

The first ten copies will include an original relief print of the Seventh Angel of the Apocalypse, printed from a rare early twentieth-century reproduction plate after an image in the Ephrata Cloister’s ABC Book (1750). One of the earliest mystical communities in colonial America, the Ephrata press later printed the first German-language edition of the Declaration of Independence. In Revelation, the Seventh Angel heralds not another plague, but the fulfillment of a new divine order.

The first month of sales will be donated to the NorthStar Church, a sanctuary for marginalized creatives and those who bear witness, in Durham, North Carolina:
