Chapter One: Selling Snowballs in the Snow

This is the first chapter from "The Avenue: a Novel" published in Fall 2025.
The Avenue is a novel about a single mother who works at an antique store – in 2004 before the stock market crash, when the antique stores had just started popping up everywhere in the increasingly white-on-white gentrified Hampden, Baltimore. It’s about wanting a better world and living in this one. It’s about a mango margarita and a record store guy. It’s about feeling like shit and selling expensive things. It’s about value, matter, and objects changing hands.
From groundbreaking zinester and essayist China Martens comes a raw, luminous debut novel that transforms the gritty everyday of working-class Baltimore into something transcendent. Following Mattie, a thirty-eight-year-old single mom navigating precarious employment, teenage chaos, and heartbreak on The Avenue, Martens crafts an unflinching portrait of survival that pulses with magic and beauty.

Quilts as Publishing

These days, I identify as a writer and a quilter. My great grandmother sewed clothes for three generations of her family and made a quilt of the scraps for my mother when I was an infant. I grew up playing on that quilt on my parent's bed, and hearing stories from the memories. This essay I wrote in 2024 explores how making a quilt is like publishing a book. It is part of a collection of writing I am working on.

"Who is s/he/they? Mother Artist: work is easy, motherhood more difficult. Is motherhood the last taboo? For a serious artist to admit, contain, show their (maternal) body?"

Revolutionary Mothering: Love On The Frontlines

China Martens, along with Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Mai'a Williams, is a co-editor of REVOLUTIONARY MOTHERING: LOVE ON THE FRONT LINES (PM Press, 2016).
Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer black feminists of the 1970s and ’80s, Revolutionary Mothering places marginalized mothers of color at the center of a world of necessary transformation. The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender, and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist, and queer liberation are the same challenges that many mothers face every day. Oppressed mothers create a generous space for life in the face of life-threatening limits, activate a powerful vision of the future while navigating tangible concerns in the present, move beyond individual narratives of choice toward collective solutions, live for more than ourselves, and remain accountable to a future that we cannot always see. Revolutionary Mothering is a movement-shifting anthology committed to birthing new worlds, full of faith and hope for what we can raise up together.
“Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines is juicy, gutsy, vulnerable, and very brave. A radical vision, many radical visions of how to mother in a time of resistance and of pain.” —Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and activist
“Although it is primarily written for mothers of all ages, the issues that are raised—about family, love, struggle, sacrifice, and acceptance—are universal as they speak to the revolutionary that exists within all of us.” —Karsonya Wise Whitehead, PhD, assistant professor of communication and African and African American studies, Loyola University Maryland

The Avenue: A Novel

The Avenue is a novel about a single mother who works at an antique store – in 2004 before the stock market crash, when the antique stores had just started popping up everywhere in the increasingly white-on-white gentrified Hampden, Baltimore. It’s about wanting a better world and living in this one. It’s about a mango margarita and a record store guy. It’s about feeling like shit and selling expensive things. It’s about value, matter, and objects changing hands.

From groundbreaking zinester and essayist China Martens comes a raw, luminous debut novel that transforms the gritty everyday of working-class Baltimore into something transcendent. Following Mattie, a thirty-eight-year-old single mom navigating precarious employment, teenage chaos, and heartbreak on The Avenue, Martens crafts an unflinching portrait of survival that pulses with magic and beauty.

Part love story, part social commentary, The Avenue captures the razor-thin balance between desire and necessity as Mattie moves from grocery store salad bar to antique shop, all while wrestling with her daughter's troubled relationship and her own devastating affair with the magnetic record store owner who becomes both salvation and ruin.

Martens writes with the unflinching honesty of her zine roots and the poetic sensibility of a born storyteller, finding magic in thrift store treasures, meaning in discarded objects, and hope in some of the most unlikely places. This is literature that refuses to look away from the complexities of class, motherhood, and longing in America—a stunning debut that establishes Martens as an essential new voice in contemporary fiction.

Chloé Caldwell's Trying (Greywolf Press, August, 2025) asks, "If you’re writing about your life in real time, are you inherently fucked?"
These new memoirs—both written in real time as the stories were unfolding—chronicle the years-long medical crises that redefine their authors' lives and marriages. Caldwell writes about unexplained infertility and the endless cycle of fertility treatments; Gore documents her wife's four-years living with Stage 4 breast cancer.
Both books reject traditional recovery narratives—exploring instead what Jack Halberstam called “the queer art of failure.” Gore’s marriage deepens, but her wife dies. Caldwell’s husband had been living the double life of an addict and that came to light after she was deep in my book. She'd also been struggling with her queerness. So her marriage ends and yet she's happiest she's ever been—free and gay.
Together, these authors could offer a powerful conversation about writing through ongoing crisis, challenging medical systems that often fail women, and finding meaning without conventional happy endings.
Hear two acclaimed memoirists discuss the ethics and craft of real-time life writing, the ways medical uncertainty reshapes identity and relationships, and how to radically redefine what it means to "succeed" when facing the limits of what medicine—and life—can promise.

mango margarita

After I left the bank I passed a Mexican restaurant and I saw they had a special on mango margaritas. It was written on the chalk sign in front with a pastel drawing of the drink, and it sounded good. I’d never had one before, and wasn’t in the practice of even drinking plain margaritas to tell you the truth. But that’s what someone should do on a hot summer day in the city when they’ve just cashed their paycheck and the money’s all going to what it always goes to—bills—and there’s not much to look forward to. I felt like a sailor on leave who wanted to have a good time, but I knew there was nothing for me on The Avenue—nothing anywhere, really. This wasn’t an exotic port but just life, just a neighborhood in North Baltimore, everywhere behind the fool’s gold rubbed thin, and I really couldn’t relate to anyone. And nothing felt magic.

THE FUTURE GENERATION: A Zine-Book for Subculture Parents, Kids, Friends & Others

TENTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY - SECOND EDITION- Spring, 2017:
https://secure.pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=893

China Martens started her pioneering mamazine The Future Generation in 1990. She was a young anarchist punk rock mother who didn't feel that the mamas in her community had enough support, so she began publishing articles on radical parenting in an age before the internet.

The anthology of her zine, The Future Generation: The Zine-Book for Subculture Parents, Kids, Friends & Others, was first printed in 2007 and has been out of print for many years. Covering sixteen years, it uses individual issues as chapters, focusing on personal writing, and retaining the character of a zine that changed over the years—from her daughter’s birth to teenagehood and beyond.

We are proud to present a tenth-anniversary edition including a new afterword by China's grown daughter. The Future Generation remains a timeless resource for parents, caregivers, and those who care about them. Though first published in the 1990s, many of the essays and observations—about parenting, children, and surviving in a hostile political climate—still ring true today. The next four years are going to be especially demanding for those trying to balance parenting, politics, and survival. We're going to need the voices and experiences in The Future Generation now more than ever.

Praise:

“The original punk parent zine.”
—Ariel Gore, Hip Mama

“Martens has been writing since long before the mommy wars were a media trope, but her work is a powerful response to punditry casting institutional and political problems as personal issues of 'work-life balance' for mothers (notably, not fathers).”
—Lisa Jervis, Bitch magazine

“The Future Generation is a must read for anyone who wants to understand Adrienne Rich's idea of mothering (Of Woman Born) based on the mother's own experience, not the patriarchal definition of motherhood in which mothers must be surveilled, controlled, advised, and punished. For here is an evolution of mothering, a memoir of a conscious mother. Get it. Read it. Pass it on.”
—Katherine Arnoldi, author of The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom and All Things Are Labor

“I am deeply inspired by The Future Generation. I remember feeling seen, held, and affirmed when I read the anthology. I felt like I had a sister in all the complex things I was feeling as a new mother.”
—Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie, author of Karma’s Footsteps and Dear Continuum: Letters to a Poet Crafting Liberation

“The Future Generation is deeply touching and eye-openingly intimate.”
—Jordannah Elizabeth, author of Don’t Lose Track

China Martens’ “The Future Generation” zine, which she started in 1990, two years after her daughter Clover’s birth, was an unconventional but necessary radical parenting guide. Less of a “how-to” and more of a “how-I-did-it,” this second-edition anthology of 16 years of “The Future Generation” issues offers Martens’ firsthand insight as a young single mother, pushing against the solitude of both parenthood and childhood, advocating for collective, nurturing environments for kids, taking a closer look at how society influences or provides for kids—and how it doesn’t quite do enough.

Revolutionary Mothering: Love On The Front Lines

- Co-edited with Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Mai'a Williams -

“Revolutionary Mothering: Love on the Front Lines is juicy, gutsy, vulnerable, and very brave. A radical vision, many radical visions of how to mother in a time of resistance and of pain.” —Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and activist

“For women of color, mothering—the art of mothering—has been framed by the most virulent systems, historically: enslavement, colonialism, capitalism, imperialism. We have had few opportunities to define mothering not only as an aspect of individual lives and choices, but as the processes of love and as a way of structuring community. Revolutionary Mothering arrives as a needed balm.”

—Alexis De Veaux, author of Warrior Poet: A Biography of Audre Lorde

“Although it is primarily written for mothers of all ages, the issues that are raised—about family, love, struggle, sacrifice, and acceptance—are universal as they speak to the revolutionary that exists within all of us.”
—Karsonya Wise Whitehead, PhD, assistant professor of communication and African and African American studies, Loyola University Maryland

“We can learn to mother ourselves.” Audre Lorde, 1983

All mothers have the potential to be revolutionary. Some mothers stand on the shoreline, are born and reborn here, inside the flux of time and space, overcoming the traumatic repetition of oppression. Our very existence is disobedience to the powers that be.

At times, in moments, we as mothers choose to stand in a zone of claimed risk and fierce transformation, the frontline. In infinite ways, both practiced and yet to be imagined, we put our bodies between the violent repetition of the norm and the future we already deserve, exactly because our children deserve it too. We make this choice for many reasons and in different contexts, but at the core we have this in common: we refuse to obey. We refuse to give into fear. We insist on joy no matter what and by every means necessary and possible.

In this anthology we are exploring how we are informed by and participating with those mothers, especially radical women of color, who have sought for decades, if not centuries, to create relationships to each other, transformative relationships to feminism and a transnational anti-imperialist literary, cultural and everyday practice.

Sometimes for radical mamas, our mothering in radical community makes visible the huge gulfs between communities, between parents and non-parents, in class and other privileges AND most importantly the wide gulf between what we say in activist communities and what we actually do. Radical mothering is the imperative to build bridges that allow us to relate across these very real barriers. For and by radical mother of color, but also inclusive of other working class, marginalized, low income, no income radical mothers.

Radical Childcare: The Kidz City Model

Kidz City Baltimore is an anarcha-feminist collective, composed predominately of non-parents working as allies to support parents’ and children’s participation at social justice gatherings and events in Baltimore, Maryland. We started at the City from Below Conference in 2009. After working together at many subsequent events—including book-fairs, community dinners, and conferences such as the Fair Development Conference, DIY Fest, and IWW Convention—certain organizing patterns and methods emerged. We started to develop our own model for organizing collective support for caregivers and children.

Don't Leave Your Friends Behind: Concrete Ways to Support Families in Social Justice Movements and Communities

Don't Leave Your Friends Behind, edited by Victoria Law and China Martens, is a collection of concrete tips, suggestions, and narratives on ways that non-parents can support parents, children, and caregivers in their communities, social movements, and collective processes. Don't Leave Your Friends Behind focuses on issues affecting children and caregivers within the larger framework of social justice, mutual aid, and collective liberation.

How do we create new, nonhierarchical structures of support and mutual aid, and include all ages in the struggle for social justice? There are many books on parenting, but few on being a good community member and a good ally to parents, caregivers, and children as we collectively build a strong all-ages culture of resistance. Any group of parents will tell you how hard their struggles are and how they are left out, but no book focuses on how allies can address issues of caretakers' and children's oppression. Many well-intentioned childless activists don't interact with young people on a regular basis and don't know how. Don't Leave Your Friends Behind provides them with the resources and support to get started.

"All told, the collection is stimulating, and whether we are parents, eldercare providers, or simply concerned human beings, inclusivity - not leaving anyone behind - is key to making the changes we wish to see. After all, if another world is possible, doesn't it have to include the young, the old and the in between - whether able-bodied or not?"
