Further thoughts on the cultural labor of poetry and art. Not merely "is it good?," but "what has it accomplished?"...reviews of recent poetry collections; selected poems and art dealing with war/peace/social change; reviews of poetry readings; links to political commentary (particularly on conflicts in the Middle East); youtubed performances of music, demos, and other audio-video nuggets dealing with peaceful change, dissent and resistance.

for the record, the tattoo is the final tercet of "song of myself" by whitman:
failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
missing me one place search another,
i stop somewhere waiting for you.
Yes, strictly speaking, though Whitman himself called "The United States" the greatest poem....
