Behind the Lines: Poetry, War, & Peacemaking

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.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!/"Creation Story on Magnolia Drive"

Check out "Creation Story on Magnolia Drive" at the CrisisChronicles Online Library--I'm rubbing elbows with Dostoevsky. One of the secret base texts for this poem is the Iroquois Creation Story. Happy Indigenous Peoples Day, everybody!

Thanks for the link! The photo speaks volumes: "War Is Over"? "Perhaps at Some Point"
