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.

Phil,
Still haven't received my copy of the anthology. Are you in touch or do you have contact info for the editors?
Tyrone
Tyrone, are you talking about COME TOGETHER: IMAGINE PEACE or INCLINED TO SPEAK: CONTEMPORARY ARAB AMERICAN POETRY?
No--Poets for Palestine. I sent a check for 16.00 to the address of the editor in NYC. Never heard--orreceieved--anything.
Tyrone
