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.

"Six Ways to Make the World a Better Place" by my six-year-old, Adele Metres
Completely uninstigated by parental strongarming, Adele produced something of a mandala this morning, what she called six ways to make the world a better place. Here they are, translations in parens.
1. Praya: (Prayer)
2. Pecs: (Peace)
3. Stop War
4. Cleners: (Clean Up Earth)
5. Dotrobr: (Don't Rob)
6. Dotlevat: (Don't Leave [Anybody] Out)

The apple falleth not far from the tree . From both parents.
Peace is both natural & socially learned . Quoting Gandhi, " I must become the peace I wish to see in the world" .
What a great job you as parents have modeled for your children.
Love,
Dad
