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.

"Every War Has Two Losers": The Film about Poet and Conscientious Objector William Stafford
Please order this short film for your library (your at-home library, and your public/academic libraries); it's a great resource to teach Stafford's work, and its relationship to pacifism. I got to see the first cut at the Stafford Symposium in 2009, and was moved by it, even though I already knew the story. Director Haydn Reiss makes smart use of Stafford's notebook selections from Every War Has Two Losers, the book version.
