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.

How can you tell the dancer from the dance? A Beirut Flash Mob
This was sent to me by my father, who loved to point out whatever Lebanese Arab had "made good" in American culture; whether it was Kasey Kasem or Paula Abdul or Ralph Nader or Khalil Gibran, it didn't matter their stature or their gravitas. I'm sending this with a shout-out to my father, who never met a debke or hafle that he didn't like.
