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.

That's what we get for voting in a moderate Republican -
Not Social Security Poetry Not anti war poetry. Not anti poverty poetry. Not pro Union poetry. Not pro jobs poetry. Not universal health care poetry. Not pro schools poetry. Not gay marriage poetry. Those are not poetry nor are they Obama policies. Yeah war. Yeah Wall Street. Yeah Insurance companies. Yeah shredded safety net. That's poetry.
