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.

9/11 Reading, "The Idle Childless," and the Cleveland Poetry Scene
Thanks to John Burroughs (aka Jesus Crisis) for his review of the 9/11 reading at the Literary Cafe last month, and for the great pics of all the participants--I meant it when I said to Steve Goldberg that the Literary Cafe felt like the most vital poetry scene in Cleveland. Thanks to him and Nick and Amy Bracken Sparks, and all the Lit Cafe folks who come out to listen and read at the open mike.
Thank as well for JB/JC's recent posting of "The Idle Childless," one of the few poems that I've written that emerged out of animus...
