Political

"Your art gives wings to our striving..." Daniel Berrigan

"It is heartening in an age of surprising apathy, to encounter poetry so committed to the union of art and life. These poems are rarely about just one thing, but are pointing to the interconnectedness of all things. They bring home the web of history, race, economics, exploitation, and stifling conformity which surrounds us. These are really songs of resistance, whose harsh truths are tempered by the nobility of action and the beauty of the natural world." - Keith Althaus

“A great little book of great little poems, some personal, some political, all heartfelt. Hauntingly illustrated. Inspirational.” - Michael Mandel

"Published just before the end of 2005, this collection of poems is dedicated to the disappeared and encompasses colonial oppression, wars of liberation, prison, those who died on 9/11 and in the 'war on terror,' lies of politicians, but also love, natural beauty, and truth. This book reminds busy activists of the power of just a few words and art to touch people on a different level than articles and speeches can." - Ruth Benn, Nonviolent Activist

"It is always a pleasure to see what can be accomplished by Canadians when they passionately engage all their talents and resources to shape their dreams. Your efforts have produced a wonderful collection, as well as beautiful drawings, that can be enjoyed by Canadians across the country." - Michaëlle Jean as Governor General of Canada
