In "Near-Earth Object” (@PressUnbound), poet John Shoptaw emphasizes that resilience and creation are as much a part of our behavioral repertoire as violence and despoliation. New review by Lee Rossi in our Online Edition: raintaxi.com/near-earth-obj…

"I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense." ~ David Lynch

America, wake up. Words like 'evil' and 'stupid' are irrelevant: the man is mad. Out of his mind. Deranged. Seeing things that aren't there. He needs to be in psychiatric care. Who among you is going to admit this and take charge of the situation?

"Businessmen became politicians and were acclaimed as statesmen, while statesmen were taken seriously only if they talked the language of successful businessmen." — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

“Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.” —Edna St. Vincent Millay:

In very difficult times, we side with what's human, with what people have made, with what communities gather around. For us, that is books. We are here to advance books written by humans, edited by humans, designed by humans, and connecting humans. Let's keep humanity thriving, together. #books #writingcommunity #authors #poetry #poets #literary
