The novel, The Invisible Hand, by Douglas Cole, delves into the depths that actions, both benevolent and malevolent, resonate within society…and the limited level of impact we may actually have in fighting against a system barely sustaining many of us.

I played a small part in bringing this deep-energy book to the English reading audience. Powerful work by Margarita Velez Verbal, and a richly harmonious translation by Maria Del Castillo Sucerquia. Proud to say @UnsolicitedP is the publisher. Another star in the galaxy.
