One of our classic best-sellers #book #anthology. While ostensibly set in the Pandemic years, it far exceeds a single focus, concentrating on interior/exterior responses to pain, illness, love, the surreal, fairy-tales, photo-works, queer, enclosure, visions. #Print

Stopping the Flotilla, for now, does not stop the work of peace, the struggle for justice, the humanitarian surge which is coming from the people of the world. It does not stop the hope or the love for the life of the Palestinian People that can overcome the worst of human crimes. It does not stop.
