Six Visionary Poets: Lisha Adela Garcia Jennifer Read Hawthorne Anna Kodama Nancy Lee Melmon Angie Minkin Suzanne Dudley Edited by Diane Frank Foreword by Jennifer Read Hawthorne #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor, Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul We dream together. Write together. Celebrate together. The six of us -- Lisha Adela Garcia, Jennifer Read Hawthorne, Anna Kodama, Angie Minkin, Nancy Lee Melmon, and Suzanne Dudley -- are all students of Diane Frank, San Francisco poet, teacher, and founder of Blue Light Press. Our poems take us deeper, show us what we value, help us explore the themes of our lives. We write to understand ourselves better -- and to explain the world we live in. We write to understand how all beings connect, in this world and beyond. We write to celebrate what is good in the world and why we would like our planet to survive. -- Excerpted from the Foreword
Blood Rivers
Lisha Adela Garcia's splendid debut full-length collection of poems, Blood Rivers, follows the legacy of blood-spilled, spared, reviled, holy, singled-out, intermingled, and sustaining. These are poems of cultural border crossings and personal boundary breaches as seen from the female perspective. Her "whole life is the geography between...two countries, two cultures, two languages," the Rio Grande, "hugging both sides" of her story. She envisions her "long black tongue, a computer / chewing the lessons of history." The poems can be scathing, calling us out for our absurdities, as in "St, Francis in Mesilla" where we hear how "War tames the sassy wildness of the rich / who justify themselves...

Living Anarchism
"Magnificent."—Paul Preston, author of The Spanish Holocaust Brick maker by trade, revolutionary anarchist and historian by default; this is a study of the life of José Peirats (1908–1989) and the labor union that gave him life, the CNT. It is the biography of an individual but also of a collective agent—the working class Peirats was born into—and the affective ties of kinship, friendship, and community that cemented into a movement, the most powerful of its type in the world. Chris Ealham is the author of Anarchism and the City: Revolution and Counter-revolution in Barcelona, 1898–1937.
Drug Wars
Inaugurated in 1984, America's "War on Drugs" is just the most recent skirmish in a standoff between global drug trafficking and state power. From Britain's nineteenth-century Opium Wars in China to the activities of Colombia's drug cartels and their suppression by U.S.-backed military forces today, conflicts over narcotics have justified imperial expansion, global capitalism, and state violence, even as they have also fueled the movement of goods and labor around the world. In Drug Wars, cultural critic Curtis Marez examines two hundred years of writings, graphic works, films, and music that both demonize and celebrate the commerce in cocaine, marijuana, and opium, providing a bold interdis...
