Before I Turn Into Gold
In 2016 the world was changing. We lost legends. The world began to scramble, and 5 plus years later, we are still in disarray. Politics, Pandemics, a loss of passion. Anger, Depression, the unknown. We are still writing. We are still painting. We are still artists. Just listen to Leonard Cohen for a few moments. Read the truths that he wrote and sung about in metaphor and imagery. For a few moments we can regain passion enough to feel inspired as he has the writers and artists featured in this second anthology in honor of Leonard Cohen. With artwork from Geoffrey Wren, and also revised poetry from David L O'Nan, writer and editor of this anthology. In our first edition "Avalanches in Poetry: Writings & Art Inspired by Leonard Cohen" in 2019 we had wonderful writings & art which some will see a second light of day in this edition. "I'd like to tell my story" Said one of them so young and bold "I'd like to tell my story Before I turn into gold" from a Bunch of Lonesome Heroes by Leonard Cohen

Commodified and Criminalized
Commodified and Criminalized examines the centrality of sport to discussions of racial ideologies and racist practices in the 21st century. It disputes familiar refrains of racial progress, arguing that athletes sit in a contradictory position masked by the logics of new racism and dominant white racial frames. Contributors discuss athletes ranging from Tiger Woods and Serena Williams to Freddy Adu and Shani Davis. Through dynamic case studies, Commodified and Criminalized unpacks the conversation between black athletes and colorblind discourse, while challenging the assumptions of contemporary sports culture. The contributors in this provocative collection push the conversation beyond the playing field and beyond the racial landscape of sports culture to explore the connections between sports representations and a broader history of racialized violence.
