Let's Burn the Flags of All Nations

“Bold and inspiring, unyielding in their rigorous truth, these poems work to transform habitual patterns of fear and greed into the sane and generous life we all deserve. Slipping the Leash should be required reading for everyone.” (Lynne Twist, The Soul of Money) “These tough, uncompromising poems of witness, rage, and anarchic wit unmask the dysfunction of the human realm as it presses its Anthropocene agenda on the rest of the universe.” (Anne Waldman, Jaguar Harmonics) “Wonderful, powerful poems that excite the heart and reveal truths behind the so-called patriotism that feeds into the hands of the 1%.” (John Perkins, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man) Slipping the Leash calls for transformation in the heart and soul no less than on our warped political terrain, asking us to free ourselves from the fictions pressed on us since childhood about who we are. Poems such as “After Patriarchy Collapses and Capitalism Crumbles,” “Lucky Shadows” and “Let’s Burn the Flags of All Nations” face head-on the question of human survival.
