The last time I was in Dupont Circle it was to march with my friends against the first Iraq War under George H.W. Bush’s regime. We chanted “no blood for oil!”
Washington D.C. doesn’t know what’s coming—we are!
Ping-Pong Free Press and Poet Republik Ltd. Books will be exhibiting with Henry Miller Memorial Library at the AWP Conference & Bookfair next week in Washington DC. You can find us at table 733-T. We feel like it’s kismet the conference takes place in Washington D.C. Writers and intellectuals have always been on the frontline of resistance. We are not the voice of the voiceless, they have a voice: we are merely the conduit from which these varied and disparate voices can be heard. We are committed to the writings of refugees, immigrants, women, and many under-represented groups, oh yeah, men too, we love men. We are committed to resistance to fascism in all its forms.
