We watched as the numbers of deaths mounted and agreed that it was the worst health crisis we’d experienced in a hundred years. What we longed for were stories about people lost to the insidious virus\, and those left behind. We wanted stories of survival\, coping\, finding our way to the future. In making much of the mundane\, 53 poets share 70 poems in the anthology A 21st Century Plague: Poetry from a Pandemic. The poems\, by diverse and award-winning writers\, capture and share the collective Covid. They reveal that we were brave in our contemplative journey. This anthology adds to the tradition of sharing stories in well-chosen words that move and enlighten us. \n  \nMichael Bosworth recently returned to writing poetry and creative nonfiction after a 45-year hiatus.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Reading: "Free Speech:  And Why You Should Give a Damn" by Jonathan Zimmerman\, Signe Wilkinson (Illustrator)
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Reading: “Free Speech: And Why You Should Give a Damn” by Jonathan Zimmerman\, Signe Wilkinson (Illustrator)\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87881707311?pwd=S0pHK2tnUkp4SzlmajNmV2hCUkFMQT09 \nMeeting ID: 878 8170 7311 – Passcode: 322627 \n[su_button url=”https://cityoflightpublishing.com/product/free-speech-and-why-you-should-give-a-damn-2/” target=”blank” background=”#7681c8″ size=”4″ center=”yes”]Purchase This Title[/su_button] \n[su_divider top=”no” style=”dotted” size=”2″] \n \nIn America\, we like to think we live in a land of liberty\, where everyone can say whatever they want. Throughout our history\, however\, we have also been quick to censor people who offend or frighten us. We talk a good game about freedom of speech\, then we turn around and deny it to others. In this brief but bracing book\, historian Jonathan Zimmerman and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Signe Wilkinson tell the story of free speech in America: who established it\, who has denounced it\, and who has risen to its defense. They also make the case for why we should care about it today when free speech is once again under attack. Across the political spectrum\, Americans have demanded the suppression of ideas and images that allegedly threaten our nation. But the biggest danger to America comes not from speech but from censorship\, which prevents us from freely governing ourselves. Free speech allows us to criticize our leaders. It lets us consume the art\, film\, and literature we prefer. And\, perhaps most importantly\, it allows minorities to challenge the oppression they suffer. While any of us are censored\, none of us are free. \nJonathan Zimmerman is the Judy and Howard Berkowitz Professor in Education at the University of Pennsylvania. A former Peace Corps volunteer\, he is the author of Campus Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know and seven other books. He is also a frequent op-ed contributor to The New York Times\, the Washington Post\, and other national newspapers and magazines. Zimmerman received the 2019 Open Inquiry Leadership Award from Heterodox Academy\, which promotes viewpoint diversity in higher education. \nSigne Wilkinson was the first female to receive the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1992. \n
