"Political power," says Howard Zinn, "is controlled by the corporate elite, and the arts are the locale for a kind of guerilla warfare in the sense that guerillas look for apertures and opportunities where they can have an effect." In Artists in Times of War, Zinn looks at the possibilities to create such apertures through art, film, activism, publishing, and through our everyday lives. In this collection of four essays—three of which are previously unpublished—the author of A People's History of the United States writes about why "to criticize the government is the highest act of patriotism."

"It wasn't until I was in a war that I realized that there are no such things as good wars and bad wars," writes Zinn in the book's opening essay. It is this realization that Zinn tracks through each of the book's chapters, with each focusing on a different cultural manifestation of war resistance. Chapter One examines the unique role of the artist to "transcend his or her moment" to critique power and inspire others to challenge authority. Chapter Two follows the example of Emma Goldman and anarchism. Chapter Three looks at how Hollywood has used film as a forum for resistance. The book concludes with a historic essay on the role that grassroots pamphlet publishing has played in US movement building and resistance. Filled with quotes and examples from the likes of Bob Dylan, Mark Twain, e. e. cummings, Thomas Paine, Joseph Heller, and Emma Goldman, Zinn's essays discuss America's rich cultural counternarratives to war, so needed in these days of unchallenged US militarism.

Hey, it's that time again--this quarter's chapbook has been released into the wild!

At a time when it seems we are more separated from nature than ever, it's important for us to remember our deep connections to the rest of the world. Ecopsychology is a green lens through which to view our relationships not just with our fellow humans, but with other living beings as well. In this guide written for the everyday reader, you'll learn some of the key origins and concepts of ecopsychology, including:

Our deeply-ingrained bond with the rest of nature

How time in nature improves our psychological and physical health

The concept of the ecological self

How ecopsychology grew from deep ecology, psychotherapy, and other influences

How to restore ourselves and nature together

Resources for further exploration

And more!

Returning to Nature offers a glimpse into what ecopsychology is, where it came from, and why it is more important than ever.

You can get the paperback for $6 and the PDF ebook for $3 at https://rebeccalexa.com/returning-to-nature/.

My sapphic mermaid YA short story is free all week, to motivate me to finish the full-length follow up, In Too Deep. Grab it!

Nadia Almeida attends one of North America's first integrated high schools, where not only human kids attend but also elves, gnomes, and even a troll. Still, Nadia is surprised when mermaid Nerine Kwan rolls into class one day inside a special custom-built wheelchair. No mermaid had ever attended school on land, so Nadia is intrigued. Why would a mermaid want to go through all the trouble of living on land, bound to a clunky carriage and subject to taunts from her fellow students? As she gets to know Nerine, she finds her academic interest becoming personal, and learns the costs of befriending this strange new girl.

CW: mentions of self-harm.
