Release for #oftimeandpunishment is fast approaching!

“Of Time and Punishment is edgy and redemptive, prosaic and straight-shooting, frustrating and beautiful, political and personal, and a damn good read.”

When we questioned why the U.S. spent nearly a trillion dollars and killed nearly a million people over twenty years in the Global War on Terror, we heard, "if we don't fight them over there, we will have to fight them here." The religious extremists are among us.

If you’re so inclined, I will be leading a workshop in the personal essay. We have a good time as we help each other become better essayists.

While waiting, I read these wondrous poems.

Time hasn’t caught up with us,/nor we with it,/we’re still behind because we’re running too fast,/the whole day isn’t enough anymore/to live half an hour.
