Thanksgiving. A poem from Everyday Mermaid, a collaborative poetry art book by and .

“This book began in a simple way.  The poems began coming and as I wrote them I realized they were about valuing the ordinary life.  The life that happens at home and around the house. The life that follows its patterns through a year.  As I wrote and listened and valued, a discovery happened.  I learned grace can happen in an instant. In fact grace happens every instant.” -

We are excited to announce a new Poetry Anthology centered on the theme of Night.
Night differs from day in unique ways that are often overlooked. As darkness falls and we turn on the lights, we continue with our routines, rarely noticing the quiet or how our senses shift. Sounds grow sharper, and touch, smell, and taste may become
more vivid.

Sometimes, it is only when we turn off the lights that night fully envelops us. Night brings its own magic—and its own shadows. It can be spooky or comforting, evoking feelings of ease, fear, or a mix of both as you immerse yourself in darkness.

We seek poems that reflect what nighttime means to you. Poets of all backgrounds and experience levels are invited to submit up to three poems for our upcoming anthology, NIGHTFALL.

Send us your poems of insomnia, moonlight, shadows,
and dreams…

Recently invited to speak at a book-festival session titled “Books That Changed the World,” the Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro figured he was expected to talk about the bard. “Instead, frightened by what has been happening in America, I decided to choose a book that is changing the world right now,” Shapiro writes. https://theatln.tc/bhZwYtPC

“The Turner Diaries” is a 1978 novel by William Luther Pierce, a physicist and the founder of the neo-Nazi National Alliance. It tells the story of Earl Turner, who participates in a revolution that begins as a race war in the United States and results in the annihilation of nonwhite people. “The novel, which is horrifying and heartless, slowly acclimates readers to greater levels of violence and hatred, with healthy doses of propaganda justifying large-scale murder,” Shapiro writes.

The book “once served as a deadly template for domestic terrorists such as Timothy McVeigh, who drew from its pages when he planned the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City,” Shapiro writes. The month before the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, a Proud Boys leader said on a livestream that government officials “deserved to die a traitor’s death,” to which another leader replied, “Yup, Day of the Rope”—the name that Pierce gave, in “The Turner Diaries,” to the day when enemies are lynched. On January 6, the appearance of a gallows with a noose hanging from it outside the Capitol “visually reinforced the allusion to that defining moment in the novel,” Shapiro writes.

Vile though it is, the book “isn’t just a how-to manual for homegrown terrorists,” Shapiro continues. It has “influenced American culture in a way only fiction can—by harnessing the force of storytelling to popularize ideas that have never been countenanced before. Literature can be mind opening, but it can also be corrosive, and there is no exaggeration in saying that ‘The Turner Diaries’ and books like it have played a part in spreading hateful ideas that now even influence government policy.”
