Art Stronger Than Hate!
|
Author artist and human rights
advocate Issa Nyaphaga endured torture and exile from his home
country of Cameroon and has worked as a political cartoonist in Paris,
including a stint at Charlie Hebdo. On March 6, 2015 Issa addressed the
United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on the topic of freedom
of artistic expression. His book Art Stronger Than Hate! offers a visual commentary on the political, social, and economic state of the world, arguing for free speech, not hate speech. Art Stronger Than Hate! is evidence that art can save lives and inspire the human spirit.

Like that
|
In this collection of new and selected poems, her fifth book of poetry, Sybil Pittman Estess takes readers on an intensely personal journey, a deep exploration of life in contemporary America. "These are poems of witness," says 2008 Texas Poet Laureate Larry Thomas, "...of witness to a life fully lived, of witness to birth, friendship, death, and the unforgiving pain of loss; and of witness to a world rife with the wounds of global warming, the violence of guns, yet a world still teeming with transient beauty."

The cowtown Circle
|
Dave Oliphant's thirteenth book of poetry, The Cowtown Circle, is divided into six sections, moving from an eclectic gathering of poems devoted to nature, topical issues, and the imprisonment of captured WWII German soldiers in Hearne, Texas, to a section of María Poems (a series begun in 1976) and to sections on grandchildren and a visit to New York City, on music (classical, jazz, and Indian), on U.S. Presidents, and on a group of modernist Texas artists active during the Second World War. Critic Roberto Bonazzi says that Oliphant’s “cleverly subdued style allows making almost anything into a poem.”
