Mitchel
Cohen lives in "The
People's Republic of Brooklyn," and for many years made his
living (such as it is) selling his poems in the subways. He was
a founding member of the Red Balloon Collective and its "poetry
conspiracy" at SUNY Stony Brook in 1969 and edited its journal
through the decades. Mitchel was one of the "Liberty Bell
7," arrested for demanding freedom for political prisoners
Mumia Abu-Jamal and Leonard Peltier. He co-founded and coordinates
the No Spray Coalition <www.nospray.org>,
works with Recycle This! and NY State Against Genetic Engineering,
served on the Local Station Board of WBAI Radio (99.5 FM), and
co-edits "G", the newspaper of the NY State Greens/Green
Party of New York.

The
poems in this anthology run deep reflecting the varied facets of life
as an activist working passionately for the advancement of our planetary
family. I know it touched me profoundly. Funny, serious, sweet, bittersweet,
charming and real, the poems speak to the man that I've come to know through
his many generous works for humanity.
