Just Published A Dime's Worth of Difference: Beyond the Lesser of Two Evils By Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair Click here to purchase. Serpents in the Garden. That's how Percy Shelley described the revolutionary quest of his circle of Romantic poets, painters and writers. And it's a perfect title for this marvelous a cappella of writing on art, music, culture and sex from the editors and writers of CounterPunch. A big part of being radical in the best sense of the word lies in enjoying, promoting and defending art and the spirit of freedom, along with the craft skills embodied by the arts. By the quality of life, art and freedom that radicals commend, so will radicalism prevail. Subversive perspectives on life and politics should be fun. Dive in and enjoy!
