Comment on AWP? Meh. by Name

Name — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:40:22 +0000

I’m sorry that the person who wrote this article had a negative experience at AWP. I’ve been to two AWP meetings, and I think the more recent one was hurt by the economy and I think this had an effect. There may also be unsavory experiences about AWP and not every panel is created equal, though I do not recognize the panelists mentioned here to be anyone but sharp editors and writers. I also do not recognize the description of up to half of AWP goers as all wannabes and posers. It is not an easy experience for many, perhaps, but it is a good time to collect information and materials and make face-to-face contact with authors, editors, and publishers.

Comment on Fox News Blatantly Attacks Public Libraries, Asking “Are They a Waste of Tax Money?” by Alba Machado

Not long ago, Glenn Beck warned that colleges and universities could be identified as big, bad socialists if they promoted “social justice.” It makes sense, then, that the network which airs his program would question the value of an institution that serves as one of the greatest resources for those who stand to benefit most from movements for social justice. Public schools have been under attack for some time now. (The number of public schools in New Orleans, for example, dropped from 123 to just four after Hurricane Katrina. They were largely replaced by charter schools.) I guess it was only a matter of time before libraries came under fire, too. Thanks for sharing this with those of us who don’t watch FOX.

Thank you for this review! I edited the book to try to bring, as you said, a different perspective on the Iraq war than Americans are usually exposed to. I appreciate your posting your reactions to the book.
