"If they come for me in the morning, they will come for you in the night." Angela Davis. Breaking Up on X: 20 Poems for a Nation in Crisis is a collaborative response to our current national crisis. Dedicated to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in appreciation for their century-long work defending the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, all profits from the sale of this book will help support their work during this difficult time. From the Foreword by Nola Saint James (aka Rabbi Dr. Jo David): "The personal is political" - Carol Hanisch's clarion call for individual responsibility and action against injustice is as important and radicalizing today as it was in 1969 when she first coined this phrase. The need for each person to push back against the forces of oppression and authoritarianism is even more important today than it was at the beginning of the modern feminist era. From the Introduction by Michael E. Tigar: Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy remarked that those who wrote the constitution liked the image of clockwork, and they believed that the checks and balances among the three branches of government would ensure stability and the protection of people's rights. Back in 1787, Patrick Henry doubted that this self-regulating image would hold true. James W. Gaynor comes to us with a different and more topical inquiry --- he wants to know what time it is. From the poet James W. Gaynor: Whatever the ostensible subject, poets write about the intertwinement of love and loss, attraction and repulsion - how one leads to another and, occasionally, back again. That inevitable conflict has never seemed more apparent than at this point in our history. From the Afterword by David Bergman: We must all be poets, American poets who draw from an uncensored vocabulary of the nation, inspired by the power of nature, affirming the human spirit in its humblest forms.
