| William Heyen, author of Crazy Horse in Stillness: | "I want to thank you for and congratulate you on Jihad bil Qalam. This is the
strongest anti-war anthology I've seen, and from page to page I learn things.
Remarkable spirits here, and the minute I'm done with this e-mail, I'm going
to read more of them, including the Dougherty-McCoy Gaza and Baghdad report
(those folks are heroes).... Your own contributions are strong, passionate,
come from the center of conscience (and artistry) you've come to be.... I'll
keep reading, digesting, see what if anything is in me during this awful time
when the daily news depresses on many levels. Again, congratulations. And
that March 2003 Saginaw City Council vote--well, what an uplifting thought!"
|
| Janet Martineau, The Saginaw News: | | "Each and every author is a thoughtful person comfortable in working with words. ... A book all of us would do well to read ... because no matter your sentiments on the war, To Strive by Means of the Pen will challenge them profoundly." |
