Dignity For All

How To Create A World Without Rankism

BY ROBERT FULLER, PAMELA GERLOFF
Fuller and Gerloff offer advice on the best ways to forcefully but compassionately bring rankist behavior to light. They include examples of rankism in action as well as the often surprisingly simple things people have done to counteract it. Perhaps most importantly, they show how we can prevent rankism from taking root in the first place. Dignity for All will help you map out your own personal strategy for creating a society in which every human being feels truly valued and respected.

Distant Burned Out Stars

BY CATHERINE WALD
Wald's poems hiss and growl, invoking a frenzied reality, a human condition nearly always on the verge of a nervous breakdown," says Elaine Sexton, author of Causeway. "Lost sheep, a witch, a schizophrenic cousin, even the Sun King people her imaginative, complex and tightly compressed narratives. The poems are so graphically, sonically charged they seem to shake each page of this first collection, a tour de force, a heady ride, a stunning debut."
