PROTEST P.O. B0X 5008 EVANSTON, IL 60204-5008 USA
Hello Friends! Welcome one & all to my webpage. PROTEST which stands for: Poets Reaching Out To Everyone Striving Togetherness, began in 1986, as I began to publish my poetry fanzine, Cops Hate Poetry. I also use it for other publications & recordings I produce & edit under the PROTEST name.
MISSION STATEMENT: I believe in unity of voices everywhere & not senseless bellicose infighting, when it comes down to egos who enjoy ordering others around by provoking meaningless battles & drawing invisible lines between friends & fellow artists. What follows is a list of my available publications & recordings, plus other items.
