ON GREEN LIBERTY notes that, just as there is consensus among all contemporary political parties that slavery is unacceptable, so also should the exploitation of non-human animals and the harm done to future generations by degrading planet Earth be unacceptable. Green liberalism is l...

ME is a capital, a produced identity, a competitive subjectivity.

If I practice de-forming the product of ME, do I annihilate ME, aside from the matter-of-factness by which I still exist in flesh and bone?

By the urgency of not belonging

Not owing

Not being owned

Running from a contract I considered a given

I talked to that breath

It gave me a shiver in response.

Arnhem after Arnhem.

Why this reissue? As a child I experienced the first week of the Battle of Arnhem. On September 25, 1944, our family was granted refugee status. For nine months we and many others roamed the country from haystack to farm, from chicken coop to cowshed, from guest house to paper mill. Travelling on farm carts, handcarts and on foot. And as bonus the bombing, shelling and V-1 missiles.

Returning home to the ruins of the city of Arnhem, the burning and smelly waste in the onc...
