And why not? Tomorrow matters more than ever.

change in foreign affairs policy.

Aubrey returns with 20 Dead

“The life of a poet-activist is not a life of social media - it is pain
and suffering, agony and ecstasy, and all that is the calamity
and tragedy of a Human Condition lost in war, deceit, dishonour,
and unprincipled leadership. There are no daffodils, no rhyming
cleverness, no chirping birds in poetic flight – but there is a
devotion to the Living Condition and my hand on my heart.”
