Newly expanded edition. This is the most autobiographical book I have written thus far. It is a ＂portrait of the artist as a young vandal＂ complete with confessions of illegal international activities. Updated with important, early blog entries on poets and poetry. It is also a moving story of finding one’s artistic self in the world despite current trends and styles. The backdrop of the narrative is the peace, human rights, and ecology movements and it is a beautiful primer on the work of peace, protest, and public art. It is even more important and powerful during this time of lingering war. Karma yoga is selfless and benevolent activity from personal acts of kindness, generosity, and hospitality to charity and activism in the world. This book documents a search for self through the personal journey of art and activism, graffiti and rebellion. (PEACE) WORDS is a highly engaging and motivational read. It will alter your perspective on the world.
