Ash's avatarThe Dreamcatch Writer

Twist of Fate
A Charity Anthology
Coming Soon

In May of 2013 storms and tornadoes ripped through the midwestern United States leaving destruction and desolation in many areas. One of the hardest hit states was Oklahoma. “Twist of Fate” is an anthology of writing, poetry, prose, and artwork from contributors around the world, better known as the group: Indies In Action.  100 % of the proceeds from the sale of the book “Twist of Fate” will go to benefit tornado victims in Oklahoma through the May Tornadoes Fund, administered by the United Way.  You can learn more about the May Tornadoes Fund at the United Way of Central Oklahoma Website.

[My apology to you, dear Paulette, for my initial error in the reblogging process.]

With my heartfelt appreciation to The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap and in the hope to mediate her reblogged post A Girl’s Message to all Christians from Elana – The Voice of the Future to Muslims as well, the followers of the religion of Islam and its mind-boggling distortions I believe to know well.

Poet Enis Akın Just Released!

nicola verderame's avatarDefter - Poesia Turca Contemporanea

I am happy to announce that the poet and translator Enis Akın has been released after three days of custody. Akın, together with about 90 people, has been kept in the police custody during the protests of last weekend, until his deposition of yesterday at the Çağlayan Court of Justice. Akın has so far published eight books among poetry and prose, and has translated the poetic works of Sylvia Plath into Turkish. Geçmiş olsun!

Türkiye Halkları Ayağa Kalkıyor ~ Alain Badiou

Cengiz Erdem's avatarSenselogic

#direnbadiou

Tüm Türkiye’de eğitimli gençliğin büyük bir bölümü şu anda hükümetin baskıcı ve gerici uygulamalarına karşı büyük bir harekete öncülük ediyor. Bu benim ‘Tarihin Uyanışı’ adını verdiğim önemli bir andır. Dünyada pek çok ülkede bir kısım entellektüel ve orta sınıf tarafından eşlik edilen ortaokul,lise, üniversite gençliği Mao’nun meşhur sözüne yeniden hayat veriyor: ‘İsyan etmek haktır.’ Alanları,sokakları ve sembolik yerleri işgal ediyorlar; yürüyorlar, özgürlük, ‘gerçek demokrasi’ ve yeni bir hayat arzuluyorlar. Hükümetin muhafazakar politikalarından vazgeçmesini yoksa istifa etmesini istiyorlar. Devletin polisinin şiddetli saldırılarına karşı koyuyorlar.

Bunlar benim doğrudan ayaklanmanın özellikleri dediğim: popüler devrimci politik hareketin potansiyel güçlerinden biridir -eğitimli gençlik ve maaşlı küçük burjuvanın- kendi adına gerici hükümete karşı çıkmasıdır. Şunu içtenlikle söylüyorum: bunu yapmak haktır! Ama bunu yapmak önümüze bu başkaldırının süresi ve ölçeği sorununu çıkarmaktadır. Harekete geçmek doğrudur, ama düşünsel bağlamda ve gelecek için bunun asıl sebebi nedir?    Bütün sorun bu cesur ayaklanmanın gerçek bir tarihi ayaklanmanın yolunu açıp…

Interviewing Maria Edwards (U.S.A.)

Interviewer: Kiriti Sengupta (India)

 

Hi Maria !! Greetings from India. This is Kiriti. I must thank you for your contribution towards the international charity anthology, Twist of Fate. I seriously wish to ask you few things, if you, please.

 

Maria: By all means.

Kiriti: You have contributed ISBN towards the anthology. Would like to know what the significance of the ISBN is and how it would help in establishing the work (book).

Maria: The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric commercial book identifier to help booksellers identify individual books. Most booksellers will not accept books without this number. That alone speaks to its availability and marketability.

Kiriti: Why did you come forward with this unique idea of donating the ISBN to the anthology ?

Maria: Everything Stephen L. Wilson and this anthology stands for is…
