celebrate the day after thanksgiving as 'buy nothing day' (for those in the u.s.a.)

“In honor of the festival of brutal late-capitalist commerce that the day after Thanksgiving, or Black Friday, has become in America, Seven Stories Press wishes to offer — as our contribution to the alternative tradition of celebrating the day after Thanksgiving as Buy Nothing Day — free copies of some of our titles, drawn from the Seven Stories list of titles featuring voices of conscience and works of the imagination from authors including Howard Zinn, Ariel Dorfman, Kristin Dawkins, Kate Braverman, Barry Gifford, Nelson Algren, Rick DeMarinis, Hattie Gossett, Ralph Nader, and more.”

Go to Seven Stories Press for more information. Offer is limited but unrestricted in many, many good ways. Act soon.

Hat tip to NewPages Blog, which you really should keep an eye on, if you don’t already.

    The Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Anthology is still in production. Selection, placement, layout and copyediting are taking longer than anticipated. Thank you for your patience. I hope to have the piece completed in July. For those who have emailed asking if they can be included, the May 7 deadline for submission of work stands. Those who met that deadline will be included. Please check the post on this site listing who I received submissions from by that date. If you submitted your work by the May 7 deadline in accordance with our guidelines and your name is not listed, send an email to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.

    It’s the final week of the Read Write Poem NaPoWriMo Challenge! Just 7 days left. With that, a reminder that Read Write Poem will culminate with the anthology featuring work from those who complete the challenge. A post with details for submitting to the anthology will be published May 1. Be sure you remove any information from the site that you want preserved — such as group content and personal messages. Those elements of the site will be removed May 1 as well. The main site will remain up as an archive.
