I’ve written several essays and stories for Salon in the past few months, including an extended reflection on patriotism, which led to an interview with one of America’s greatest poets, Martin Espada.

I also wrote about the threat of right wing fascism, and the danger of whitewashing the recent history of the Republican Party.

In response to the atrocious Ken Burns’ slander, I wrote about the life and politics of Ernest Hemingway.
