The Chicago Tribune included my book in its art column this week:

“If we’re unlikely to get a fall arts season that speaks directly to our political moment, take heart that agitprop is rarely as compelling as metaphor. It’s not hard to grasp the urgency for new books reiterating the concept of freedom — “When Freedom is the Question, Abolition is the Answer” by Hyde Park cornerstone Bill Ayers and “On Freedom” by Timothy Snyder both publish this month.”

The launch tour begins tonight at Pilsen Community Books in Chicago, in conversation with Eve Ewing.

In a room where
people unanimously maintain
a conspiracy of silence,
one word of truth
sounds like a pistol shot.
