Thanks for the feedback. There is some wordplay there, though a bit elliptical as well perhaps. There is a right-wing "movement" that is anti-abortion called "The New Abolition". The political forces...

It has been eight years since I returned to my birthplace Lebanon as an adult adoptee. In that time, I've been attempting to draw attention to not just the human trafficking that is adoption as we...

In those days and weeks and months following the Fall when I would not leave the city lest I see the skyline, when I would not venture below 14th Street for fear of nearing the abyss, when I would...
