Ewan Magie is teaching a class on Zen and American Poetry this Fall 2012 (Oct. 8 through Nov. 12) on UW campus in Seattle. The course was featured in the Spring edition of NW Dharma News http://northwestdharma.org/news/Spring12/zen-poetry.php and is an engaging yet contemplative way to explore both Zen Buddhism and poetry in greater depth.

—When the people are sovereign and are the state how can you label such individuals as Julian Assange and Bradley Manning as enemies of the sate when they have exposed criminal acts made in the people’s name. Wouldn’t those who committed the crimes be the more logical enemies of the state—J. Glenn Evans—30 September 2012—
