Poem for Muntadhar Al-Zeidi, the eloquent shoe-tosser

Posted on February 18, 2009 by kwilder

I found this poem in a chapbook, on a table at the Poetry Project New Year’s Marathon Reading. I was startled with the resonance an old poem had with a new situation. And, I purchased the book. I thought it was a beautiful tribute and reflection on that moment when Iraqi journalist Muntadhar Al-Zeidi met […]

Some non-violent revenge on Bernie Madoff

Posted on January 22, 2009 by iwilder
