"Conant, who was active in the San Francisco Bay Area's poetry scene in the early 90s, just moved to Taos a year ago. For the last sev-eral years, he has traveled exten-sively and been a free-lance writer for progressive magazines and the Hesperian Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to publishing books and educational materials around the world to promote community health. "My professional work informs my creative writing, and visa versa," he said. Friday night, he will be reading from his first novel, a work in progress called " Yanqui Go Home," a fictional account of a time he spent in Chiapas, Mexico, working with the Zapatista move-ment. He was arrested and thrown out of the country, and this novel is about the last few months in Mex-ico and the first few months back here in the United States.
I wish we could throw the SOB out of the US. There are tons of leftists who spout anti-American nonsense but would never in a million years give up their US passport.
