    Nonkilling Poetry

    Nurturing Nonkilling. A Poetic Plantation

    Nurturing Nonkilling. A Poetic Plantation
    by Francisco Gomes de Matos
    ISBN 9780982298329 (2009)

    Summary: These poems by Francisco Gomes de Matos collected to honor the eightieth birthday of the great pioneer of nonkilling thought, Glenn Paige, both show and tell the same thing: that nonkilling thought, act, imagination, art, feeling, commitment, teaching, and career can be experienced, thought about, committed to, felt, imagined, and taught in a whole world of permutations and combinations far beyond innocence. Behind all this lurks mortality. Only in these poems mortality is celebrated, not feared. Like Glenn Paige, they demand intellectual courage with the smile of rational equanimity.
