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.

    by Balwant Bhaneja
    ISBN 978-0-9822983-7-4 (2010)

    Summary: At the southern tip of India, the small inlet of Kanyakumari brushes with the waters of Indian Ocean while Dehradun, capital of India’s new state of Uttranchal in the North juts with the mountainous ranges of Himalayas. The book, a deep desire to understand the meaning and relevance of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s inclusive message of nonviolent political action in early 21st Century, is from Balwant Bhaneja’s, a retired Canadian diplomat, travel journal about meetings in the spring of 2006 with individuals, young and old, across India who in their unique ways have been impacted by Gandhi’s life and have chosen to follow the nonviolent path for social justice and a nonkilling peace. While on the way to visit them, the journey also becomes a pilgrimage to some of the places, where Mahatma Gandhi stayed during the struggle for India’s Independence from the British Rule.

    • Chernovs' Toil and Peace, by Rifet Bahtijaragic.

      "Distinction as an Outstanding Work of Fiction", BC Book Prizes, Canada.

      "Rifet Bahtijaragic is a literary master, poet and a captivating storyteller who has researched the Doukhobor history and philosophy remarkably well. For the novel, he used the genealogy of the Chernov family along with an in-depth understanding of the wider Spirit Wrestlers Movement.

      Misha Chernov, one of the heroes of the story, protested war as the slavery of our times and cried for the creation of a nonkilling society. That message is as relevant today as it was century's back. If Misha lived today, he would be part of the new Center for Global Nonkilling. Like his mentor the Great Russian writer and philosopher Lev N. Tolstoy, he believed that his small group of concerned people had an extraordinary civilizing role in the social evolution of humanity.

      This is a profound book not only for those whose history it reveals, but it has a practical wisdom for the health of all inhabitants of Planet Earth."

      —Koozma J. Tarasoff, Ottawa, Canada.
