Description: Rita's literary school zine includes personal and political poetry on capitalism, corporations, and bodies; poems reference Monsanto's genetic engineering of canola seeds in Canada, Biopiracy by Vandana Shiva, and a Colorado-based disarmament protest carried out by Dominican sisters in October 2002. There is an essay about economic globalization, borders, and "imperial delirium" that discusses various shapes that dissent can take, including writing poetry and performing small actions to create a more socially just world. Rita printed 100 copies of this zine for English 360 at Simon Fraser University and provides a works cited list.
