Details

The name of this collection of poetry is no mere hyperbole. When the G-20 met in Toronto, Canada in 2010 behind armed thugs and fortress walls to discuss the fate of the world, Kelly Pflug-Back was among those who took to the streets to counter it with the militancy that the situation demanded. The cops dragged her off and tormented her in jail for a month while the government attempted to frame her as the leader of the infamously leaderless Black Bloc. Many of her charges were dropped, but she pled guilty to the destruction of several police cars and corporate storefronts and was sentenced to fifteen months behind bars for daring to be free, for writing her poetry with action and words alike.

Both the publisher and AK Press are donating all profits on this book to aid Kelly until she is free.
