Censorship

Put together by Writers without Borders, I was sad to read of authors who backed out of this project out of fear of reprisal.

Censorship in the US of this misnommer of cultures (Axis of Evil) has encouraged me to read these verses, excerpts and short stories and want to pass the book on to another reader.
