RECOMMENDATIONS: After six years of reading Paul Haeder on Dissident Voice, I can safely say I have never met a more energetic, intelligent, and unflappable writer as Paul Haeder. During the course of our spirited email exchanges, and with unique respect, I nick named Paul, The George Plimpton of Dissent, largely because Paul is a Jack of All Literary Trades, and he puts himself into the moment, into the people's brains and hearts he writes so passionately about. The U.S. suffers under the weight of its elaborate historical & political myth making and dissemination systems, so Haeder has served to help me recognize those who desire to place me on a stretcher of the One Percent's doing are really traitors and true un-Americans. Try reading him ... with no allegiances to the elites and powerful. If you need a house call for quick intellectual triage, pick up a book of Haeder's and dive deep into its layers. At the other end of the journey, you will be baptized in a new wonder of showing no fear, fearing no one. Charles Orloski is a working class poet living in Taylor, Pennsylvania, who writes regularly for Dissident Voice, the Hollywood Progressive and other venues--Paul Haeder Reimagining Sanity

Author Information

Born in LA, weaned in the Azores and placated during his formative years in Paris, Paul Haeder began his career as a journalist in Southern Arizona and as a travel writer in Europe. His is a life lived on the border: both literally in El Paso-Juarez and metaphorically through his own combative style of teaching, writing and activism. Haeder hitchhiked from Nogales to Panama and wrote about the trip, worked in prisons and gang-influenced neighborhoods as a writing and photography instructor, and was a dive master in the Yucatan. From street newspaper writing in Seattle to documenting his biodiversity work in Vietnam for E-Magazine to writing about greenwashing for Planning Magazine, Paul represents a last cry in the wilderness, speaking to and from precarity, poverty and revolutionary zeal. Eclecticism, surrealism and survival are what he brings to the great fire of dying discourses as he fights the insanity Western Culture imposes on us all.
