Hi Alicia!
I am a huge fan of , but after in your blog, I now have reasons to hunt for your other books!
I have a rather odd question, but I have been wondering: What do you do for fun, what brings you joy in your spare time, when you are not working on your book projects or making music?
Lots of love light,
Amy Durwaigh
Hi Amy!
Thanks so much for your sweet letter.
I am, as you might suspect, a nature freak. I love to walk around (or swim around) looking at plants, animals, and geologic forms. I also love to applaud other artists doing their art, which means I like to read, see movies, go to performances, gaze at art and architecture, and listen to music.
I call all of this ldquo;visiting shrines of nature and shrines of culture. rdquo;
All blessings,
I spent my entire walk today obsessing about who will win the Living on the Earth Award, and decided that, since I rsquo;m The Decider here at aliciabaylaurel.com, I rsquo;m going to award SEVEN Living on the Earth Awards!

Most people who know my name associate it with my book Living on the Earth, which has been published four times in English, once in Japanese and once in Korean (2004). The Japanese edition has been in print continuously since 1974.
Books I wrote, designed and illustrated:
First edition, The Bookworks, Berkeley, 1970.
Only 10,000 copies printed, all sold within three weeks of publication.
Second edition, Vintage Books/Random House, 1971. This was the first paperback ever on the New York Times Bestseller list, selling over 350,000 copies before going out of print in 1980.
Soshisha, Ltd. edition, 1974 to present
4th Edition (Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2003) with its distinctive metallic gold embossed sun on the cover, and 100% post consumer waste recycled paper and soy-based ink throughout.

Widely imitated to this day, Living On The Earth changed the way books are conceived, and influenced countless artists and graphic designers.

June 9, 2006. rsquo;s booksigning at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church drew at least 500 highly appreciative people, including me.
I subscribe to Greg rsquo;s mailing list and, as you have noticed, post some of his writing on my blog.
Greg speaks as delightfully as he writes. He rsquo;s got great comic timing.
He told us of being shushed by horrified hosts on NPR who said ldquo;we don rsquo;t do THAT any more! rdquo; Of course not, sighed Greg. He winked at us and said ldquo;National Petroleum Radio.
rdquo;
sponsored and benefitted from the event, and KPFK radio host and poet , who spent time dodging bullets in Bagdad as a non-embedded journalist, opened the evening with a recitation of a poem about life in the Iraq war.
I can rsquo;t wait to read my signed copy of . I gifted Greg Palast with a copy of my CD and asked him in particular to listen to America the Blues.
So and I went to see the night before last at the . It was a leftist rsquo;s Rocky Horror Show, that is, the audience reaction was as compelling as the film itself. The film rsquo;s violence comes off more like a college lecture than a Hollywood thriller, but, unlike most horror flicks, this one depicts violence that most likely WILL occur in real life, to US.
Critics on the right say it rsquo;s one long political ad for Gore. If so, it works. Eat your heart out, Hillary.
When Gore tells an audience of his slide show in the film, ldquo;There are higher priorities than terrorism, rdquo; our live audience cheered, stomped and whistled.
Outside the theatre, vendors offered related books, and tonight the emailed me their ldquo;recommended summer reading list. rdquo;
I thought OK, what about the ?
What is the recommending for summer reading?
I couldn rsquo;t find any book recommendations on the site, only a thrilling breath of physical and legal activism from the front lines of compassion.
My friends and I have been talking and living green since the lsquo;sixties.
And not a moment too soon.
