Pipe Dreams is narrative poetry about the story of a boy who, amid his anxious and overthinking phase of life, gives love yet another chance, wishing for a happy ending. Love on the other hand needs more than one chance and still can’t guarantee peace. The story revolves around the conversations of the boy with his talking mind and heart – literally; the girl he meets, who claims to have fallen in love with him, only to leave him on the first day of the relationship. But, as already pointed out, love is all about second chances, and it still can’t guarantee peace. For him, love doesn’t play partially either. The story entails the reasons for his depressive states and the decision of moving on and finally, finding his name.

The lawyer turned on the tape recorder, handed his client a cigarette, and lit it for him. Black drew hard, squinting as the smoke rushed into his lungs. "Where do you want to start?"the lawyer said, lighting a cigarette of his own. "I guess there’s only one place to start; at Broad and Erie." Johnny Podres, a politician whose record against corruption had been propelling him straight to the mayor’s office, is found murdered in a North Philly crack house. Enter Samuel Jackson, a.k.a. Black, a drug addict who knows better, a man embittered by the fact that he can’t seem to escape from his addiction to crack cocaine or, for that matter, from himself. Though he was once a family man with a wife and son, Black’s only concern these days is getting his next high, that is, until he stumbles across a friend and fellow addict, Leroy, and both become prime suspects in the Podres murder. Black and Leroy hook up with two female pipers: Clarisse, a registered nurse who is slowly losing to crack any semblance of a respectable life, and Pookie, who already has lost it. Soon the hunt is on for all four as they try to stay one step ahead of a police department under tremendous pressure to solve the case—because if a killer isn’t found soon, this could blow up into one of the biggest scandals in Philadelphia history. Solomon Jones weaves a suspenseful story against the backdrop of corruption in the Philadelphia police department and centers it on a group of drug addicts who, in the process of fleeing the law, come to terms with their own addiction, leading to some devastating consequences.

Smoke the Peace Pipe is a collection of poems inspired by the author's experience of trauma and how this settled in her body, sometimes as her own worst enemy. She encourages the possibility that we all can find hope and healing by showing up in the present moment, in the environment and with people around us, and through a shared appreciation of nature, spiritual exploration, and sacred connection with the Earth. By sitting and sharing a peace pipe with ourselves, we have an opportunity to bear what we thought was unbearable and make space for the possibility of a bigger picture. Roz Weaver is a Liverpool-born, spoken-word performer and internationally published poet currently floating around West Yorkshire, England. She works as a social worker and therapist whilst studying for her MA in Creative Writing at Teeside University. Roz has been published in a number of journals, zines, and anthologies, including Snapdragon Journal, Token Magazine, and past issues of Yellow Arrow Journal. Her work was most recently on exhibit with Awakenings, a Chicago-based arts collective, as well as the London Design Festival. She has also performed at the Leeds International Festival and the renowned Edinburgh Fringe. EDITORIAL REVIEWS: “Roz manages to achieve a balance of sharing these deeply personal words while creating something many readers, particularly women, can relate to. The last line of Communion “We answer our own prayers” says so much in so few words. It’s something we should all remind ourselves of, in a world where so many of us tend to rest our hopes and dreams on other people or circumstances beyond our control. Sometimes we need to be more active in our own lives.” --AMANDA STEEL, Joyzine “Roz’s debut collection ‘Smoke the Pipe Peace’ is really impactful in the sense she encourages the possibility that we all can find hope and healing by showing up in the present moment, in the environment, with people around us, and through a shared appreciation of nature, spiritual exploration, and sacred connection with the Earth. By sitting and sharing a peace pipe with ourselves, we have an opportunity to bear what we thought was unbearable and make space for the possibility of a bigger picture.” --ANDY N, The Sunday Tribute “Roz Weaver’s ‘Smoke the Peace Pipe’ offers a soul-nourishing journey through a reclaiming of self after trauma. Her caring and courageously crafted words pull back facades to bring difficult truths to light. But this is not a heavy read. Roz also traces pathways of joy, hope and healing through her learning about – and leaning into – love. This collection is a gently fierce reckoning with Roz’s own resilience and power, and reminds us that we all carry immeasurable worth.” --ROSE CONDO, Writer, Performer, Poet (The Empathy Experiment) “Roz says that “smoke the peace pipe” is a metaphor for herself and recognising her trauma. This collection of poems could not reflect this more. Roz’s poetry is a brutally honest reflection of the internalised pain of trauma and how this impacts your body, your mind and your insides whilst reflecting on how she perceives the outside world - and it perceives her and her body.” --RACHEL COLLINS, Feminist Book Club Leeds

"A fascinating and revealing dive into the murky world of oil contracts that shape power and politics in Iraq." -- Loveday Morris, The Washington Post Jerusalem bureau chief Iraq sits on top of more than 140 billion barrels of oil, making it the owner of the world's fifth largest reserves. When the United States invaded in 2003, the Bush Administration promised that oil revenue would be used to rebuild and democratize the country. But fifteen years later, those dreams have been shattered. The Iraqi economy has flatlined, millions of people are internally displaced, and international institutions have had to provide billions of dollars in assistance to the country every year. Where did all the oil revenue go? Reporter Erin Banco traveled to oil-rich Iraqi Kurdistan--an autonomous region that holds, according to the regional government, some 45 billion barrels of crude--to uncover how widespread corruption, tribal cronyism, kickbacks to political parties, and the war with ISIS have contributed to the plundering of Iraq's oil wealth. The region's economy and political stability have been on the brink of collapse, and local people are suffering. Based on court documents and on exclusive interviews with sources who have investigated energy companies and their dealings with government officials, Pipe Dreams is a cautionary tale that reveals how the dream of an oil-financed, American-style democracy in Iraqi Kurdistan now looks like a completely unrealistic fantasy.

Alan Doss offers a rare window into the real world of UN peacekeeping missions in Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Doss's story is one of presidents and prelates, warlords and warriors, heroes and villains, achievements and disappointments-and innocent people caught in the midst of deadly violence. As he shares his front-line experiences, he reflects on the reasons for successes and failures and on the qualities that leaders need to successfully guide efforts to rebuild peace and prosperity in devastated societies. Not least, he also considers the UN's future role in conflict prevention and peacekeeping in a climate of increasing resistance to intervention in "other people's wars.
