DERRICK JENSEN is the prize-winning author of A Language Older Than Words, The Culture of Make Believe, Listening to the Land, Railroads and Clearcuts, Strangely Like War: The Global Assault on Forests, as well as his recent book Walking on Water: Reading, Writing, and Revolution. He was one of two finalists for the 2003 J.
