Truths Among Us by Derrick Jensen
Following How Shall I Live My Life? (PM Press, 2010) and Resistance Against Empire (PM Press, 2010), Jensen's third collection of interviews reinforces a simple premise with which he has long challenged his readers: if people can learn to shut their ears and eyes to the cacophony of consumption-oriented distractions and pause to listen to the wisdom of their own hearts, the truth will eventually reveal itself. Among those who share their wisdom are acclaimed sociologist Stanley Aronowitz, poet and peacemaker Luis Rodriguez, Judith Herman and Paul Stamets.
Hailed as the philosopher-poet of the ecological movement, Derrick Jensen is the widely acclaimed author of Endgame, A Language Older Than Words, and The Culture of Make Believe among many others. Jensen's writing has been described as “breaking and mending the reader's heart” (Publishers Weekly). His books with PM include How Shall I Live My Life?: On Liberating the Earth from Civilization, Resistance Against Empire, and the novels Songs of the Dead and Lives Less Valuable. Author, teacher, activist, and leading voice of uncompromising dissent, he regularly stirs auditoriums across the country with revolutionary spirit. Jensen holds a degree in mineral engineering physics from the Colorado School of Mines, and has taught at Eastern Washington University and Pelican Bay Prison. He lives in Crescent City, California.
