REDS


Criticism of leaders and government
is not a privilege granted by powers that be.
It's the duty of every citizen
in a democratic society.



But the badge of ethics and honor
once worn by patriotic dissenters
has been ripped from the breast of Liberty
and replaced with a scarlet letter.

- Vi Ransel

 

Vi's works appear widely both in print and online. She conducts Poetry Workshops and gives readings in Central New York. Her latest chapbook is "Sine Qua Non Antiques (an Arcanum of History, Geography and Treachery).
