Wrestling with The Angel of Democracy...

"Susan Griffin has removed the rhetorical clichés from democracy and revealed a breathing, sentient angel of wisdom now held captive by tyranny, money, and our misplaced faith in authority. This is nothing less than cultural poetry steeped in history and heart."

        — PAUL HAWKEN, author of Blessed Unrest

“Susan Griffin’s superb prose reveals democracy 

not as a distant abstraction but as a live, inspiring, 

and difficult presence shaping us every day, 

an angel all Americans wrestle with.” 

  — GEORGE LAKOFF, author of Whose Freedom?
