Celebrating the Life and Work of Marilyn Buck

Posted on August 11th, 2010 in AK Allies

Marilyn BuckWe at AK Press were saddened last week to learn about the passing of longtime political prisoner Marilyn Buck, just a few weeks after her release from prison (after serving 25 years of an 80 year sentence).

Many of her friends and comrades have already written excellent tributes to her, like this one on The Rag Blog—check it out to learn more about Marilyn and her inspiring work.

In addition to her activist work, Marilyn was also a poet. You can listen to her poetry on the Wild Poppies CD, or hear them online via the Freedom Archives website.
