For our 295th photo shoot, we did a project crossover. While typically our publishing company publishes race walking, photography and computer science books, we’ve recently created a new imprint called Salvage America Publications. Given the horrendous political situation in our country, we decided instead of simply reposting other people’s meme’s we would take personal action. In our photoshoot Jennifer is reading from one of our two new project, The Parable of the Peacock. Even Munson is enjoying the reading. Although created in the form of a children’s read-aloud picture book with rhyming couplets, the satire carries a serious message for adult readers. The book uses animal caricatures to represent individuals and generalized populations in contemporary American politics. A prideful, orange-faced peacock is the main character, and a mean, bare-chested weasel from “a far-off land” has an important supporting role. This was a project written by a close friend, Brent Bohlen but published by us.

T-shirts with the graphics on the TV are also available from the peacock site. About the AuthorBrent Bohlen of Springfield, Illinois, retired from a career in […]
