ARCHIVE: SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS September 12 Critic's Pick, Orlando Weekly: "[Jeff Nall] is identified as a Brevard County peace activist and writer, but he earned his master’s degree in liberal studies at Rollins College, so he has an Orlando connection, too. He’ll be back in town this week to sign copies of his new book, Perpetual Revolt: Essays on Peace and Justice and the Shared Values of Secular, Spiritual, and Religious Progressives (Howling Dog Press). And for another notable claim to fame, two of his essays were included in Cost of Freedom: The Anthology of Peace and Activism, published last year by Howling Dog.
