Their presence is memorable in part due to their complete-with-merit-badge uniforms, their much sought after collectible mail art ephemera, and their passion and advocacy for all things postal.

		<description><![CDATA[But also there was something always mysterious to me about language and particularly about poetry. I didn't understand it. I still don't think that I understand it, you know, in any absolute sense. I think that that mystery, that continual ambiguity of What is this? Why do people do this? What does this mean? How come it makes me feel this way? Why is this beautiful and this line isn't? or Why is this poem so striking and moving and this other one some how doesn't live up to that? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I was a little kid, say ten, eleven years old, I had an ethical problem with money. I don't know where that came from. Especially since my neighborhood was white, conservative, and middle class — it was not the center of revolutionary politics. I was like the rebel hippy kid and I rebelled against profit motive at an early age. Then it got worse or was enhanced by the plight of my father who was one of the early victims of corporate downsizing and corporate maneuvering for profit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kent Manske is a visual artist working in traditional and hybrid forms of print media. He is a professor of art at Foothill College where he teaches graphic design, printmaking and books as art. His MFA is from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This interview was conducted upon the publication of a book on Kent's work titled Re:ad.

Whirligig: Why do you make things?

Kent: To make sense of things I don’t understand, like my feelings about humanity. I’m compelled to process matters of our existence, like why we believe what we do. I make things to find my own peace, even though much of what I explore is not peaceful. Sixteen thousand people die per day of hunger related causes. The Arctic is melting and the oceans are rising. Exploring issues and concerns help me recontextualize my own reality and make sure I’m not living in a total state of deception. Art helps me to take responsibility for the privileges I’ve inherited.]]></description>
