For Bruce Ario, it wasn't enough to quit drinking, find a job, improve his mental health, and fix his homelessness. He needed purpose, above all, to make sure these changes stuck. He found these through writing, God, and a service-oriented life, yet it was his poetry which defined Bruce and left a world-class legacy.
"From There To There: Bruce Ario, The Minneapolis Poet" is an upcoming documentary on the life and work of Bruce Ario (1955 - 2022), creator of the "ario" poetic form. It was shot on-scene in Minneapolis, is full of rich city imagery, and features interviews with those who knew him. The film deals with questions of meaning, addiction, mental wellness, and the role art plays in human healing.
Our GoFundMe will help cover some costs associated with the project: video equipment, travel expenses, advertising, and production. Any additional money raised will be used to fund the publication of Bruce Ario's books. You can learn more about the film and contribute here: gofundme.com/f/new-film-the-minneapolis-poet-bruce-ario
"Cityboy", Bruce Ario's "Selected Poems", and his "Final Poems" will be released in 2024 alongside "From There to There: Bruce Ario, the Minneapolis Poet".

![Norman Finkelstein: Did Arab Leaders Abandon Palestine?
Arab leaders often posture as being pro-Palestine to placate the opinion of their citizenry, but actions speak louder than words. According to Holocaust and Israel/Palestine scholar Norman Finkelstein, Palestinians have often been excluded from normalization agreements going as far back as the Jordanian-Israeli agreement of the 1990s, and the Abraham Accords more recently. What can we say of Gulf State leaders and emerging players such as Morocco in the face of Israels Gaza War [sic] and beyond?
