He has reported recently from Chiapas, Iraq, and Palestine. He travelled to Iraq to stand in solidarity with the people there, before the United States began its bombing campaign there, he was in Cancun for the WTO ministerial, and he recently travelled to Palestine to harvest olives.

Ross began his reading by talking about the olive harvest, and then discussed the connections between the Palestinian struggles, and struggles throughout the world. The poems are introduced with commentary.
