What are PeaceLinks?
This newsletter sends you a monthly digest of web-based articles, stories, or poems about peace, cooperation, and the middle ground.
What if, neighbor to neighbor and home to home, decency is creeping its way through us all, but it’s quiet, unremarkably dressed, and slow to speak, so few people have noticed it yet?
May it be so!
Every month, I gather a few links from Substack or the Internet and feature them with a short note. Usually a common theme runs through the posts. I try to keep it simple.
When the occasion calls for it, I may offer a peace-oriented essay on a timely topic. In that case, links will be embedded in the text or notes.
Why subscribe?
If this strikes a chord with you, subscribe to receive PeaceLinks in your inbox whenever we post - currently every 3rd Friday of the month or thereabouts.
All posts are free. A paid subscription option is available for those who would like to send an extra nudge of support.

Who writes this thing?
Hi. I’m Tara Penry, PhD, a professor of American literature who wanted a place to store uplifting and heartening links about peace, cooperation, human decency, and the middle ground between good-faith differences (not hardened extremist positions).
And so I started PeaceLinks as a personal archive that I’m happy to share with anyone who grooves to the same tune.
I try to keep a light hand in this newsletter — I don’t plan to offer extended commentary here except when an occasion calls for it. My original essays, poems, and sketches appear weekly at my other newsletter, Quiet Reading with Tara Penry.
