Peaceful Persistence Shirts in the Wild

Peaceful Persistence Shirts in the Wild

Note from Mike: When my friend RT first showed me the cover he designed for my book Peaceful Persistence, I told him I thought it looked a little too dated. A little too 1970s or something. But in the end I decided to go with RT’s instincts. And since then, I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve approached the book signing table, pointed at Peaceful Persistence, and said, “I love the cover on that one.” It got to happening so often, we decided to make a T-shirt version. And we’ve been printing them ever since. So here’s to RT, here’s a big thank you to Trinity Lutheran Church, here’s to Spike Carlsen, and here’s to me being wrong again.

Recently, Trinity Lutheran Church in Stillwater, MN put on a great event with the author Kao Kalia Yang as part of their “Refugee Voices” series. The event was co-presented by the church’s Missions Team, the Stillwater Public Library, and the Stillwater Public Library Foundation. For those who were unable to attend in person, the program was livestreamed and broadcasted by Valley Access Channels (VAC). Valley Bookseller sold books.

While Michael was not able to be in attendance that day, the event volunteers sported their Peaceful Persistence Leaf t-shirts. You can grab yours here in either Leaf or Asphalt. You can also grab the long sleeve version here.
