A.A. Winston Explores Political Dissent and Civic Responsibility in “You Say You Want a Revolution”

A.A. Winston presents “You Say You Want a Revolution,” a poetry collection centered on the author’s concerns about American democracy, individual rights, and government responsibility. Drawing from his background as a former newspaper reporter and his experience in state government, federal government, and higher education, Winston uses poetry to express his political perspective and encourage readers to consider their role as citizens.

Through a series of politically charged poems, “You Say You Want a Revolution” addresses themes of civic participation, democratic institutions, government accountability, and the preservation of individual rights. Winston describes the collection as a call for “we the people” to recognize what he views as threats to democracy and to consider how ordinary citizens can respond through collective action.

Winston’s professional background spans journalism, public-sector work, higher education, and industry advocacy. Originally from central Massachusetts, Haddad worked as a newspaper reporter covering local government, education, and economic development before taking positions in North Carolina and later working across state and federal government and higher education. Now based in Durham, North Carolina, he creates partnerships and advocates for the craft beer industry through the NC Craft Brewers Guild. “You Say You Want a Revolution” is his third poetry book, following “Growth” and “Pieces of Mind.”

Readers will find the book as a direct and politically expressive collection that invites reflection on the relationship between citizens and government. Rather than presenting a detached examination of political issues, Winston uses poetry as a personal form of expression, communicating his concerns about the direction of the country and his belief in the importance of civic engagement.

“You Say You Want a Revolution” is available in paperback and hardcover through Amazon, Booktopia, and other major online booksellers. For more information about A.A. Winston and his works, visit https://russhaddadauthor.com/.
