The title of this blank book comes from the poem CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR by Edna St. Vincent Millay (see excerpt below). This book should be filled with your favorite anti-war poem, quotation, slogan, folk song. Illustrate them if you wish. Feel free to include original poetry, prose and personal experiences of pro-peace activism. Use as much space as you like, it’s a big book.
“I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death;
I am not on his pay-roll.
I will not tell him the whereabout of my friends
nor of my enemies either.
Though he promise me much,
I will not map him the route to any man’s door.
Am I a spy in the land of the living,
that I should deliver men to Death?”

RE: Birthday Books vol 1-41. I was very excited to read about the bookmooch journal project as I usually celebrate my birthday with art/performance art madness related to the number in question. In August I will be a delightful 41 years wild. I have purchased 41 blank journals and am giving each individual themes. When all the wayward art has winged its way home to me, I look forward to a local celebration to share and enjoy these books with friends.
