Fighting in the Dark

In Fighting in the Dark, A.R. Moxon continues the project begun in his first collection of essays, Very Fine People, offering what he describes as the "confessions of an American fool." Collecting pieces first published on his website, The Reframe, this volume covers the pivotal years from January 2023 to June 2025-a time of national "relapse" into the foundational supremacist traditions that our nation, failing to recognize it as the existential peril it is, failed to dismantle.

Inviting yet unflinching, these essays provide a moral compass for those hoping to move from awareness into action, and those who seek a reminder that, while the darkness of supremacy is pervasive, the beautiful idea of a diverse nation of justice, equity, and equality for all is still being born. A strategy for differentiation rather than a work of passive despair, this collection urges readers to reject the fascist offer of false peace in favor of aggressive celebration and the repair of our collective spirit, and offers a vital reminder that hope is a thing that fights in the dark.
