100 poems for human rights
A rousing collection of human rights poems by an international array of poets, mixing well known names with relative newcomers.
In all its fluid and flexible forms, poetry has a vitality that succinctly reflects the range of human rights voices. Here are poems about equality, freedom of speech, peace, dignity, respect, and justice. They are as much about assertiveness and hope as they are about injustice and the outrages that scar human history. Includes 100 poems on issues ranging from colossal historic events - like Siamanto’s ‘The Dance’, about the Armenian genocide - to more domestic concerns - like Rita Ann Higgins’ exploration of deprivation in Ireland.
Supporting and supported by Amnesty International, contributors include: Boris A Novak, Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy, Edward Baugh, Lorna Goodison, Rita Ann Higgins, Marina Colasanti, Ademir Kenovic, Abdulah Sidran, Siamanto, Rostislav Evdokimov-Vohac, Leila Djabali, Valerie Bloom, Adrienne Rich, Tenzin Tsundue, Pak Chaesam, Kimiko Hahn, Harryette Mullen, Robert Hershon, Forugh Farrokhzad and Margaret Attwood.
148 x 210 mm, 192 pages, paperback.
