Author of The Dream Hotel, The Other Americans, The Moor's Account, Secret Son, and Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits We provide reliable, well-researched information content to keep you informed and help you make better decisions. This content focuses on poets against the war and related topics.
Laura Bush’s cancellation of the White House Poetry Symposium (see yesterday’s entry here) has engendered quite a bit of press coverage. See the AP blurb, the New York Times article, the BBC, and the Guardian, for example. Visit Sam Hamill’s Poets Against the War site to read more anti-war poetry (and, in the interest of fairness, I’ll give a $20 bill to anyone who can point me to a “poets for war” site if there is such a thing, so I can link to both!)
