Poets for Human Rights

A message from Larry Jaffe at Poets for Human Rights:

Poets for Peace was created in 1997 when I realized it was time to create a monument for peace in place of war. I felt a need to balance all the trash with some positive poetic work. And it did do that spreading out into the real world with global live readings over the last several years.

But now it is time for change and P4P though very dear to my heart is about to take on a new look and feel and cause.

The cause is human rights! As far as I am concerned at this time on planet earth it is one of the most important issues we face today if not the most important. We cannot have peace if we do not have human rights.

A fair number of the poets who are in the conversation here at this weblog strike me as already being Poets for Human Rights. Maybe we all should consider joining this group and submitting to and supporting the magazine they hope to start: Rope
