Over 5,000 poets have submitted poems to register their opposition to a war with Iraq. In doing so, they honor a long and rich tradition of thoughtful and moral opposition to senseless policies. At no time in history have so many poets spoken in such a large chorus. http://poetsagainstthewar.org Please click this link to donate to Poets Against the War, Box 1614, Port Townsend, WA 98368.
