Dear Poetry Aficionados, IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags American woman poets are featured in the first three articles we link to in News at Eleven, and the last two as well. In fact, you'll find yet more on this theme in our Great Regulars section. Next month will bring the Beijing Olympics. This event has brought to us many news stories this year about freedom of speech, or the lack there of. When the freedom is lacking, both poets and activists for a better world are put through the ordeal of being persecuted by the feeble-minded puppeteers and puppets of state; captured, prosecuted, and imprisoned in both their insanity and concrete. But isn't it interesting that the meaning behind the Beijing Olympics becomes freedom of speech, although because of its lack instead of its abundance. Instead of a speech feast, there is speech famine. Yours, Rus Our links: IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags Poetry & Poets in Rags blog IBPC Home ~~~~~~~~~~~ |
