] The 11,000 poets whose work is published on this site
] were part of the largest outcry of poets in history
] against the war. After the fall of Baghdad and other
] Iraqi cities, and as the fighting winds down, it is
] important for us to celebrate this eloquent demand for
] peace, and to pledge ourselves to continue this work for
] peace. We'd like to invite you to join us in a special
] event on the first of May -- a celebration of the voices
] of the many poets worldwide who contributed this spring
] to the poetsagainstthewar.org web site.
