30 DAYS HATH SEPTEMBER

HELLO ALL:

I am so pleased to bring POEMS into the 2012 political campaign.  

Yes, 30 DAYS HATH SEPTEMBER: another kind of noise seeks to share language that cuts through or away from the very nasty noise of this year’s election. Thirty poets and 30 new poems-a new one each day.   The line up is amazing and builds on the wonderful relationships I’ve found with Black Earth Institute Fellows and   with poets around the planet.  And I know there are others that would love to be part of this, but please if you see a poem that provokes thought or dreams or calls to action, please comment. The more comments shared, the more noise we make, the quieter that other noise becomes.

Black Earth Institute is a progressive think tank focusing on the intersection of social justice, the environment and spirituality.  My fellowship with the Institute has brought me important information, new ways of seeing how to address complex issues and ways to engage them artistically.  

Please consider supporting the Institute’s work at www.blackearthinstitute.org.
