Write to be Counted: Poems to Uphold Human Rights

Never, since World War II, have core values and human rights seemed more under threat.  The future of the planet, and the people who live on it, in social, economic and environmental terms, seems genuinely at risk. Vulnerable people all over the world have seen their lives disrupted by war and extreme climate events. What can we do as writers?  All the poets in this anthology, from Lebanon to Cambodia, North America, Australasia and across Europe, have put words on paper in order to be counted, to support human rights, including the right to live on a planet that is fit for habitation.

All the profits will be donated to PEN, the international organisation which supports freedom of speech all over the world, to protect those who speak truth to power.
