Time To Show Up: Poets For Democracy - Poets Unite Worldwide

Mehr zum Buch

"Time To Show Up" is an evocative title for an anthology on democracy: it suggests answering a call to duty or to defense; there is the awareness that "Now My Country Needs Me," and it comes from that same source as true patriotism does -If your country is right, celebrate it. If it's wrong, reform it!*As Alexandra Alter wrote: "Like virtually everything else in the Trump era, poetry has gotten sharply political these days."*Indeed, as a matter of fact, the idea of a collection of poems about democracy came to me just because of Trump. The United States of America represent the most important democracy in the world. Yet, with the election of Donald Trump as its 45th President, America's Democratic Values as well as America's international leadership are at risk --and this means that international stability and global security are at risk. *'United We Stand' - Poets Unite Wordlwide.
