Poems in Response to Peril: An Anthology
Preorder now from pennkemp@gmail.com!
Poems in Response to Peril: An Anthology highlights the work by 45 of our most committed Canadian poets, responding to the current crisis in Ukraine and other perils afflicting our troubled times. These passionate, often heartbreaking, poems offer us sunflowers and broken earth; intimacy and grief; falling bombs and the fragility of flesh; AK-47s and a bride’s bouquet. This anthology couldn't be more timely and necessary.
Poems in Response to Peril, edited by Penn Kemp, is 100 pages of poetry that describe what Kemp calls “a sharing of community, of heart space. Such an outlet for despair helps us—both writer and reader— to become activists. The poems encompass the entirety of human emotions, written and published in the white heat of the moment, March 2022. The videos of readings by our contributors will be linked by q.r. code in the book! You can see 32 now up on https://www.youtube.com/user/veggiemeister/playlists,"
