Voice of Humanity

Publisher Marketing: This is a global anthology, written by poets whose pens blaze with a passionate wish to halt the assault of the injustices foisted on innocent humanity. If you read between the lines, you may hear the 'Voice Of Humanity', which is crying out to be listened to. These poets vocalize the concerns of many people around the world, and their compassion reveals their fundamental belief that poets should write about matters in a way that empowers ordinary people. The issues raised therefore are topical, and include those represented by the global media, yet they are dealt with in a very precise manner, concentrating on particular areas of interest for individual poets. These poets are drawn from around the world, from countries such as America Jamaica, Hungary and African countries. The theme common to all, is an appreciation of humanitarian concerns; these are poets who write with conviction and with courage, and who embrace fully their concerns through the medium of the English Language. They articulate common concerns to all humanity, yet represent what Wilfred Owen, the famous poet once commented: 'The poetry is in the pity'. The sadness that the world is far away from peace is reflected within these poems, and 'We Cry for Peace', volume two of this Speaking Pen International Anthology, also echoes this sentiment. Many thanks for your interest in this anthology!
