Website Solicits Poetry About BP Oil Spill
Amidst the turmoil that has erupted in all sectors of society in its aftermath, a website was set up to publish poetry written in response to it. poetsforlivingwaters.com/ states as its mission: "The first law of ecology states that everything is connected to everything else. An appreciation of this systemic connectivity suggests a wide range of poetry will offer a meaningful response to the current crisis, including work that harkens back to Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing regional effects."
Many poems and poetry-related events are posted there, including work by Caitlin Plunkett, Frank Sherlock, Michele Battiste, Brooks Haxton, Ron Silliman, Sam Schild, Fady Joudah, and Alicia Ostriker. Poems are catagorised in various ways. Some are featured and there are links to access them alphabetically. Also there are some on the home page- apparently in order of publication.
Submission information is listed as follows: Please submit 1-3 poems, a short bio, and credits for any previously published submissions to: poetsforlivingwaters@yahoo.com.
