O knihe

Palewell Press's second anthology of poetry and prose - this time focusing on Covid-19 and how the coronavirus pandemic has affected people and society. The book offers a truly global perspective from Yan Li's testament to suffering in China; through Joseph Kaifala of Sierra Leone's Center for Memory and Reparations; Iranian-born Sholeh Wolpé in California; María Cristina Azcona, President of the International Forum for Literature and Culture of Peace in Latin America; Simon Lichman in Jerusalem, working for peace between Israeli and Palestinian communities; many UK-based human rights advocates: Dima Mekdad, Hasan Kahya, Anna Maria Mickiewicz, Nasrin Parvaz, Aydin Mehmet Ali, Taffy Nyawanza, Meltem Arikan, Shanta Acharya; and other wonderful writers. Covid-19 issued a clarion call for us to help the vulnerable and be more aware of the needs of those around us. To quote Steve Champion, incarcerated on Death Row in San Quentin Prison, California, "We are all connected, no matter where we are; we share the same earth and our common humanity should inspire us to preserve it by taking good care of it, and of each other." As we look ahead, we can't ignore the increasingly urgent interlinked challenges of climate change, social inequalities and the refugee crisis. This anthology, with its wide range of viewpoints and insights, will enrich the creative debate about our future.
