Summary

This new anthology, sponsored by Writers for Peace, offers readers a powerful and moving selection of poems around the many complex aspects of being the "other" in a society or place. Resonating throughout the pages of this collection is the concept of the ubiquity of "otherness"-the challenges of being different, the deep and tragic disparities within and among cultures, and the even deeper sameness of us all. The poetic contributions themselves reflect a wide diversity of backgrounds and styles, from the work of the highly-acclaimed former U. S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins and Palestinian political activist Mahmoud Darwish, to that of more "grass-roots" poets who, though lesser-known, are no less committed to the world peace imperative. At a time of such great suffering and strife across the globe, this is a timely, relevant, and thought-provoking collection.Writers for Peace is an organization dedicated to the support of writers, in the firm belief that self expression through writing helps promote peace in the world. Net proceeds from book sales go to the Writers for Peace fund to provide scholarships to young writers. See www.writersforpeace.org
