Item description from seller

121, [5] pages. Foreword, Introduction & thanks, Closing Comments. Biographies and Acknowledgments. Among the poets are: Julia Alvarez, David Budgill, Greg Delanty, Jody Gladding, Donald Hall, Jamaica Kincaid, Galway Kinnell, William O'Daly, Grace Paley, Jay Parini, and Ruth Stone! This is the first book set in Hermann Zapf's Optima nova and Optima Titling fonts, produced by Linotype GmbH!!! The copyright to each poem is held by its author and permission to reprint was granted by the author, unless noted otherwise on pp. 138-139. Note, the pagination of this volume stops at page 121. On February 16, 2003, Northshire Bookstore sponsored "A Poetry Reading to Honor the Right to Protest as A Patriot and Historical American Tradition."

His two most famous typefaces, Palatino and Optima, were designed in 1948 and 1952, respectively. Those who practice the miraculous art of stitching words into a web have not merely the right but the duty to protest and dissent--Edward Morrow. On February 16, 2003, eleven contemporary poets held a reading in Manchester, Vermont, called A Poetry Reading in Honor of the Right to Protest as a Patriotic and Historical Tradition. The reading was sponsored by the Northshire Bookstore. Cry Out: Poets Protest the War gathers together the poems read by the participants, many original poems and others poems by such renowned poets as Langston Hughes, Pablo Neruda, and Walt Whitman. Celebrating poetry's vital and historic role as a means of peaceful protest, these poems remind us, as Jay Parini observed, that although it might take time, the language of poetry seeps through. And that this language has the potential to redirect the fate of nation.…
