Poets Unite Worldwide
invite you to take part in the Anthology
'Fire, Water, Hunger, War
A Collapsing World'

Hello everybody!

As you all know, as if the many current crisis that the world is facing were not enough, a new one of gigantic proportions has been added: a third of Pakistan is under water, after an extreme monsoon season which, since mid-June, has discharged a record amount of rain and has already caused over 1,300 deaths. The apocalyptic flood —amplified by climate change— is affecting some 33 million people (!) ...countless families have lost everything they owned. Food and drinking water are in short supply and the risk of disease is increasing with each passing day.

With the hope that our Pakistani friends and their families are safe — our best wishes and prayers reach all of them! — ,

I would like to propose a volume of poems entitled

"Fire, Water, Hunger, War — A Collapsing World"

All of you are therefore invited to partecipate:

each poet can send up to 3 poems, of any length, to our group: 12. Poetry for Our Planet

Anthropogenic Climate Change is a dreadful threat to our Planet:
to Nature and Humankind

the new entries have to add a BIOGRAPHY no longer than 200 words, written in 1st person, stating clearly:

City/Country where currently living

Note: for publishing and copyright issues, we need to know the real name of all the poets.

The copyright of the poems will remain in the hands of their authors, but all participants will accept to make us free to publish the book at no cost and without any other obligation on our part than to publish the poems selected (the acceptance of this point will be attested, by each participant, by simply sending their poems).

NO FEES are requested.

A Judging Committee will decide if the poems are worthy to be accepted for publication.

Best regards
Fabrizio Frosini
