United We Stand~Poets Against Terror
[A tribute to All Victims of terrorism]

Hi!

At this very moment 65 poets have already joined our Forum
https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/15-poets-against-terror-2

It would be great to gather 100+ good poems for this Anthology.

As an average, considering all our projects, c. 60% of all the registered poets submit their poem; therefore, it is not so simple to get 100 poems..

If you know good poets, please extend this invitation to join.

Best

"UNITED WE STAND ~ POETS AGAINST TERROR"

[A tribute to all victims of terrorism]

To take part in the compilation

Ask for free registration to the Group/Forum:

• https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/15-poets-against-terror-2

After registration, each member can submit a poem through the forum email:

• 15-poets-aga...@googlegroups.com

(Only the registered poets can submit their poetry)

Submission is limited to 1 (one) unpublished poem ***
no longer than 30 lines, with no more than 70 characters per line (spaces included)

Submission DEADLINE:  JULY  31st , 2017

________________________________

*** Only unpublished poems will be accepted

After the publication of the book (1 month after), you will be free to publish the submitted poem wherever you like.
Therefore, do not submit poems already posted at poetry- or other web-sites.
If you really want to use a poem you have already posted (published), you need to deactivate or put it off-line (at the various sites). You can re-post it 1 month after the publication of the book.

________________________________

The theme of this project is 'TERRORISM' and the book will be a compilation of 'POETRY OF WITNESS'.
Therefore, such a subject has to be explicit and not implicit in the submitted poems [= the poems need to state such a point clearly, leaving no room for confusion or doubt].

This is the continuation of our first editorial project started after the murdering of so many innocents in Paris, on Nov. 13, 2015, as a tribute to them and to the countless other victims of TERRORISM, worldwide. For this reason, we must avoid any prejudice regarding issues such as race, religion, political ideology, and the like.

Consequently, any expression of hatred (even towards the perpetrators of such heinous crimes) in the poems must be avoided –and we have to stay away from any 'political discourse/ debate'.

No one is safe from terror: any day we get news of murders committed by insane people, most often (although not always) in the name of a 'god' they don't really believe in.. because it is not God that is in their mind. What they have inside, is only the deepest void. And they simply want to fill their void with hatred.

Terrorism is also a manifestation of violent extremism, as they are deeply tied. Anyway, they represent an insane pursuit of political aims/power.

No one is safe, anywhere, by such a violent, bloody madness.. but we –all the people of good will– must stand up and refuse terror!

The Anthology will be our 2nd book of 'Poetry Against Terror' after our 1st published in 2016. See:

• http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019M1J0DU
• https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/628178

• https://www.facebook.com/PoetryAgainstTerror/
• https://www.facebook.com/poetsuniteworldwide/
• https://poetsuniteworldwide.wordpress.com/

Terrorism, which is one of the most important topics in the world today, refers to any act designed to cause 'terror' by means of violence or the threat of violence.

As a fundamental rule, terrorism is politically and emotionally charged, because it is meant to instill fear within, and thereby intimidate people, an entire country or even the whole world. Terrorism is certainly frightening, but the best way we can fight it is by living our lives without terror.

"Countering this scourge is in the interest of all nations"
[UN http://www.un.org/en/terrorism/]

ALL THE UNFIT POEMS WILL BE DISCARDED AFTER DEADLINE, without further notice.

________________________________

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

     First name
     Family name
     Nationality
     Country + Year of birth
     City/Country where currently living

Note: for publishing and copyright issues, we need to know the real name of all the poets. You can of course add your 'nom de plume' - pen name.

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 ebook 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). To make it clear: by submitting their poems the Authors agree to grant non-exclusive world rights to Fabrizio Frosini and 'Poets Unite Worldwide' for publishing the submitted poems in books, without fee, so long as the Authors are credited --this does not prevent the Authors from publishing their poems anytime, anywhere, by themselves, or from granting others the right to do so.

All participants will receive their own copy of the ebook (file PDF or EPUB).

NO FEES are requested.

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


Best regards

Hallo All,

At this very moment we are 73 poets (with 28 poems already submitted): quite far from the 100 poets I would like could join a project (our 2nd ebook) thought to be a tribute to All Victims of terrorism...

Thus, if you know good poets, please extend the invitation to join.
