A report on Poets Against War, an evening of spoken word and poetry in Montreal to respond to recent wars in the Middle-East and elsewhere.
Produced for the CKUT (90.3FM) community news collective in Montreal by Aaron Lakoff. Please email aaron@resist.ca after use.
On August 30, 2006, over 20 poets will gather at the Casa del Popolo in Montreal in a unique event entitled Poets Against War. Originally conceived by artist/musican Norman Nawrocki, the event will bring together poets from various communities in the city to read pieces in English, French, Arabic, and Urdu. In this report, we speak with some of the poets participating in this event, and talk about the force of words in the face of war.
