Progressive Poets Corner

Poetry can serve as a conduit to channel emotional responses to the outrages that confront us daily. It can serve to mobilize sentiment and direct our energies in ways which mere polemic cannot. Poetry also allows for the emoting of deeply held longings and sentiments that cannot be adequately expressed by other means. This blog is established to give voice to those who seek fundamental change both here and abroad that will address the underlying challenges that we face as a species to not only survive but to protect the world we have inherited.

For now, anyone who wishes to contribute a poem to this blog can do so via comments which will then be posted as an entry.
