DC Poets Against the War
Join DC Poets Against the War as they celebrate the publication of the second edition of "DC Poets Against the War: An Anthology," and call for an end to the killing in Iraq. Poets will read their poems from the anthology, to be followed by an open mic. Come hear voices for peace and share your words of hope and resistance. Among the anthologized poets planning to read are: Patricia Gray, John Clarke, Ann Knox, Sarah Browning, Yael Flusberg, Leah Harris and Wade Fletcher.
It's happening on Friday, Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m., at St. Aloysius Church (North Capitol and I Streets NW). To sign up for the open mic in advance, please send an email. For more information, contact Sarah Browning at 202/545-7959 or send an e-mail.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
