“Foreign Policy in Focus: a think tank without walls”
http://www.fpif.org/fpifzines/wb/6395
has a piece describing poets’ participation: “The Iranian Struggle Continues.” You can see the poems that were included in the protest itself—one by Roger Sedarat. And as the summer draws to a close, here is a quote to think about:
“Don’t live in the world as if you were renting or here only for the summer, but act as if it were your father’s house…. Believe in seeds, earth, and the sea, but people above all. Love clouds, machines, and books, but people above all.” Nazim Hikmet, 20th Century Turkish poet (thanks to Persis Karim for this sending this).
