A wide international selection of poets this month - from South America: a Colombian living in the US, an Ecuadoran and two from Chile including the great Neruda. Two each from Canada, Italy, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Poland, Jamaica, Israel and the Czech Republic are all represented, along with the customary sprinkling of American and English voices.
We commemorate the 7th anniversary of 9/11 as well as mourning the passing of summer ... hoping for an Indian one.
Last month saw the death of the poet known as the voice of the Palestinian people, Mahmoud Darwish. We'll revisit his work next month.
Enjoy ...
