"We knew that poetry, in itself, will never be enough to counter the machinery, structure and supra-structure of oppression and malfeasance in our existing human societies. But we also know that thought, concepts, words and feelings almost always precede or accompany human actions, if only at the unconscious levelŠ" From the Collective's first anthology Poets Against the Killing Fields, 2007.
The reading is open to the public. Refreshments will be available.
