Peace and Poems
I invite everyone to send a poem to each of their political representatives as a direct plea for peace.
If you do, I will publish the poem in a book.
You can find contact information for your representatives at www.usa.gov
Please use the LOCAL OFFICE mailing address.
I ask that you send the poem with a Signature Confirmation from the US Postal Service. This ensures the poem is received by the designated representative. Then send me a copy of the poem and record of the Signature Confirmation.-You can send me the paper receipt or the online version-the Signature Confirmation tracking number. There is a charge for the Signature Confirmation but I think its worthwhile to use the service.
You can find information about Signature Confirmation at ww.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extraservices/signatureconfirmationservice.htm
IF you feel uncomfortable mailing your own work or know non-poets who would like to participate, simply find a poem that speaks to you and give credit to the poet who wrote it. Please make copies of any poems you send. I cannot be responsible for original versions and their return.
IF you mail different poems to each of your representatives, I will select one poem to publish.
It would be great if you could include a note that specifies the poem is sent because you are participating in "Peace and Poems". "Peace and Poems" is a plea to U.S political leaders to immediately work towards peace and NOT make decisions based on greed. This is a plea to bring US soldiers home from combat and it is a plea for legislations that embody peace-justice and sustenance for living things.
You can email any questions and/or your submission and confirmation to
peace(at)poetryinbaltimore.com
