They are as much about assertiveness and hope as they are about injustice and the outrages that scar human history. 100 poems deal with colossal historic events (for example, Siamanto's 'The Dance', about the Armenian genocide) as well as more domestic concerns (Rita Anne Higgins' exploration of deprivation in Ireland, for instance). Includes the work of Adrienne Rich, Kimiko Hahn, Lorna Goodison, Abdulah Sidran, Harryette Mullen, Leila Djabali, Valerie Bloom, Tenzin Tsundue, Robert Hershon, Forough Farrokhzad and Margaret Atwood.

Enjoyable Mix of PoemsDec 17, 2009
This is a well-selected anthology of poems from a variety of authors from around the world, some well known and others less well known. The poems address oppression in its various forms and people's responses to it. I enjoyed the different voices and styles. Overall this is an inspiring book.
