This is the first Poets for Peace anthology which includes peace poems from over 170 poets who have contributed to this endeavor to celebrate peace and a better world for all people. This book represents a positive step toward fulfilling our universal need for a world where loving kindness and respect replace violence and aggression. Poets know that words have power, and poetry is a sturdy vehicle to influence how people think about the world and the future of this planet that is our home.
Poets for Peace was created in June 2024 following a presentation by Ihor Pavlyuk, the Peoples Poet of Ukraine, at the National Federation of State Poetry Societies (NFSPS) Annual Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Pavlyuk is a highly respected poet and was nominated this year for the Nobel Prize in Literature. As an orphan himself, he is highly motivated to help orphans, and he inspired the audience to aid his efforts. After the convention, Poets for Peace was created as a vehicle to help gather resources to help foster peace and provide some assistance to the Ukraine's orphans. All proceeds from the creation and sales of this book will go directly to help the ever-growing number of orphans in Ukraine.
