Browse Full-length Non-member TitlesSix poets explore themes of survival, strength and the power of the human heart, body and soul-as expressed through their poetry. Each poet individually survived Hiroshima, the Holocaust, China's Cultural Revolution, the Kurdish Genocide in Iraq, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Iranian Revolution. By summoning the creative voice of poetry to tell stories of survival and witness, each reclaims humanity and dignity in the wake of some of history's most dehumanizing circumstances.
