The world is moving ever closer to war, and in the face of what feels inevitable, we must do what we can... what we can do here is to gather the voices of poets in a great chorus for peace.

Anne MacNaughton's poem “early on january one” was the seed for this new collection of Poems for Peace. It prompted us to ask, what are you doing to stop the war? And here we are, bringing you a new anthology of the poems you sent us in answer to that question. May it grow and bring peace into the world.

Stay tuned... we'll keep adding to the collection as poets all over the planet keep making poems for peace.
