peacemaking poetry shout-out

I'd like to give a shout out to poet Philip Metres. In 2008 he edited a lovely anthology called Come Together: Imagine Peace (Bottom Dog Press). I'm biased because I have two poems in it, but it really is a neat selection of new and established names. The reason I'm mentioning him is that just today I stumbled across his fabulous blog, Behind the Lines Poetry. His blog features a poem a week that addresses peacemaking, as well as poetry reviews and other fascinating finds. It makes my heart happy to see people focused on poetry and justice.
