Greening the Earth is a rare anthology that brings together global poetic responses to one of the major crises faced by humanity in our time: environmental degradation and the threat it poses to the very survival of the human species. Poets from across the world respond here in their diverse voices-of anger, despair, and empathy-to the present ecological damage prompted by human greed, pray for the re-greening of our little planet and celebrate a possible future where we live in harmony with every form of creation.

"Author MariJo Moore asked women from around the world to consider the devastating nature of conflict - inner wars, outer wars, public battles, and personal losses. Their answers, in the form of poignant poetry and essays, examine war in all its permutations, beginning in 60 CE and continuing into the twenty-first century, from Ireland to Iraq and everywhere in between. This anthology, with contributions from Paula Gunn Allen, Amy Goodman, and many others, encompasses a wide range of voices - a Blitz evacuee, an ex-slave, an incarcerated mother, former military personnel, survivors of domestic violence, those who have battled drugs and disease - all sharing their unique and timeless insight on the realities of war."--BOOK JACKET.
Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes an anthology as good as Only the Sea Keeps to bring the tsunami tragedy back into our hearts. The media are always looking for the next disaster, never staying at the same one for long. For those who want not to rush past this one, these poems help us to remember the dead and the survivors. And we don't have to do it alone. We're in the company of poets who haven't stopped caring.'-Hal Sirowitz, former Poet Laureate of Queens, New YorkIn a tremendous effort to come to terms with a natural disaster that took the life and livelihood of millions, and affected the whole world, this is a deeply moving collection of poems by a distinguished group of poets from across the world. Encompassing themes of grief, shock, disbelief and the painful process of healing, Only the Sea Keeps is a beautiful example of the ability of art to address tragedy.The proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the international relief organisations working with tsunami victims/survivors.
