Who says my poems are poems? My poems are not poems at all! Only when you
understand that my poems are not poems can we begin to talk about poems..

Ryokan, Japanese poet

 

Emily Dick­in­son wrote, "If I feel phys­i­cally as if the top of my head
were taken off, I know that is poetry." 

 

"Poetry is for me Eucharistic. You take someone else's suffering into your
body, their passion comes into your body, and in doing that you commune, you
take communion, you make a community with others."

Mary Karr from her 2010 interview with Judy Valente on PBS' Religion &
Ethics NewsWeekly.

 

"I used to think I wrote because there was something I wanted to say. Then I
thought, 'I will continue to write because I have not yet said

what I wanted to say'; but I know now I continue to write because I have not
yet heard what I have been listening to."

South Koreans on Jeju Island and the Afghan Peace Volunteers Say "No!" to
U.S. Military Bases
by Hakim and the Afghan Peace Volunteers

APV, Ghulam Hussein: When did the people of Gangjeong Village in Jeju Island
start their struggle?

Jeju Island activist, Sung Hee: In 2007, the Republic of Korea military
quietly sneaked into the village, without the knowledge of most villagers.
As soon as the villagers realized the navy's intention to build the naval
base in their hometown, the villagers non-violently protested in whatever
ways they could, including walking around Jeju Island in protest. A
Jeju-born female member of the South Korean National Assembly held a 27-day
hunger strike. There are about 1,900 villagers in Gangjeong Village and in a
vote on August 20 that year, 94% voted in opposition to the construction of
Jeju Naval Base.
 
............................

APV, Ali: The Afghan Peace Volunteers are mainly young. Are there many young
people in your work?

Jeju Island Activist, Paco: Yes, we have people as young as 13 attending our
week-long Peace Schools. We also have grandfathers and grandmothers.
 
.............................

APV, Abdulhai: We understand that Jeju Island has UNESCO Heritage sites. Has
the UN or UNESCO protested against the military base construction?

Jeju Island Activist, Paco: UNESCO has been evading our requests for more
information. We asked for a map of the exact boundaries of the UNESCO
Heritage Sites because we had conflicting information, but they wouldn't
help us.

APV, Abdulhai: Afghanistan also has UNESCO Heritage sites like Band-i-Amir
in Bamiyan Province. So, Afghanistan and Jeju Island have the same struggle
against militarism destroying their land and people.
