Homo Homini Lupus. Why To kill a Mockingbird?: Poets Unite Worldwide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781980330660)

"Mala tempora currunt" after decades of hope that followed the major conflicts of the XX century, it seems that violence is spreading out again, in our frail "modern" world. Social, political and economic uncertainties grow, and they are fuelling the worst part of our being. Racism, Bigotry and Greed represent the major source of the river of hate that flows through the human society and sweeps our most important 'values' away... We, as Poets, cannot remain silent. Indeed, we need to meditate deeply on the meaning of being "truly humans", and on the meaning of "Democracy" for us, and for all mankind. [F.Frosini] * These poems come as a poetic testament of the plight endured throughout history by fellow human beings from all over the world, filtered through the veils of sentiments, emotion and human understanding, allowing the readers to partake in this collective experience and to contribute, by reading and staying informed to welfare of humanity. The unseen faces can also share a story, although miles or centuries apart. Can we learn a valuable life lesson by reading these poems? I think we can! [A.E. Laposi] * We are all in a sense immigrants. Take myself as an example. My mother's family are of Viking descent so, by default, I could be regarded as an illegal immigrant, so no doubt fifty percent of me should be told to get back to where I came from! The best defense against terror is to understand our neighbors and the views of our contributors will enhance this understanding and hopefully bring people closer together. [T. Billsborough]
