Poetry for Peace is a gathering place for writers and lovers of poetry who share a common goal for the cessation of hostilities and the achievement of a world in which war is unthinkable. The centerpiece project is Poetry for Peace 3000, a project that takes as its point of departure the question "Can peace be achieved by the onset of the Third Millennium, the year 3000?"

A number of other projects involving publications and educational outreach are under development including an annual 24-hour nonstop poetry reading for peace.

We hope you'll join us!
