Poetic Action from Cuba for World Peace

Called upon today to speak out against the siege imposed by the United States on Cuba and the barbarism afflicting the world, prominent Cuban poets will lead a global poetic action for peace tomorrow in Havana.

The initiative, organized by the World Poetry Movement, will take place at the headquarters of the CubaPoesía Cultural Center in Vedado. It will feature the participation of major figures such as Nancy Morejón and Waldo Leyva, both recipients of the National Prize for Literature.

During the event, Antonio Guerrero, Virgilio López Lemus, Alex Pausides, Karel Leyva, Dimarys Águila, Yeilén Delgado, Jorge Ángel Hernández, and Yolanda Moreno will also share their work with the audience.

The action seeks to bring together—as on previous occasions—renowned practitioners of the craft in an effort not to remain indifferent to the new reality.

This time, Cuban intellectuals will once again unite their voices for total peace, "so threatened by the United States government," according to the call to action for the gathering.
