Federico Garcia Lorca in one of his poems wrote
“Poesía es lo imposible
hecho posible…”
now I think that Professor Ada Aharoni with the publication of the IFLAC Anti-terror and Peace Anthology has achieved this wonderful result: what seemed impossibile has become possible.
She has drawn cultures together and peoples of different ethnicities have cooperated on literary and artistic levels with mutual respect and appreciation.
Poems, but also haikus, articles, short stories, interviews and art lead us on the road of Peace and give us the hope that we will overcome terrorism.
It is a real honor to be part of this book which has been edited with a very high level of literary expertise.
Thanks to Ada Aharoni and Vijay Kumar Roy for their commitment to a better world.

The Fourth World Poetry Canada International Peace Festival!
Posted on August 10, 2014 by Ariadne

The Fourth World Poetry Canada International Peace Festival Proudly announces the Empowered Award Winners.
We had over 300 nominations come in, some even six months early. We wish we could honour all of you.
Each nominee was nominated by at least two people, in some cases much more. A check was made as to background, good heart,abilities and the quest for peace. The Empowerment awards are based on these qualities.
This year, the age range is from 12-100!
An award will be given to those that can attend during the month of October, for those who cannot come due to Visas or other reasons, a certificate will be sent to you by e-mail. In past festivals, awards were sent out, but most never reached their destinations. If there is a name or country error, please let us know.
This list will be going on site and when time permits, a brief bio, photo and a poem or writing will be put on site.
The festival is coming together, created by many hours of volunteer work for peace. We are have launched a Crowd Funding site to pay for some of the costs, rather than have it come out of pocket. For more information: Go to https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fourth-world-poetry-peace-festival/x/8284778 and join the team to create empowerment and peace!!This is your festival too and the waves of peace coming from it will circle the world!You can also contribute by becoming a peace connector volunteer and helping out in the festival. Contact: ariadnes@uniserve.com or astarte_sita@yahoo.com
All the best to you and keep up the good work. Peace and the world needs you!

With a Foreword by Hannah Ellis, granddaughter of Dylan Thomas
__________________________________________________
Originally commissioned by the Welsh Assembly in New York in 2008 and downloadable as a pdf version and audio version, it is now offered as a guided tour by New York Fun Tours.
The new book version, which will also be available as an Internet app from the Welsh Government and The British Council, is the part of the world-wide Dylan Thomas Centenary celebrations, DT100.
It is the main focus for The British Council DT100 Starless and Bible Black International Programme in America and is part of the re-launch of the actual Dylan Thomas Walking Tour of Greenwich Village by the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, guided by Peter and Hannah Ellis, granddaughter of Dylan Thomas in late February 2014.
It will be launched at Poets House, New York, in March, The Grolier Poetry Bookshop in Boston, and at the Henry Miller Library, California, in July.
The Welsh launch will be at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea, in May
The National Waterfront Museum will also display the Dylan Thomas Quotations Trail, which Peter was commissioned to research and put together to match the industrial themed areas in the museum, from July to January 2015, as part of the museum’s DT100 celebrations.
