Poets for Living Waters
is a poetry action in response to the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Its editors, Amy King and Heidi Lynn Staples, explain their mission like this:
The first law of ecology states that everything is connected to everything else. An appreciation of this systemic connectivity suggests a wide range of poetry will offer a meaningful response to the current crisis, including work that harkens back to Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing regional effects.
This online periodical is the first in a planned series of actions. Further actions will include a print anthology and a public reading in Washington DC.
Also, here´s a useful interview with Amy King about gender, publishing, action, and poetry on the internet.
