We present poetry, thoughts and prayer inspired by the 2014 Gaza war, a military operation launched by Israel after rocket fire from Gaza struck Israel.
It was recorded in the summer of 2014 as the war continued.
The recent repetition of that scenario in 2021 inspired
tonight's East End Ink.
Poets Cheryl Boyce Taylor and Kathy Engel read their work and each others work.
Recorded in May 2021 in a Zoom session by Canios Cultural Cafe.
In his new book Let Us Dream, Pope Francis describes a vision of a more just society, and environmentally, post-pandemic.
