SUMMARY:Hiroshima Day Anthology Poetry Reading: Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Hiroshima Day Anthology Poetry Reading: Virtual Event\n  \n2pm Eastern\, 11am Pacific \nRegistration Required – Registration Link \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtc-2rqDgjHtz9oNarNqMUl-Dwoy__6-FT \nHiroshima Day Anthology \nOn August 6th\, 1945\, the United States detonated an atomic bomb in Hiroshima\, Japan\, and another three days later in Nagasaki Japan. The possibility of nuclear war is no longer a distant memory\, but now a contemporary issue. As we mark the anniversary of Hiroshima send us a poem honoring the of victims and/ or examining the impact of these events. \n  \nHiroshima Day acknowledges the devastation of nuclear war on an international scale\, but also serves as a reminder of the repercussions of racism and racist policies. We are all complicit and we are all responsible for dismantling the systems of oppression and violence that led to this tragedy\, as well as the ongoing and horrific legacy of anti-Asian racism in the United States. Yuri Kochiyama\, the revolutionary activist\, once said: “We are all part of one another.” Poetry is one small yet mighty way that we can not only develop compassion\, but hold space for processing grief and trauma in the aftermath of this anniversary. \n  \nJoin us as contributors to this anthology read their poems \nProfits from the sale of the book will go to Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia
