August 19th forum announcement

Dear Poetry Aficionados,

IBPC: Poetry & Poets in Rags


News in poetry and the Olympics still intersect this week. Our lead story is about Tibetan poet Tenzin Tsundue. And in our Great Regulars section, Luisetta Mudie brings us more on this situation of the Chinese government silencing people during the games. For Beijing, the Olympics should stand solely as a source of pride for the good Chinese folks and athletes, but the games have also become very important for their government's image management.

News at Eleven is strikingly international this week. For starters, we touch down in Tibet, Russia and Palestine, Uzbekistan, Cameroon and Nigeria, India and California, Great Britain, and then fall down in New York.


Yours,
Rus
