Donna Allard poem Machu Picchu by Al Purdy

Machu Picchu -in the Peruvian Andes Al Purdy Like being surrounded by menacing picture postcards standing on end an overwhelmingness of stone a thunder in the vision —ghosts of Incas so absent here and I so aware of them their absence a negative-plus —and next morning the neighbouring mountain Birney once climbed completely mist-obscured and perhaps he is still climbing from his Toronto hospital room and if I yell “Hi Earle” I’ll hear his Andean bellow “Come on up Al” —only one thing to… Continue

RIVER BONES PRESS Poets & Writers Registry

Hi everyone. Over five weeks ago I created Facebook's Poets & Writers Registry and found the site limiting so I created a branch or should I say social network here on NING.com. The Facebook site has over 4600 members and growing by 300+ per week. If we get 'lucky' and the NING site gets as many members + then we are getting more quality promotion for ourselves, our poetry groups and small presses. I do hope you all join and together share the journey... Donna Allard… Continue

Let's tell Iris Robinson where she can stick it!

That's the rather piquant name of a Facebook group at the heart of a fightback against homophobia in Northern Ireland. The four thousand-strong campaign group on the social networking site is just one element of an online and offline campaign to challenge the anti-gay comments of Iris Robinson, an MP, MLA, Councillor, Chair of the NI Assembly's health committee (and, coincidentally, wife o

Tom Paine and The Rights of Man

It may soon be the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but December 10th 1948 – albeit a massively significant moment – was not the starting point for human rights. We could have a long argument about which is the most significant date in the history of the development of human rights, but 1791 has got to be in with a shout. It was in London in Fe

'Outsourcing abuse'

There is a lot to be said for 'bringing human rights home'. I personally believe that, as individuals and humans, we have the moral authority to criticise other countries and others' governments for human rights abuses. If this was not a core moral belief of mine, I doubt that I would be such a strong supporter of Amnesty International. But I would probably go a step further and say that

Is Northern Ireland fuelling genocide in Darfur?

Could Northern Ireland be helping to fuel genocide in Darfur? That's the almost incredible prospect opened up by new revelations from the BBC. I have previously blogged about the possibility that Northern Ireland companies could be helping to supply key parts for the Chinese K-8 light attack jet. In turn, it is feared by Amnesty that these jets have been sold on by China to human rights-a
