What Are Poets For in the Age of Ecological Civilization
The Contributions of Process Poetry

The purpose of the Forum is to bring together creative process poets and process thinkers from US, China, Russia, Europe, and other countries to share their poems as well as their understanding of process poetry. These poems invite us into a process of being aware and mindful, open and caring, self-confident and free. They invite us to imagine communities of love and wonder, kindness and creativity. Through poetry we explore the possibilities for building what we call compassionate communities and an ecological civilization. We are capable of changing our world, but first we must imagine together.
