Anti-Nuclear Poetry

“The Nuclear Age reflects human technological progress outpacing our moral capacities, and it places all complex life, including human life, in danger of annihilation. It calls upon poets to explore the great challenges that nuclear weapons and nuclear power pose to achieving a just and peaceful human future or any future at all. In the Nuclear Age, our only salvation may be the compassion emanating from the human heart, surely a rich subject for poetic exploration.” – David Krieger
