World Food Day 2021

10/16/2021

A message from Hiram Larew, founder of the Poetry X Hunger Initiative:

"As we commemorate World Food Day today, with hurry, hope and hurt, please take a minute to close your eyes.  

Yes, in your silence acknowledge the wonder and miracle of being well-nourished.  And then, however you can, imagine the very opposite.    

Time permitting, also take a look at a powerful program about Food Heroes and Poetry held last Wednesday under the banner of the United Nations to commemorate World Food Day in North America.  

Here's a link to the 90-minute program.  Poets are on mic at about 1 hour and 15 minutes into the program. 
World Food Day Food Heroes Dialogue - Zoom


And, here's the link to the News Release about the event -- Poets call for empathy and action towards a hunger-free world  | FAO in North America | Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Here's a link to a hunger-focused para that was written by Basho (1644-1694) nearly  400 years ago.  It reminds us that poets have been writing about hunger for many years.  [Poem] For a lovely bowl by Bashō : Poetry (reddit.com)

Thanks to Debra Barrett, Brian Wibby, Sara Keinath and their colleagues at Michigan State University for being creatively willing to include poetry in today's program.
