Dear Friends:
This idea has been on my idea for a few weeks, but I
feel I need to do it in response to what has occurred
last week. From now on, ALL proceeds made by
Rattapallax magazine and our ebooks will be donated
UNICEF. A percentage will be given to the authors,
distributors and the rest will be donated to UNICEF.
In addition, we are starting a new ebook poetry press
dedicated to poetry from around the world featuring
poets writing in their native language (translations
are optional). The poets' manuscripts will be
selected by prominent literary magazine editors. The
first group will be selected by:
1. Margaret O'Bank, editor of Banipal magazine
(London--magazine of modern Arab literature in English
translation)
2. Christiane Tricoit, editor of Le Palais des počtes
(France)
3. Pallav Ranjan, editor of Spinny Babbler (Nepal)
4. Masako Takahashi, editor of Suien (Japan)
Additional ebooks are scheduled from editors from
China, South Africa, Colombia and Argentina. The
ebook press follows the spirit of the Dialogue Through
Poetry program.
I realize this is a small step, but I believe in
UNICEF's objectives and support their goals.

Through Poetry can be found at
