Hello Everyone:

Larry Jaffe, Antonieta Villamil, UNSRC Society of
Writers and I are going to be working with the UN to
help continue the Dialogue program started in March
2001 and setup readings in celebration of UNESCO's
World Poetry Day. We would once again like your help
in organizing readings in your city or town to
celebrate these occasions from 17 March to 24 March
2002. World Poetry Day is on 21 March. We are
working on another reading at the United Nations
building in New York City and have support from Noble
Laureate Wole Soyinka. The week of programs will be
called "Dialogue Through Poetry and World Poetry Day."
 The focus will be "building a culture of peace and
non-violence" through poetry. We hope you are
interested and look forward to hearing from you. If
you need a copy of the letter from UNESCO, please
email Larry Jaffe at [log in to unmask] or
visit our site at http://www.dialoguepoetry.org

Larry Jaffe and Antonieta Villami will be coordinating
all of the events around the world, so please contact
them if you have any questions.

Below are the others programs for 2002.

(2) Poetry on the Peaks
 We are working on another program called "Poetry on
the Peaks" which will continue the UN's Dialogue Among
Civilizations Through Poetry program started this
year. Poetry on the Peaks will happen next year and
will celebrate the UN's International Year of
Mountains. The goal of the program is to setup poetry
readings on mountaintops around the world and
corresponding readings in cities nearby. The readings
will happen throughout 2002 and will increase
awareness of pressing environmental and social issues
and promote cultural heritage of mountain societies
around the world. So far, I have commitments from Mr.
Gordon Janow with Alpine Ascents International based
in Seattle and Eric Simonson with International
Mountain Guides based in Portland. Together they will
read poems on most of the mountaintops listed on our
website. Pulitzer Prize winning poet and
mountain-climber Gary Snyder (over 70-years old) may
climb the Alps next spring 2002 and read a poem on
behalf of this program. The preliminary list includes
the Seven Summits (tallest mountains on each of the
seven continents).

(3) Neruda on Mercury
In conjunction with Poetry on the Peaks, I have
petitioned the Working Group for Planetary System
Nomenclature to name a crater on Mercury after the
distinguished poet--Pablo Neruda.

Information about the program can be found at
http://www.dialoguepoetry.org and information about
the UN's International Year of Mountains can be found
at http://www.mountains2002.org

Thank You,
Ram Devineni
Program Coordinator

Hola:

Larry Jaffe, Antonieta Villamil, la Sociedad de
Escritores UNSRC y yo, Ram Devineni, vamos a continuar
trabajando con la ONU para ayudar a fortalecer el
programa del Diálogo que tuvo su etapa inicial en el
2001. Estamos preparando las lecturas en celebración
del Día Mundial de la Poesía declarado por la UNESCO.
La propuesta es que nos ayudes a organizar lecturas en
tu ciudad para celebrar estas fechas del 17 al 24 de
marzo de 2002. El Día Mundial de la Poesía es el 21 de
marzo. Estamos planeando otra lectura en el edificio
de las Naciones Unidas en Nueva York con el apoyo del
Premio Nobel Wole Soyinka. Esta semana de lecturas se
llamará "Diálogo a través de la Poesía y Día Mundial
de la Poesía". El enfoque está centrado en "construir
una cultura de paz y no-violencia" a través de la
poesía. Esperamos que te interese este programa y
esperamos noticias de tu parte. Si necesitas una copia
de la carta de UNESCO, por favor envía tu dirección
electrónica a Larry Jaffe a [log in to unmask]

A continuación enumero otros programas para 2002.

(2) La Poesía en las CimasYo estoy trabajando en otro
programa llamado "La Poesía en las cimas" que
continuará con el Diálogo Entre Civilizaciones A
través de la Poesía iniciado por las Naciones Unidas.
La poesía en las Cimas comenzará el próximo año y
celebrará el Año Internacional de las Montañas
declarado por la ONU. La meta del programa es
organizar lecturas de poesía en las cimas de las
montañas alrededor del mundo y realizar lecturas en
las ciudades cercanas a dichas montañas. Las lecturas
se realizarán a lo largo de 2002 y se enfocarán en
aumentar conocimiento y hacer presión acerca de los
problemas medioambientales y sociales y promover la
herencia cultural de las sociedades cultivadas en las
montañas alrededor del mundo. Hasta el momento, se han
comprometido con el programa el Sr. Gordon Janow con
Alpine Ascents International basado en Seattle y Eric
Simonson con Guías Internacionales de la Montaña
basada en Portland. Ellos leerán poemas en la mayoría
de las cimas de las montañas, listado en nuestro
website. Nuestro Premio Pulitzer el poeta y alpinista
Gary Snyder (mayor de 70-años) subirá a los Alpes en
la primavera de 2002 y leerá un poema en nombre de
este programa. La lista preliminar incluye las Siete
Cúspides (las montañas más altas en cada uno de los
siete continentes).

(3) Neruda en Mercurio En conjunción con Poesía en las
Cimas, he solicitado al Grupo Activo para la
Nomenclatura del Sistema Planetario, para nombrar un
cráter en Mercurio con el nombre del distinguido
poeta--Pablo Neruda.

Puedes encontrar información sobre este programa en

Año Internacional de las Montañas declarado por la ONU

Gracias,
Ram Devineni
Coordinador del Programa
