Dear David and Everyone: The "Dialogue Among Civilizations Though Poetry" program is ENTIRELY FREE and is being paid for and organized at the grassroots level by teachers, poets, doctors, students,...in fact it is open to everyone and anyone can participate. The program is the most democratic and visionary program I have ever worked on because what it is trying to achieve. The National Arts Club has dedicated itself to supporting the arts from the grassroots level to UN for over 100 years. Without them, many artists...many poor and young artists would have never had an opportunity to achieve their full potential or even start. One of them includes myself. The National Arts Club has generously allowed us to use their space and are willing to pay for the cost of the evening. I am very grateful to them and the good people who volunteer their time there. I think when organizations like the National Arts Club and other foundations provide their support, they should be praised and not attacked.
