Poets Speaking Out

Language is a powerful tool. In 2007 SAFEHS teamed up with Achiote Press and published an anthology of poetry by survivors and supporters, "Speaking Truths: The Poetics of Defining Human Slavery" The collaboration was promoted with a poetry reading by contributors, Agustin Palacios, Elsa Orejudos Valimidano, and Keelikolani Lee. Successful events can be done either by writing poetry together or reading poetry as an event that invokes the creative energy surrounding the issue of anti-slavery..
