Synopsis
Those who practice "the miraculous art of stitching words into a web" have "not merely the right but the duty to protest and dissent."Edward Morrow On February 16, 2003, eleven contemporary poets held a reading in Manchester, Vermont, called "A Poetry Reading in Honor of the Right to Protest as a Patriotic and Historical Tradition." The reading was sponsored by the Northshire Bookstore and drew a crowd of more than six hundred people. Cry Out: Poets Protest the War gathers together the poems read by the participants, many original poems and others poems by such renowned poets as Langston Hughes, Pablo Neruda, and Walt Whitman. Among the poets present at the reading were Julia Alvarez, Donald Hall, Jamaica Kincaid, Galway Kinnell, William O'Daly, Grace Paley, Jay Parini, and Ruth Stone. Celebrating poetry's vital and historic role as a means of peaceful protest, these poems remind us, as Jay Parini observed, that although it might take time, "the language of poetry seeps through." And that this language has the potential to redirect the fate of nations.

This is the first book set in Hermann Zapf's Optima nova and Optima Titling fonts, produced by Linotype GmbH!!!

On February 16, 2003, Northshire Bookstore sponsored "A Poetry Reading to Honor the Right to Protest as A Patriot and Historical American Tradition." This even was organized in response to the cancellation of the White House Poetry Symposium , and 750 people attended an evening of poetry and protest hosted by the First Congregational Church of Manchester, Vermont. This book is the result of a collaboration between Northshire Bookstore and George Braziller, Inc. Mr. Braziller attended the event. Hermann Zapf (8 November 1918 - 4 June 2015) was a German type designer and calligrapher. Typefaces he designed include Palatino, Optima, and Zapfino. Zapf's career in type design spanned the three most recent stages of printing: hot metal composition, phototypesetting (also called cold type), and digital typesetting. His two most famous typefaces, Palatino and Optima, were designed in 1948 and 1952, respectively.
