Those interested in peace poetry might pay attention to Consequence magazine, and the poets among us might want to take a look at the 2010 Consequence Prize in Poetry (which is that rare thing in the world of poetry, a contest with no submission fee.)
Thank you, Geoff. I'd never heard of Consequence before.
