You are invited to a reading of poetry that shines a light on the plight of ordinary, innocent people in China today who are unjustly persecuted by the communist government—a government indirectly funded by you, me, and everyone reading this.

.

Submit to Read

Anyone published by the Society of Classical Poets in the Human Rights in China category just needs to send an email to host Damian Robin [email protected] with an SCP link to the poem. The first six spots will be guaranteed and receive a confirmation. Any additional time in the reading will be “open mic” for poems on freedom and human rights in China.
