CATTLE CAR

Dedicated to the Jewish Warring Organization who struggled against tyranny and put up great resistance.

"In addition to the harm the warriors wanted to inflict on the enemy they wanted to show the world that in spite of their isolation the Jews resisted the Nazi murder machine. It was important to show that the Jews did not go like lambs to the slaughter. In Poland the history of this event was recorded as a rebellion act executed by the Gwardia Ludowa… Jewish warriors were not mentioned even once in spite of the fact that not even one Pole participated. The Germans also contributed to the historical distortion by never admitting in public to the Jewish rebellion."

   About Larry Jaffe
Larry Jaffe Bio

From the romantic to humor and social commentary, Jaffe impacts audiences with a rich emotional range, masterfully crafted. His poetry appears in numerous publications as well as the Internet where he is considered an artistic pioneer. Jaffe has been featured in a variety of poetry venues and festivals both throughout the U.S. and abroad and has read his work in such distinguished locations as the Japanese American Museum, the Hammer Museum, the Museum of Tolerance, the Jewish Museum and the Museum of Literature in Prague and the Dylan Thomas Centre in Wales. Jaffe’s dynamic work integrates a strong sense of humor along with his tough stand on human rights and freedom.

The former poet-in-residence at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Jaffe has been hosting and curating poetry readings for several years while also co-founding Poetix Poetry Magazine (a guide to Southern California Poetry). Additionally, Jaffe was a featured poet for Daimler/Chrysler’s Spirit in the Words poetry program. He is the co-founder of Poets for Peace (now Poets for Human Rights) and spearheaded along with Rattapalax Publisher Ram Devineni the United Nations Dialogue among Civilizations through Poetry project which incorporated hundreds of readings in hundreds of cities globally using the aesthetic power of poetry to bring understanding to the world.

For his entire professional career Larry Jaffe has been using his art to promote human rights and to reward this commitment was recently appointed Poet Laureate for Youth for Human Rights (www.youthforhumanrights.org). He was the recent recipient of the Saint Hill Art Festival’s Lifetime of Creativity Award, the first time given to a poet.

 Poetstock 2009!

Never before has this been done, and hopefully it will be successfully repeated after this all over the world, again and again….

Our aim is to bring together poets from all over, who produce all genres of poetry for a night of mingling, poetry, shameless self promotion….  Each poet will have the poetry to read their work on stage, sell their work to those who would like to buy, and mingle with the best poets of our generation.

It will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 9 PM at STUDIO PARK; 1519 Carroll Dr
Atlanta, GA 30318-3605

If you have walked in the heart of the Greenwood
and have bathed in the light of its living force
remember what you have felt;
and whenever you pass a tree
whether it stands alone in a wilderness of human making
or in the depth of woodland,
give a moment of your time to listen to its voice.
For in many parts of the land the trees are dying
only the hearts that know something of the true wisdom can save them. (Anon)

Time to welcome in the Summer, health and happiness.

Si usted ha paseado por el centro del bosque verde
y se ha bañado en la luz de su fuerza viva
recuerde lo que usted ha sentido;
y siempre que usted pase al lado de un árbol
si está parado solamente en un yermo de fabricación humana
o en la profundidad del bosque,
dé un momento de su tiempo para escuchar su voz.
Porque en muchas partes de la tierra los árboles se están muriendo
solamente los corazones que tengan algo de la sabiduría verdadera pueden salvarlos. (Anón)

Hola, encantado de conocerle.
