Poetry in Motion

THIS POEM IS SPONSORED BY...
POEMS IN THE FACE OF CORPORATE POWER


Deadline for submissions: 1st July 2006

Calling all writers and worriers, lyricists and layabouts, radicals and revolutionaries, thinkers and storytellers, performers and poets...

Corporations are the dominant institution of our time. They are omnipresent in our lives, from the branding posted on every street corner and bus stop, to our clocking on and clocking off for the company that pays our bills, to the TV we turn to to numb our minds after the daily grind. But the impact of corporations on our lives, societies, ecosystems and economies is strangely absent from mainstream cultural debate.

'This poem is sponsored by...' will be a world changing collection of poetry: a rich source of inspiration and insight to help us to take action.

The collection will be launched in Autumn 2006 to celebrate 10 years of Corporate Watch, the leading anti-corporate research group.

Submissions

We welcome writing from anyone in any creative form: poetry, prose, songs, lyrics.

Deadline for submissions: 1st July 2006

Please send your work to:

Poetry submissions,
Corporate Watch,
16b Cherwell Street,
Oxford, OX4 1BG
United Kingdom

You cannot have 'art for art's sake'. Art must do something.

Presumably, art in favour of the corporations would not really be at home at this event.

Unless it is of such great craftmanship that it breaks ice even at a gathering of people set in their opinions.

That would be interesting.
