New York based supporter Steve Bloom, who is a poet as well as an activist, has written a poem to celebrate and interrogate the occasion. International Viewpoint is one of a series of websites across the globe to participate in launching the work today. Websites in the USA, Britain, Sweden, Mauritius, Australia, India, South Africa, and Namibia are part of that process.
Lalit in Mauritius is translating “One Hundred Years” into Mauritian Kreol and organizing a reading in that language on October 8. There will also be a reading and book signing in New York City on November 12. [2]. The poem will be published in book form later in the month, and International Viewpoint will publish a review of the work at that time.
