New nature writing of the most urgent and desperate sort. I'm not sure what we in America can do to aid Mr. Brathwaite directly, but it's heartening to see other poets rallying round him in his time of need. Perhaps someone will set up a means of donating money to his cause, although what it seems he really needs is direct political intervention, yesterday. What you can do is add your voice to the growing chorus by going to the site Tom Raworth has set up: save CowPastor! Speak up for the living before it's too late.
