Poets around the world will gather on this date to demonstrate and celebrate poetry as a way to promote serious social, environmental and social change.  So far  there are 580 events confirmed for September 29th in 109 countries.  For more information, go to http://www.bigbridge.org/100thousandpoetsforchange/
