100 poets against the war in its third edition

100 Poets against the war, the internet poetry anthology collected and published in less than one week, has brought out a second and a third edition.
The first edition of the anthology, published on 27 January, fuelled such interest that within another week, 100 Poets against the war redux was launched. The second version includes about twenty new poems, and has corrected some typos. Today, a third edition, 100 Poets against the war redux, has appeared. All different editions of 100 poets against the war are freely available from nthposition.com, where a full list of contributors can also be found.

The project is an initiative of Canadian-born poet Todd Swift, in collaboration with the British online magazine nthposition.com. They have called for readers to print out hard copies of the books and send them to George W. Bush and Tony Blair "as an act of peaceful postal poetry protest". On 14 February, a French language edition, 100 poètes contre la guerre, will be made available.
