Overview

Welling Up is the first anthology composed of poems submitted to Palewell Press, with selection based on our core values of Justice, Equality and Sustainability. Twenty-eight contributors write on the Refugee Crisis, Human Rights, War, Global Warming, Species Extinction, and Nature. At few moments in human history has any society had enough resources and a sufficiently developed sense of fairness so that none of its members felt excluded or short-changed. But now, due to climate change, the natural world's resources on which our safety and happiness depend are more threatened than ever. To have any hope of delivering Justice and Equality to the world's citizens, including refugees and displaced people, and also protection to other, increasingly endangered, species, we need to collaborate towards Environmental Sustainability.

From Fortaleza de Sagres in Portugal where, Out on the edge of Europe the great fort squats / brooding in the heat, to generations of forgotten women drawing water from a well in Africa, twenty-eight poets share compassion and anger on the problems facing marginalised and displaced people. There's tenderness too as they recall faces from the past: I touch / the hand so ready to engage, to show / how love should be and how to let it go. Palewell Press believes literature can help to deliver positive social change. To achieve greater justice and equality we also need environmental sustainability and the fifth section looks at Global Warming. Ultimately, though, we can only protect elements of our world that we're able to describe effectively. Welling Up concludes with lyrical hymns to Nature and her hidden streams / where your heart / sits up, awake at last, / to pay attention.
