#Noussommesparis

Poetry. On November 13, 2015, a series of mass shootings erupted in Paris, killing many people and traumatising a nation. In this brief anthology, we commemorate the outpouring of support and empathy with the victims immediately after the attacks and attempt to recapture the collective, human response to the horror, prior to its use as a political tool. Ideally, these poems offer a way out of the vengeful cycle that acts of terror seek to inspire.
