Annan releases book on world poetry

NEW YORK, NOV. 27. An anthology of poems, including from India, edited by the Indian Ambassador to the United Nations, Mr. Kamlesh Sharma, has been released by the U.N. Secretary-General, Mr. Kofi Annan, to mark the end of the millennium year.

The book Mille fleurs - poetry from around the world which was released on Monday brings out the cultural diversity and unity of human values, yearning for peace and horrors of war, value of forgiveness and call to fight for freedom fearlessly and seems to be a rendering of the agenda that world leaders had set for themselves.
