Naming the Names by Janice D. Soderling (Kultivera förlag) has the under title Some Poems about Violence. These poems consider the many kinds of violence humans perpetuate against one other -- from the Greek siege of Troy to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from the violence of poets, police and politicians to economic violence preceding the Industrial Revolution and after it. There is also satire, meditation, even a drinking song and rules for the game. Most of these poems have first appeared in print and online literary journals such as Eclectica, One Art, Rattle, Mezzo Cammin (USA); Magma, Orbis, Lighten Up Online (UK); Malahat Review (Canada). Some have found their way into anthologies. A few are presented here for the first time. Janice D. Soderling was for many years Associate Poetry Editor at Able Muse.
