Declarations on Freedom for Writers and Readers

'In these difficult times, PEN said the need to hear and understand each other is as vital as it ever was. PEN International has been campaigning for freedom of expression for almost 100 years.'

'This rich anthology won’t merely be relevant to the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, the poems and prose will remain relevant until humanity accepts the individual’s right to freedom. Sadly, thus, this book will remain relevant for many years to come.'

-- Liv Niven * Gitanjali and Beyond *

A brilliant collection. I particularly enjoyed the letters towards the end. An anthology that takes you deep into Scottish history, heritage, and culture, and then takes you across the world.

It is a celebration of freedom of expression - an assertion of our fundamental right to speak and to write, to read and to listen, to call power to account in the face of injustice.
