We also continue to observe National Military Appreciation Month. Of the people in the US, only 1 percent are actively serving and only about 6 percent are veterans, which means a majority of Americans have a remove from the realities of war and military life. Consequence Forum exists to inform our citizenry through art and literature of the experiences of war and geopolitical violence, the realities that too often are known only by the soldiers, the witnesses, and the refugees of conflict.

One compelling example of such literature is found in a recent publication in our substack: Hila Ratzabi’s poem “They Asked Us to Imagine Peace.”
