Ray and Bly cofounded the group American Writers Against the Vietnam War and co-edited “A Poetry Reading Against the Vietnam War.”Ray wrote countless letters to newspapers and spoke on radio against war, racial discrimination and other matters. I write nearly every day to the so-far unmovable U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall and Sen. Jerry Moran. The least we writers can do is write. Write to everyone you can think of to express your opinions and outrage. Write poems, directly political poems or otherwise sincere and honest on any topic.
