 James E. Jennings | CaravansaryBy: Aquillrelle Sages and singers say Planets govern by omnipotence Empires rise, tyrants fall away. Abandoning a past we cannot hide We cast our horoscopes in sand Determined this time to succeed Our hopes are ever grand. James E. Jennings is a humanitarian activist and peace advocate who has led disaster responses to refugee camps and hospitals in more than fifty countries. He founded Conscience International in 1991 and US Academics for Peace in 2003, leading peace conferences at universities in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan. Formerly a Professor of Middle Eastern Archaeology and History, he served as Field Archaeologist in Jordan, Israel, Iraq, and at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. He is the author of four books of poetry: From the Land of Nod, Shards, Trail of Tears and Caravansary. Caravansary explores age-old themes of wandering, displacement, and personal identity amid the challenges of modernity. Its poems range geographically from Central Asia to West Africa but primarily reflect experiences drawn from the changing Middle East as well as today's global village. The book's episodes and memoirs stretch chronologically from the long-ago days of caravan trade and tribal migration up to the present and into an obscure future.
