The text is from Psalm 60 and three poems from the collection Poems from Guantanamo, written by current and former detainees at Guantanamo Bay.
'The poems in this collection were written against enormous odds. The men detained in Guantanamo Bay are routinely held in solitary confinement, condemned without a fair trial, many of them tortured. Through it all, some have taken sanctuary in poetry and through [these poems] we hear their voices and glimpse their innermost feelings. Their poems are a remarkable and moving testament to the power of the human spirit.'
Kate Allen, Director, Amnesty International UK
Faure: Requiem
