I am proud to announce that WGTW TV Channel 48 from Philadelphia has invited Hillol Ray (HR), the Poetry Prince, for a live appearance on their program on April 23, 2004 @ 2:00 PM. During his appearance at the show, the primary discussions will revolve around: Hillol’s recent invited participation as a keynote speaker and selection of his own poems in Earth Day 2004 Event in Philadelphia (April 20, 2004); the changes of topics and styles in his poetry writing since his early days; professional activities related to his educational background as an Environmental Engineer; his didactic poems on Human Rights (HR) and Environmental Awareness issues, followed by his current and future planned activities.

Earth Day 2004 Debut of Hillol Ray’s Poetry CD: “Glimpse of Poems on Environmental Themes” By James Butler
Over the past several decades, Hillol Ray, the Poet of Ecology, has created global awareness through his numerous didactic poems on biodiversity and environmental issues. Without question, he has dedicated his entire life to solving the problems of ecology and environment. He became an overnight sensation through his infamous poem “Earth Day”, composed on April 22, 1995 to commemorate the 25th Silver Jubilee of Earth Day celebration, and since then, it has been published in many magazines, adapted by the U.S. Scouting Service, and continues to be displayed on many web sites each year around the world. Recently he has taken another approach to create awareness for the protection of Mother Earth from the perils of environmental degradations by selecting own poems, taped on his own voice-recorded CD. It will debut on the occasion of Earth Day 2004 celebration in Philadelphia, U.S.A, under the title: “Glimpse of Poems on Environmental Themes” and will be released. on April 20, 2004 by JB Productions, Inc. of Dallas, Texas. This CD will provide the listeners with an opportunity to hear the poetic voice, embedded in various light music in the background of each poem, and enchant their inner soul worried about the creation of a sustainable planet.
