P.K Page

Planet Earth
In 2000, Page was treated to a special honour when the United Nations chose her poem Planet Earth, inspired by four lines from a longer poem by Chilean writer Pablo Neruda, for its Dialogue Among Civilizations Through Poetry reading series.
The poem — which was the one she professed wanting to be remembered for — was read at locations around the globe considered "international ground," including the United Nations, Mount Everest and Antarctica.
