Description

The poems in this book examine peace from many perspectives. They are filled with the wonder and magic of everyday life. They also express the sorrow and loss that war and violence bring. They speak to the fear and frustration that one may not be able to do enough to assure peace. They find peace rooted in relationships to each other, to other living things and to the earth. In these poems one finds a burning desire to do more to heal wounded spirits and our wounded earth. These poems combine the mystery of creativity with a longing for peace.

“If you see the shadow of peace make sure to touch it,”

—Bryn Kass.

"The anthology you hold in your hands is a bow toward this kind of grace."

—Terry Tempest Williams, author of Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place
