Poetry evokes our deepest fears, sorrows and secrets, the horrors beyond words and the humiliations and indignities that scar the soul. Yet poetry also records the celebration of joy and the beauties of life, expresses the will to survive, to triumph, and to transform both ourselves and our world. This collection of poetry does all of this, in poems about war and injustice; poems about celebrating life; poems about protests; and poems to be used in rallies. Including poets such as Daniel Berrigan, Barbara Kingsolver, Wendell Berry, Lucille Clifton, Martin Espada, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Alice Walker, this anthology can be used as a great resource for peacemaking and justice-seeking, in personal meditation or reflection, at prayer services or rallies, in small groups or in meetings. And this collection makes a marvelous gift for any occasion!
