This is a book that will stay with me for life. Because it has changed me. Because it matters. Because it loved and saw my friend in a way I cannot. 

I come back to these poems over and over. I read them aloud. I pour over the pages, knowing that it’s an honor to hold the carefully chosen words as a witness. 

The anthology contains ten cycles, which are thematically arranged. The poems can be read in dialogue with one another--almost as though you, the reader, are sitting in a chair by a fireplace while the conversation extends deep into the night, grappling with the full complexity of history, politics, protests, and joy. 

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for a friend. Take it in at your own pace, and know that it will stir you. 

​
If you have read any of the books in our collection, and would like to start a conversation, please email Artistic Director, Gail Tierney at gail@thekaleidoscapes.org.
