We

<p><strong>We takes an unapologetically spiritual stance in bridging politicized divides exploring conscious and unconscious prejudices with lyricism warmth and self-implicating humor how we are shaped by and create our nation by how we see ourselves and others.</strong> </p><p>The poems investigate what unites us; how the personal is political and the political is personal; changing our perceptions to heal families friendships and country of incivility and villainization by practicing greater compassion; trying to see past egos to souls as “We” suggests in conversation with Whitman: “I celebrate my being every atom/of myself and you lamp and mirror/of all that is”; in a new Preamble to the Constitution; and in the feminist “Peace Hymn for the Republic.” We begins with a non-partisan vision of soul and ends driving a rural road at dawn in “State of the Union Aubade” both paeans to our common divinity.</p>
