Weaving the World

Weaving the World is a collection of over one hundred eclectic verses on a variety of themes people animals plants and nature. Themes throughout the sixteen chapters range from family marriage & friendship to community connections from race ethnicity & nationality to sexual & gender diversity from cross-cultural arts to diverse natural wonders from philosophy & psychology to science & spirituality. Several poems are odes/tributes to race rebels transgender activists and transformative spiritual teachers. A number of verses comprise protest poetry-advocating for equity and justice for Black Indigenous and people of colour for queer trans and two-spirit people and for enslaved farmed animals. Certain poems dance the dialectic between existential despair and the joy of life. The final flourish offers a set of life affirmations-heartfelt encouragements to fill the holes in our souls and help save our sanity in these dystopian times.
