Synopsis
"American poet Karen Eberhardt Shelton and British poet Jay Ramsay send out a vital message about how to connect across great divides in this collaboration designed to touch hearts, awaken perceptions, and move people to action. The poets' contrasting styles complement each other to great effect, as Shelton draws her inspiration from nature while Ramsay has a vision of the world at the edge that is sharp, unremitting, yet celebratory. Writing in the wake of 9/11, both poets believe in using poetry as a means of confronting the ethical and spiritual dilemmas that color a personÆs impact on the world. Skillfully weaving personal reflective poems with poems inspired by public events, Ramsay and Eberhardt Shelton create a powerful collection that addresses the questions that have been asked since the destruction of the Twin Towers."
