Sinossi

 This anthology brings before you impressions of war, its impact, lasting loss, and pain from poets around the world. It is only befitting that we talk about it before it is too late as our world dwindles into nothing. Asking questions about ethics, responsibility, and action, this collection seeks to touch a chord with those who watch the world with horror in these tensions of war. Despite our history, we are still not over with our greed. We still do not learn what it is to live and love in peace. The editors of this collection welcome you, dear reader, to get a glimpse of these worlds. We hope this work will touch your souls and make you one with them and push you to contribute to the eradication of war in your ways  .

Stained Glass Silence

Apollo Spencer

This is a book of poetry and it starts in smoke, then moves back and forth between this world and the next, delivering bottled messages of your sins and mine. It blesses the water, dreams of sanctuary and pens poetry of tenacity and grit. It moves through time, communes with spirits long since past and plays hopscotch in rhyme formation. It scrawls in the margins. It kisses the flowers in spring and makes mirrored images of your fellow man. It's honest in its blasphemy, bold in its audacity and ends in a place like home.
