Taking the Arrow out of the Heart
From a poem about the author's love of Mexico, to poems about hope, about the need not to despair in the face of political 'feet of clay', to a homage to Martin Luther King, these are poems that are both inspirational and meditative, reasserting the power of the individual to effect change. They reject racism, warmongering, small-mindedness and cruelty in favour of a politics of hope.
