Welcome to the mainland: Sekou Sundiata & Naomi Shihab celebrate the cultures of today and the way those cultures have become part of the American mosaic. Love's confusing joy: Coleman Barks brings the poems of 13th century Islamic poet Jelaluddin Rumi to contemporary American audiences. The field of time: Sandra McPherson and Linda McCarriston exult in the beauty of love, family, and nature. Some can sing: Poetry's ability to bridge gaps and cross boundaries is highlighted in the works of Robert Hass, Claribel Alegría, and Carolyn Forché. Here in the mind: Gary Snyder and Daisy Zamora share the same weapon: the power of language. Swirl like a leaf: Through writing, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Robert Bly, and Marilyn Chin have all found routes to self discovery and personal reconciliation. The heart of things: Adrienne Rich, Victor Hernandez Cruz, and Michael S. Harper write poems which testify to their struggles against intolerance. Come celebrate with me: Lucille Clifton and David Mura bring their talent and humor to bear as they look at the past and the lives they live in America today.
