Poetics of Peace - Vital Voices in Troubled Times

Alice Walker ~ Luis Rodriguez ~ Michael Meade ~ Jack Kornfield ~ Orland Bishop

A Poetics of Peace arises at this critical juncture in the course of American history, when the exercise and expression of freedom requires a renewal of free speech and a revival of the radical roots of imagination that can awaken the "other America," the one being dreamed in the land and in the diverse hearts and souls of its people.

Vital Voices is an effort to find radical medicines for an ailing culture through practices of peace and paths of purpose and returning learning to its sacred condition and poetic essence.

Alice Walker, Jack Kornfield, Luis Rodriguez, Orland Bishop, and Michael Meade offer each listener an invitation to "imaginative activism" and an active imagining of cultural change. Not rabble-rousing but raising the level of thought and deepening the feelings that can reveal the hidden America of vital diversity and genuine nobility.
