Voice from Afar: Poems of Peace

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Susan Guevara. "The girl is dead. / Her life has flown off / like a sad little bird." Twenty-six poems set in war-torn areas decry the emotional, spiritual, and physical devastation war brings, concluding with pleas for peace. This well-intentioned effort is emotional and raw but accessible. Soft abstract images in acrylics and oils on textured canvas bring humanity and immediacy to the poems.
Reviewer: Aishah Abdul-Musawwir
