Spirit of Humanity - Poetic Visions of a Better World
Spirit of Humanity - Poetic Visions of a Better World

Anthologies can sometimes be a mixed bag--this one is a surprisingly good read throughout! Seventy-one poets, established or emerging but all with individual voices, share glimpses into some universal themes peppered by flashes of unexpected wording or brazen insights. The poems range in emotion, sometimes disheartened, other times exalted, but all of them thought-provoking.

Editor Tracy Lynn Repchuk, founder and President of the Canadian Federation of Poets, has done an exceptional job of gathering well-crafted works, and the book has a certain heft which puts it into a “real book” category beyond the usual slim chapbook.

Carol Worthey is represented by her soaring and ironic tribute to the power of music, “Rain Oh Music Reign”, the final poem in the anthology.

Intriguing and attractive paintings, drawings and photographs are scattered throughout to create visual interest. If you enjoy the art of poetry and are hoping to discover contemporary poets who do more than rant, add this to your library.
