Contemplating Virtue

Contemplating Virtue is a book of tanka verse which shares the poet's understanding of the importance of virtues in real life. To understand right from wrong, people must understand the difference between good and bad. At this point in time when the world appears to grow more dangerous and chaotic every day, the virtues are a reminder that no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. With the help of virtues, everyone can live a good life, helping others along the way and taking solace from the simple fact of being alive.

This book is the third of Noela McNamara's little books of tanka verse. This anthology contains tanka verse related to the virtues of Compassion, Faith, Integrity, Benevolence, Truth and Courage.
