In the struggle within and without, between war and love, poet Emanuel Kane wanders through the world of conflict and peace that defines our lives. From souls lost in the battlefield to children lost in times too quiet, the author uncovers the horror of humanity’s worst instincts and the redemption brought in the peace of home.

Praise for Emanuel Kane’s poetry:

The poems have a pleasing grace, a fierce urgency … a talented poet.

-Gwendolyn Brooks, Pulitzer Prize winning poet

[His] voice brings sanity and respect to our continent.

-Leonard Koza, South African poet, translator, and literary critic

Stylistic recitation of meaningful [and] … universal truths.

-Desire Grogan, District of Columbia Public Library

A brilliantly conceived poetic feast. The poet demonstrates a remarkable breadth of knowledge and a stirring imagination full of tropes and metaphors that truly make this a great book.

-Prof. Molefi K. Asante, Temple University, author of 87 books

Here is a poet of obvious high quality - a voice of pain and truth.

-Blyden Jackson, University of North Carolina

There is blood on many of the pages. It’s a reminder that the present is a dangerous place to live. [Kane] knows the beautiful ones have yet to be born.

  • E. Ethelbert Miller, Editor of Poet Lore magazine & Fulbright Scholar

This is poetry for the struggle for justice and peace.

-Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner
