In celebration of more than 70 authors and 65 projects, we have curated this wonderful collection of writers with vast yet common experiences from homelands worldwide. The poetry and prose to follow moved and inspired us and demanded to be published.
We begin this collection with poetic voices from the United Kingdom, India, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and Zimbabwe. Sharing cultural diversity yet common themes and a sense of oneness within those struggles. The verse is endearing and thought-provoking.
Next, we have some excellent short stories from Canada and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with diverse themes pulling visions of several countries far away and in-depth imagery of war, addiction, and trauma on an insightful and compassionate platter. You will be disturbed and filled with empathy. You will find yourself wondering and caring about the people you have encountered in these stories. We hope you will be forever changed by the interaction with the work of these fantastic authors.
Following that, you will find information regarding StandUpToCancer.ca, the charity that will receive all royalty proceeds from purchases of this book.
