Hand to Hand, Heart to Heart

In 2004, the Arts & Spirituality Center and We the Poets (then the Interfaith Youth Poetry Project) reached out to the global community in our first international collaboration.  Starting with the belief that poetry can reach around the world and establish strong bonds between people, this project collected poems from students around the world, which have been published in a small journal.

Praise from readers of Hand to Hand, Heart to Heart...

~This collaboration has fulfilled its name and linked hearts, hands, and voices from around our beautiful and fragile planet.

~These poems are fresh water for me.  These poems are bridges that span the meaning between truths.  These poems, through the young people who write them, offer us a future.

~In our hands is a bouquet of strength and hope that we are headed in the right direction...[using] imagination and creativity to unlatch the hearts of children and touch us profoundly.

Purchase your copy of Hand to Hand, Heart to Heart for $10 each (or 2 for $15), plus postage.
