This anthology features poems by Mark Doty, Ross Gay, Donald Hall, Marie Howe, Naomi Shihab Nye and many others. These poets, from all over America, prove to us the possibility of creating in our lives what Dr. Martin Luther King called the "beloved community," a place where we see each other as neighbors. "Healing the Divide" urges us, at this fraught time, to move past the negativity that fills the airwaves, and to embrace the ordinary moments of kindness and connection that fill our days.
