Freedom on the Fault Line - by Lilija Valis (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Freedom on the Fault Line explores humanity's mind, soul and heart, its ideals and actions, consequences and repercussions, heights and depths. A rare combination of fierce intelligence, sly wit, gracious compassion and lucid lyricism, these poems are mature works that express the complexity of preserving integrity in a world of struggle and violence. "Searching explorations into both soul and society. Wise and probing...incisive, challenging.... The eyes of the soul will be cleansed and see differently." Ron Dart, author and professor of Political Science, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at University of the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada. "Brilliant collection -- co-oriented and full of ironic humour.... a thinking person's book." Bernice Lever, prize winning poet, college instructor (Atkinson College, York University, Ontario, Canada). "This book is a collection of beautifully crafted pieces that leave an indelible mark in the mind of the reader. This is an important work. The spirit of freedom is universal. These poems are a gift to those who have fought, are fighting, and will fight for freedom." Lucia Gorea, PhD, award-winning international poet, Vancouver, Canada.
