Gathered Around the Fire of the Heart

Examines the sacredness of language from the early history of language, and how poetry from all times and cultures connects and heals. Describes the author's work in a poets-in-the-schools program and how the children's poems healed the heart of a Chumash Indian elder. Argues that poetry of all peoples can help to truly blend people, rather than separate them. (SR)
