Foreword by Jennifer Read Hawthorne #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor, Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul

We dream together. Write together. Celebrate together. The six of us -- Lisha Adela Garcia, Jennifer Read Hawthorne, Anna Kodama, Angie Minkin, Nancy Lee Melmon, and Suzanne Dudley -- are all students of Diane Frank, San Francisco poet, teacher, and founder of Blue Light Press. Our poems take us deeper, show us what we value, help us explore the themes of our lives. We write to understand ourselves better -- and to explain the world we live in. We write to understand how all beings connect, in this world and beyond. We write to celebrate what is good in the world and why we would like our planet to survive.
