in march 2020, we decided that we would each write one poem a day for every day in april 2020 in honour of national poetry month.you may recall that period was considered the height of the lockdown in many places in north america- no one out on the streets, no one travelling to work or school. i stayed inside, along with my person and my cat, in a very tiny apartment. i worked from home. i had zoom meetings. i played scrabble with my person. (cat dislikes playing scrabble, so i knew it was pointless to ask her to join in). i banged on pots and pans every night at 7 pm in support of front-line workers who were risking their lives to keep the rest of us fed and as healthy as possible. along the way, i wrote 30 poems in 30 days. some are very obviously "covid poems". others are poems written during covid (rather than poems about covid). as i have worked on assembling this collection, i notice that all the poems have certainly impacted by the stillness, quiet, and terrifying peacefulness of those weeks. what bubbles to the surface when you coop up a poet during a pandemic? they think about things, drilling deeper ever deeper into themselves. this book contains some of the results.

In celebration of more than 70 authors and 65 projects, we have curated this wonderful collection of writers with vast yet common experiences from homelands worldwide. The poetry and prose to follow moved and inspired us and demanded to be published. We begin this collection with poetic voices from the United Kingdom, India, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and Zimbabwe. Sharing cultural diversity yet common themes and a sense of oneness within those struggles. The verse is endearing and thought-provoking. Next, we have some excellent short stories from Canada and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with diverse themes pulling visions of several countries far away and in-depth imagery of war, addiction, and trauma on an insightful and compassionate platter. You will be disturbed and filled with empathy. You will find yourself wondering and caring about the people you have encountered in these stories. We hope you will be forever changed by the interaction with the work of these fantastic authors. Following that, you will find information regarding StandUpToCancer.ca, the charity that will receive all royalty proceeds from purchases of this book.

It doesn't seem to matter what he does; the school is out to get him, but why?It's not until the dark figure tries to kill him that he realizes he has to solve the mystery of the missing boys to understand why he is a target.

People in our modern Western culture search for happiness with unrelenting dedication. Despite that search, suffering persists due to our way of living: high levels of illness, depression, addictions, suicide, violence and the destruction of the natural world through climate change. We seek happiness desperately but are not finding it.The seventeen stories that comprise this book are my attempts to uncover, in various ways, why our seeking is so futile and how this syndrome can be transformed. The fundamental problem is not complex. We look for fulfillment in every way imaginable outside of the resources of our spiritual nature. In reality, we do not have to seek happiness because happiness is already present at the core of our own being--waiting patiently for us to wake up.
