Poem by William Stafford
A Ritual to Read to Each Other was created as my reaction against the US/Iraq and Afghanistan war. The woodcut image that makes up the tunnel structure was originally titled, “Peace Inside the Noise.” This book serves as a reminder to rely on community and cooperation in support of harmony and peace.
