A poet is aware and awake to these responses. He/she when stirred by passion finds a soulful desire to record in creative language what the poet finds within the response. Beginning with the dedication, Jan Schomp presents a panorama of topics all the way from her first child's cry for God's milk to her own cry for universal peace.
