Sounds of Solace, Meditative Verse is a collection of poetry from over 50 poets about meditation in its various forms. "People meditate in a variety of ways, from prayer to yoga stretches, from tai chi to repetitive mindless tasks. Even writing poetry can be an act of meditation; it can help clear the mind and bring about inner balance. While some of the pieces in this anthology are very explicitly about meditation, others are more subtle, while some are meditations themselves." ~ From The Foreword www.localgemspoetrypress.com
