Sometimes talking to each other can be the best route to finding what makes each life and all of the earth worth saving. This book is about why a woman from a generation that welcomed the atom bomb to end one war would forty years later decide on something very different in hoping to prevent another war.
These poems were written to be read aloud, originally between the six movements of a Bach suite played by David B. Freed, recent First Cellist, Utah Symphony Orchestra.
