Freedom on the Fault Line Lilija Valis

Freedom on the Fault Line explores humanity's mind, soul and heart, its ideals and actions, consequences and repercussions, heights and depths. A rare combination of fierce intelligence, sly wit, gracious compassion and lucid lyricism, these poems are mature works that express the complexity of preserving integrity in a world of struggle and violence. "Searching explorations into both soul and society. Wise and probing...incisive, challenging.... The eyes of the soul will be cleansed and see differently." ~ Ron Dart, author and professor of Political Science, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at University of the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada. "Brilliant collection -- co-oriented and full of ironic humour.... a thinking person's book." ~ Bernice Lever, prize winning poet, college instructor (Atkinson College, York University, Ontario, Canada). "This book is a collection of beautifully crafted pieces that leave an indelible mark in the mind of the reader. This is an important work. The spirit of freedom is universal. These poems are a gift to those who have fought, are fighting, and will fight for freedom." ~ Lucia Gorea, PhD, award-winning international poet, Vancouver, Canada.
