Point No Point - Paperback

by Rachel L. Macaulay (Editor), Molly Mattfield Bennett (Author)

Point No Point is about people who live on the edges; who travel from place to place, at home nowhere; who wander through life's journey. It is about all of us who are outsiders, Pilgrims, immigrants, homeless people on the streets; Masai on the Serengeti; those who seek enlightenment. We are all outsiders. These poems dwell in paradox: with beauty amid horror that can change in an instant from one to the other; with the light that shines through pain; that daily the bush that shelters is on fire.
