No. This is GOOD global warming; the kind that brings people together and kindles their spirits, then fans the flames of goodness and mercy and open-handed sharing that feeds as many as accept the gifts offered therein. This is a celebration of the gifts of words; words that greet lives and nestle in to create change.
Professor Emeritus of Hope College (Holland, MI), Jack Ridl, and friends and fellow poets, Mark Hiskes (Holland Christian High School English Teacher) and Kathleen Markland, are each celebrating the release of extraordinary poetry collections you will want to add to your own experience:
