In twenty-eight poems of various formats, Hines looks at peace from many angles. Her imagery is inventive--"Season with forgiveness. / Simmer in a sauce of respect"--and she uses words sparingly: the poem "Peace Is" simply states, "when all / of them / are us." Intricate quilts illustrating the verses are, in equal measure, soothing and elegant. Brief bios of famous "peacemakers" are appended.
