Encounter: Poems of Engagement

Esther Elizabeth worked with Mother Teresa in India, Sr. Helen Prejean, and Desmond Tutu. She held the protest line at the School of Americas with Pete Seeger and Martin Sheen, stood at the gates of The Citadel with Daniel Berrigan, and has a healthy arrest record from seeking right-action, speaking truth to power. The poems in this book tell of deep human encounters with inmates, homeless souls, children, and other quiet heroes of honesty and dignity.
