Poetry and artistic expression used for healing and restoration has been common since ancient times. From primitive chants used during healing ceremonies to the modern recognition of art’s relationship to healing by great figures in the world of medicine, acknowledgment of its value is unmistakable. This anthology of poetry aims to aid in the healing and restoration of both its contributors and readers. In the words of Freud, “Not I, but the poet discovered the unconscious.”
Soni, a physically and mentally challenged child in Haiti spent years confined to his crib until one day some street children took over the operation of the orphanage.

When I started writing Beautiful You, the title poem itself started to take on an image of strength. From the first line to the last, it demonstrates strength and hope in the midst of pain and disappointment: I look into your eyes Beyond a million tears To see you begging To rid you of your fears I want the first four lines to demonstrate that even though there is pain in whatever personal difficulties one faces that, in those tear filled eyes, there is a lot of hope. There is hope that you will get over whatever fear or difficulty you may face. I have always believed that tears are powerful healers. They help to release your emotions and sometimes helps you sort through things. I look at your mouth Beyond a tired frown To see you wondering When you’ll wear your crown When I see people who are down about the mouth, I know how tired they must feel. When you are awake and thriving and feeling great it is so easy to smile. I heard somewhere once that it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile. It takes more muscles to produce a frown than it does a smile! Frowning takes more energy so it makes you feel tired. Therefore, when I think of things that give me a hard time, I always try to remember that there are millions of other people out there with problems worse than what I have. It makes it easier for me to smile. Think about it: Next time you smile, notice that you hold yourself a little higher, stand a little taller. It changes the atmosphere around your being. I look into your heart Beyond its breaking beats To see you asking If you can endure the heat I feel that as long as my heart is beating, no matter how difficult the issue, I can get through anything. The heart is such a powerful muscle that it can help you power through any problem. Dedication and determination help make the heart stronger and the fight to power through your problems a little easier. I look at your hands Beyond their aching joints To see them praying Your anguished mind to anoint What do millions of people do everyday that gives them strength? Pray. I heard someone close to me say, at one point, she prayed so hard and so much her hands ached to keep them folded in prayer anymore! I knew how much she was relying on the power of faith to help heal her. How much more strong or beautiful can you get than that? No amount of words I write could ever demonstrate how powerful that is. I look into your soul Beyond its hopeful feeling To see you anticipating Its eventual healing In one’s belief you can get through difficulties, you tell yourself that it is only a matter of time before things improve. Time heals all wounds. If you believe that, as I have at certain times, you will see that with family, friends and a supportive network that healing can begin quickly and be softened by that love and support; it can be likened to a blanket that keeps you warm when the world is feeling cold. I look into All these parts of you And see nothing less Than beautiful you In the final four lines of Beautiful You, when you look at a being that is full of love, faith, determination and strength you find a beautiful person who uses all those characteristics to bring themselves through tough times. When I wrote this poem, as I point out in my introduction, I and several of my friends faced some difficult problems and or decisions. I felt that inner strength is what brought us all through our respective problems and allowed us to apply the lessons learned and strength gained to the future. I know I look back on what I had gone through and can proudly say to myself, ‘I guess I was stronger than I knew’. It was an incredible experience to write this second book. So much of it is me

Working with parents is a significant aspect of educators’ roles, yet it is rare to find curriculum in teacher education programs designed to prepare individuals to consider, in philosophical, theoretical, and pedagogical ways, who they will be in relationship with parents and why. Schools, therefore, remain hierarchical structures in which parents are marginalized in relation to decisions affecting teaching and learning. This book begins with Pushor’s conceptualization of a “curriculum of parents,” a curriculum which explores beliefs and assumptions about parents, a vision for education in which educators work alongside parents and family members in the learning and care of children, and a desire for reform. She describes a curriculum of parents, in the form of three graduate teacher education courses, which she lived out in relationship with students. Graduate students then capture their experiences immersed in this curriculum – what they each took up, how it shaped their knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and how they lived it out as they returned to their classrooms, schools, and early learning centres. This book is a storied account of their intense immersion in a curriculum of parents and the resulting impact living that curriculum has had on who they are in relation to parents and families. It is an honest and vulnerable account of their shared and individual journeys. They puzzle over the complexities and the successes of their work and the resulting impact. This is not a book of best practice, but an invitation to other educators to consider, as they did, what they do and how it could be different.

This book of photographs and poems was inspired by the profound beauty that exists in the natural world. The earth is a magnificent place. I hope this collection of pictures and poems inspires people to slow down a little and take notice of all that the earth has to offer. I feel very strongly that the more you love or appreciate something or someone the more likely you are going to want to care for it.
