Reviews

"This book is lovely, instructive, thought-provoking, and occasionally hard to read for all the right reasons. These stories, poems, plays, and graphic artwork are deeply important. Study these works, and you can learn an enormous amount of beneficial knowledge. I also loved the introductory essay and the questions at the end about how to create the best possible future we can make going forward."--Helen Thorpe, author of The Newcomers, Soldier Girls and Just Like Us
"We Can See into Another Place is an extraordinary volume of literary work that spans the arc of genres...the caliber of writing drew me in so I sat down and spent the next two days reading...open the cover and begin and you'll be conscience of your perspectives on the world and society and people changing, giving you a sharper, deeper wisdom and greater love for being alive. This book challenges you to change, to grow, to embrace the other....A treasure for all of us."--Jimmy Santiago Baca, author of A Place to Stand and No Enemies
