A new international poetry collection featuring 46 poems by 28 poets

Emerging from the Global Pandemic, it is essential to remember many things, one of which is, we are all human - one people, one race, one world. This anthology focuses on that humanity, collecting together an international group of poets exploring human connections, learning from the past, living for the present, and hoping for the future.

Human to Human is an anthology of poetry which seeks human connection, from the individual, delving into personal relationships - friends, family, love, community - to the global, the social issues of our day, the big questions, what could be termed the zeitgeist: how society creaks and cracks but ultimately survives.

The poets of Human to Human are:
Alice Eluned, Beverly Joyce, Brenda Gunn, Caitlin Mitchel-Markley, CC Pulliam, Cigeng Zhang, Don Carroll, Ed Ruzicka, Ellaraine Lockie, Emily R. Daniel, EP Jones, Gerald Dampier, Hannah Walizer, Heather MF Lyke, John Davis, John Laue,
Karin Spitfire, Kathryn Eberley, Kelly-Jo Lomas, Kewayne Wadley, Lynne Zotalis, LynneAnne Forest, Madeline Heit Lipton, Mariangela Canzi, Neetu Malik, R.J. Keeler, Trevor Maynard, and Yvonne Peters

Two poems were selected to receive awards of $125 each.
Fixed to the Spot by EP Jones
"A powerful evocation of the lack of power suffered by many in domestic violence."
But Will You Think of Me? by Yvonne Peters
"A celebration of the absolute joy of love, counterpointed, in the title, by a single, nagging, ephemeral, doubt: illustrating both the permanence and the transience of human connection."

Many thanks to all who shared their work, and best wishes for the future.

We hope you buy our anthology, and if you do, please leave a review, tell all your friends and family, and spread the word far and wide - this is poetry of human connection - let's connect with everyone everywhere.
