We takes an unapologetically spiritual stance in bridging politicized divides, exploring conscious and unconscious prejudices with lyricism, warmth, and self-implicating humor, how we are shaped by and create our nation by how we see ourselves and others.

The poems investigate what unites us; how the personal is political, and the political is personal; changing our perceptions to heal families, friendships, and country of incivility and villainization by practicing greater compassion; trying to see past egos to souls, as "We" suggests in conversation with Whitman: "I celebrate my being, every atom/of myself and you, lamp and mirror/of all that is"; in a new Preamble to the Constitution; and in the feminist "Peace Hymn for the Republic." We begins with a non-partisan vision of soul, and ends driving a rural road at dawn in "State of the Union Aubade," both paeans to our common divinity.
