TEN POEMS OF KINDNESS (CANDLESTICK PRESS)

Kindness is a word that we use most often in our conversations with young children when we tell them to be kind to a fellow creature or a new friend. These generous poems remind us that kindness can take many forms and that a kind gesture doesn’t have to be either time-consuming or complicated. On the contrary: “Sometimes a sober voice is enough/ to calm the waters and drive away/ the false witnesses” - Yusef Komunyakaa.
