Campaign for Love and Forgiveness
Love and Forgiveness, the title of this body of work, was sponsored by the Fetzer Institute. The essays and poems included here were written by a group of thirteen writers who participated in a three-month online writing workshop project with AWWP mentors trained on the themes.

He loves the one who is in love.
