"Rage :: Hope materialized when a poet saw an artist's drawings and responded with poems and the artist read the poems and responded with drawings. What emerged was a stunning collaboration of affinities as the poet and artist addressed in words and drawing media the turbulent issues of male-to-male rage with its underlying levels of submerged vulnerability and its repercussions on women and men alike. The resulting poems and drawings demonstrate how art forms can explore and express harsh truths as they lead us to hope."
