Reverence For Relationships: Poems About The Self, The Community, & The Other
As humans, we are relational beings. Most obviously, we develop and rely on relationships with others (e.g., family, friends, or work associates), creating a sense of community.

Who are we if not a compilation of who and what we choose to surround ourselves with?
