In the Hour of Awakening, Joanne Monte brings her advocacy for social justice and human rights issues to light in many of her award-winning poems, ranging in themes of war, genocide, and crimes against humanity. These human rights abuses and horrors, suffered, and told to her, by members of her own family, are just as relevant today. What we discover in reading these poems is how the past can connect us to the present, how it can give us a glimpse into the future so that we can gain an understanding of our common humanity and our world.
There's a keen sense of urgency in Monte's words-treat yourself and open the pages to this glittering new collection of poems and join her as she listens for the singing on the other side of the wall. You won't be disappointed.
-JOHN BARGOWSKI, author of American Chestnut
Joanne Monte reveals her powerful poetic skill to make readers feel for those caught in the chaos of war....How truly Monte portrays our common humanity, our hope for joyous singing. She is a soulful poet who understands well our struggle to gain a world of peace in which our spirit can thrive.
-DANIELA GIOSEFFI, poet, critic, American Book Award winning author
