Stealing Peace
expresses the pain and
frustration of living in
a world plagued by
racism and suggests
that the
existence of
racism impedes
upon achieving
world peace.
Throughout the book
Ms. Allison sprinkles very warm
passionate love poems. The poetry in Stealing
Peace is gentle yet strong and powerful. Jewel
Allison is a new voice that is sure to find a
place in the hollows of your mind.
Her poems are pungent, creative and alluring.
Her writings allow you to visit paradoxes and
ironies in our society, as well as the enduring
beauty of our culture. Jewel’s poems unveil
the not so obvious and unmask that which is
painfully true.
Stealing Peace provides a mirror through
which we can reflect and correct the errors of
our ways as a society. This book also fosters a
great appreciation for the contributions of
people of African descent and the gifts they
possess as a people. This release guarantees an
exciting read.
