Princeton, NJ Author Publishes Poetry Collection

Healing Love Poems for white supremacy culture, a new book by Roberto Schiraldi, has been released by RoseDog Books.

This is a collection of poetry and other works, about healing from the insidious disease of racism, through the greatest power in the universe —- Love. The poems and other writings are interwoven with the lessons of spirituality, nature, Native Wisdom, gratitude, and healing theory and strategies - all through a white male lens.

The poison of racism (at least in the U.S.), is caused by dwelling in a culture of white supremacy. "This culture of white supremacy is a system that founded this country and still runs it. It is a system of power, wealth and control—-where inferiority and superiority are based primarily on race"(from the introduction).

Understanding white supremacy cultural values helps us to see the hurtful impact on our common humanity. Using this clarity, along with a compassionate vision of courageous and loving action, provide a foundation for sustainable racial justice healing and change for us All.
