Laurie Kuntz’s unique world view is showcased in this collection of powerful lyric narrative poems. As a true wordsmith, Kuntz’s artistry in “Shelter in Place” illustrates numinous reverence for the natural world, for family in all its iterations. for justice and for connection. The poet reminds the reader that we are part of the human family, and her often bittersweet work urges us to find a means of understanding and compassion for “the other.” At the heart of each poem in “Shelter in Place” is a call to action and to collective healing. These poems are an antidote to what ails us. Always a teacher, activist, and advocate, her finely crafted poems in “Shelter in Place” transcend any perceived notion of separation between people, geopolitical borders, and boundaries.
