Jewo’s Love & Lingua, from which this anthology’s title comes, is largely aspirational like many of the other poems in this anthology. This speaks to our nature as humans to always look beyond what is already known.

Why would a poet say, “Do not die in their wars,” when the world is still reeling from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the countless victims did not choose to be victims? This is a valid question, but the poet is right because war neither begins nor ends on its own.
Humans are the ones who start wars and, deliberately or unknowingly, create the conditions that eventually destroy them and other innocents.
