Foreword Has there ever been a time and people more in need of peace and healing? In this volume, the poets continue to manifest peace into the world through our words and actions. The 2026 Edition of World Healing, World Peace features poets, thinkers, and activists from all over the world. We care about our families, neighbors, and communities. We also understand the impact of words as they go out into the greater world and that each person is our neighbor.
Our neighbor is the youngest poet, a ten-year-old from India and the oldest whose eyes have seen nearly nine decades; and everyone in between. May the words of these wonderful poets bring you peace and a sense of understanding. May our words wrap you in a warm hug.
We occupy this world with over eight billion people. That is a lot of perspectives and needs. May we all see a way forward together.
