toxic & tonic: poems of harm & healing

By Faith Lane

toxic & tonic: poems of harm and healing (2nd edition) is a collection of poetry written by a perpetual student of history, sociology, nature, and humanity.

In part i: toxic, the writer examines United States culture by the harms done to human beings and the earth in the name of patriarchy, religion, capitalism, racism, and endless wars. These poems are at times scalding, at times intensely personal, at times otherworldly.

In part ii: tonic, the tone shifts toward more healing and helpful ways to walk in this world.

As one reader noted, toxic & tonic is a Pandora's box. When opened, the ills and evils fly out to assail your senses... but behind all those rests a secret treasure: hope.
