.looking In looking out- is an international anthology of seventy-seven poems and four short stories from writers across the globe. Their unique voices seek to explore and explain our multi-cultured, multi-viewed, and multi-lived lives through a myriad of perspectives and philosophies, in many varied forms, evoking emotion, providing entertainment, and hopefully, opening the readers’ eyes and minds.
Evans’ poems “Seedling,” “Kneeling Whispers of Desperate Wants,” and “Unspoken” are included in this anthology.
At once both heartwarming and heart-wrenching, Where the Light Gets In explores the alchemy of turning pain into purpose and finding beauty in the most painful and broken places.
Where the Light Gets In is a roadmap for anyone looking to discover their own unique gifts (hint: the pain points the way) and how to use them to transform their lives and the lives of others.
It’s an exponential return on investment that has very little to do with money.
