Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry demonstrates the ability of social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Google+ to help make positive and inspiring differences in 21st-century life. It was through social media that the quote which prompted the composition of the book has practically grown into a self-empowerment movement which has helped to stimulate a stronger regard for individual self-worth, and life as a whole, in an era too often defined by mass shootings, ceaseless wars, and chronic depression.
Journey through the Power of the Rainbow, Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry, is a very 21st century kind of book for the story it tells about how a single quote’s viral impact quietly grew into an inspiring self-empowerment movement. At the same time, it is a literary collection and sourcebook of readings from one of contemporary literature’s most versatile authors.
The volume is comprised of an introductory essay on how social media and some of its most famous users, such as LL Cool J and Hill Harper, helped turn a simple haiku into a rallying cry for personal integrity, as well as numerous quotes on subjects ranging from creativity and war to Barack Obama and Michael Jackson, a highly original “Tao of the Rainbow,” and a comprehensive index.
Excerpt
“Journey through the Power of the Rainbow represents a condensed compendium of literary efforts from a life dedicated to transforming the themes of injustice, grief, and despair that we all encounter during some unavoidable point of our existence into a sustainable life-affirming poetics of passionate creativity, empowered spiritual vision, and inspired commitment.”
