Peattie gathered poems from well-known poets, offering a rich collection that aims to inspire and uplift readers through the beauty of verse. The anthology starts with an introduction that highlights how important it is to take time each day to feed your "inner life" with poetry, quoting Professor Charles Eliot Norton on its healing abilities.
