Peace Begins

The Loft’s Peace and Social Justice Writers Group is a Minneapolis community of reflective individuals, culture critics, and humble souls with a worldwide focus, who come together on a quest to raise awareness and promote understanding. Their chapbook, Peace Begins, represents the voices of this group which has been meeting since 2006.

The works in the chapbook—poetry, stories, memoir—embody the group’s mission, “to renew and maintain a sense of hope for the future” and express the radical idea that it is our job to love to the best of our ability what we have been given right now.
