where everyone is welcome : poems & songs inspired by American immigrants

"Home is a collection of thirty-four poems and twelve songs inspired by a diverse group of immigrants who have made significant contributions to the United States. From Yo-Yo Ma to Audrey Hepburn, Albert Einstein to Celia Cruz, these poems symbolize the many roads that lead to America, and which we expect will continue to converge to build the highways to our future." Also included is an audio disc with twelve accompanying musical pieces that serve as personal meditations on the essence of home.--Publisher information
