Tears of Silence

Acclaimed as a man “who inspires the world” (Maclean's) and a “nation builder” (Globe and Mail), Jean Vanier has made a difference in the lives of countless people — including those with disabilities and the many people who have been moved by his life's work. Rereleased to commemorate the 50th anniversary of L’Arche Internationale, an international network of communities for people with developmental disabilities, Tears of Silence is an inspiring book of poems on the topics of alienation and belonging, featuring intimate, never-before-published black and white photographs from L’Arche communities around the world. This edition includes a new introduction by Jean Vanier and a foreword by author and education activist Parker Palmer.
