The Gift of Peace

This little book will introduce you to the remarkable way that Rama Mani and Bill Kelly weave poetry and art into a powerful rope that draws us to new insights. Engage with it, and be moved. Lord John Alderdice, Co-Founder & Director of the Centre for the Resolution of Intractable Conflict, University of Oxford, former Leader of the Alliance Party and peace negotiator at the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland. Bill Kelly and Rama Mani offer a grand treat for the soul of all peace-lovers... and demonstrate how poetry, art and storytelling can, at times, better contribute to conflict resolution challenges than weighty text books. Professor Kalypso Nicolaidis, Director of the Centre for International Studies, University of Oxford, former Chair, International Group of Advisors on the Convention for the Future of Europe
