Fields of Vision Eileen Fox Wasser

A passionate humanitarian, author Eileen Fox Wasser's compassion, warmth, and hope for a better world shine in Fields of Vision, a collection of her insightful, thought-provoking poems.



A constant advocate of the ordinary people who are easily overlooked and pushed aside by society, Wasser's verses address civil rights, call for social and political change, and examine the common human experiences that connect us to each other.



Wasser looked to the greats for inspiration and guidance, including Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and deeply respected the many unsung heroes who live every day with integrity and honor. Poems such as "We Shall Overcome," "Rings," "Camp Art," and "The Pendulum" convey her admiration for the courageous revolutionaries and adventurers who have championed their own rights and the rights of humankind.



Volunteering at shelters and hotlines whenever she could, Wasser's experience as a single parent influenced her perspective on dreams, love, family, poverty, homelessness, the disabled, the environment, and the elderly, as evidenced in "Rainy Day," "Poor Folk," "Old Love," "Anthem," and "Dusk."



Published after her death in 2011, Fields of Vision is an inspiring, uplifting, and encouraging volume, showcasing a remarkable, humble woman's unique voice, strength, spirit, and genuine love for others.
