Schmitt Jr, vice-president; and Ms. Stacey Mia, vice-president for granting me the privilege and honor to share my viewpoints as a psychiatrist to the poets of the world touching on communications that hope to elucidate its theme of fostering values of life, peace, and brotherhood; to Sr. Nancy Fahey who provided the impetus for this work; to Fr. Jim Anderson for his encouragement and support; to Brother James Lonon for assistance in acquiring materials; to my son Anthony for his technological expertise, cinematography and production; and to my wife Lee for helping me to meet the challenge and provide the stimulation I needed.
