Shards | Poetic insights by James E. Jennings

BRUSSELS - Dec. 30, 2025 - PRLog -- Shards reveals fragmentary insights through cosmopolitan poems that are by turns existential, philosophical, and passionate. Many record incidents the author encountered while responding to emergencies or working in hospitals and refugee camps. Others are protests on war as witnessed from the battlefields, along with reflections on human folly, wastage, and insensitivity. The contents vary from whimsical to introspective, with the effect of an undulating landscape of probing themes, all about humane values in the search for meaning.

Dr. James Jennings taught university classes in Archaeology and Ancient Languages while leading the first American expedition to the pyramids of Giza following Egyptian independence. He now leads volunteer doctors, nurses, and humanitarian aid workers scrambling onto helicopters, cargo planes, rented trucks, and sometimes camels, to reach far-flung refugee camps in places like Darfur and Kashmir, bringing aid to victims of wars, earthquakes, and natural disasters. As Founder of Conscience International and Director of US Academics for Peace conferences in Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Sudan, he has met with presidents and kings, often being featured on television in the US and abroad.
