Tasting the Stars

TASTING THE STARS is an extraordinary and timeous collection of poems arising from a devotional place, lived and from within the visionary tradition and philosophy of non-dual Tantra.

Tina Gonçalves' poetry glistens with emphatic and elemental inner and outer relationships drawing the reader into its meditative world through a precise and sensuous modulation of sound and space. Technically assured and balanced, her poems are suggestive, necessary and restorative. Treasure each word slowly and be calmed by them.

These poems are portals to guide you deep inside and beyond.

- Scott Murden, The Human Experience Coach

So beautiful. So vulnerable. So moving. Such a gorgeous journey. The internal, deliberate, and almost still movement seemed to float across from a sensuous, sensitive love to a love that finds its own two feet, and eventually embraces its own cosmic singularity.

- Anuraag Dhoundeyal, Composer & Classical Indian Vocalist

Each poem conjures a pause, a moment of reflection and beauty. I especially love that they serve as meditations in their own right - and engage and invite the reader to be still, to reflect and to breathe.

- Louise Anne Buchler, Director & Playwright
