In Wild Violet Shrine

This rare collection of poems is a symbolic gesture towards healing and wholeness taking place within a shrine of poetry. The poems are a song sung to the Self at certain points of injury where the tributaries of the poet's personal pain flow into the river of collective wounding, where the dream-self meets the waking-self, where the ancestral meets the unborn.

She is healing the past to stabilize the present and future with more light." - Malidoma Patrice Some///
"Exquisite shrine of poetry...beauty in action...unforgettable images...astonishing meditations." - Anya Achtenberg///
