To Shake the Goddess [Large Print]

Part one,"The Revelry" is an amalgamation of poetry celebrating women and women's bodies. In part two, "To Shake the Goddess" features a collection of poems that honor the messy yet sacred rhythms of being, first and foremost a Spirit, and secondly a body existing within this life. Part three, "Fractals" is a journey through the human condition; a claiming of the shadowy side of this journey through life. In part four, "Love Letters to Gaia", I wax poetic about this Sacred Earth and the aliveness of NatureScapes. Finally, in part five, "A Waymaker's Manifesta" the poems speak to the necessity of humans creating a community, not only with their neighbors (at a global level) but also as integral members of the Natural world.

It is my hope that offering my poetry to the public might offer some much needed medicine. I know that I am not alone in my call to speak for a Spirituality that exists beyond the confines of all the orthodox tradition in life, but I hope that I might speak to a few who have yet to meet a voice that offers validation and sanctuary. I know that I am not alone in speaking for Nature as a complex web of Spirit and Life, but I hope that my words might ignite further regard for the Spirit of our beautiful Earth and preservation of our Wild and Natural spaces. I hope too, that my poems help people connect to these Natural spaces and create a Sacred relationship to place.

Peace and Love,
