And Now The Story Lives Inside You ~ poems by Elizabeth Reninger  From Elizabeth "My poems most often have their origin in the delight and mystery and wisdom I find within the natural world … and how these processes, these movements of the elements, can be mirrors to the sort of intra-psychic transformation described by the world's great mystical traditions (Yoga in its Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist and Sufi varieties). It is through poetry that I explore the playful relationships between mind and body and spirit and world… with the hope of - in some small way, through the view that my work offers - bringing to them a greater balance, clarity and freedom." Reviews This volume marks the emergence of a major new voice in contemporary poetry. To read Elizabeth Reninger is like discovering some hidden ancient grove where holy Mysteries are celebrated. Here we, the initiates, drink from crystalline streams and witness aspen and pine transform into symbols of the divine presence. These radiant poems will surely be loved and cherished for generations to come. ~ Dorothy Walters, author, Marrow of Flame: Poems of the Spiritual Journey; A Cloth Of Fine Gold: Poems of the Inner Journey; & Unmasking the Rose: A Record of a Kundalini Initiation more reviews |
