Produktbeschreibung
In A High-Spirited Woman the author reaches into the personal, highly complex, and life-defining moments that shine inwardly toward many of life's naked truths. Her poems reflect lifelong involvement with what are often confounding emotional responses to observing life's realities. For her those realities have always included not only the physical world but the parallel reality of the heart, mind, and soul with its own unique imprint. Within that mindset and model of looking at the world, Meredith soon recognized that the outer and inner worlds impact and alter each other, significantly affecting the individual throughout life. Because she values each person as an individual self-driven by dignity and dreams that matter, very early on meaningful involvement with those around her became critical to her understanding of herself and others and remains so. The author's poetry reveals the emotional responses that come from many kinds of loss, things wished for but not having as well as acceptance of life's wonderful gifts, some now gone from life, but just as important as they once were. Each person's life experience has many mirrors, both from within and without. A High-Spirited Woman respects those mirrors, showing us who we were, who we are, and if we're lucky, perhaps a glimpse of what's next.
