Produktbeschreibung
With "a stunning collection of poetry" and "a treasure of a book that stirs the senses," poet, writer, and artist Christine Salkin Davis debuts this collection of beautiful and inspiring poems that explore grief, loss, social justice, life, and spirituality. In her debut poetry collection, Christine Salkin Davis explores everyday experience through reflections on life, love, death, and the holy. The poems in this collection - from beautifully written sonnets to deeply thoughtful free verse -- weave grief, loss, social justice, spirituality, nature, and love to speak to the general chaos and mayhem that characterize the messiness of life. Illustrated with Davis's own original watercolor paintings, this book will inspire you, transform you, and teach you how to face "disappointing plotlines." "yet, this bird sings in the midst of the rain. I want her eyes to see instead of mine." -From Disappointing Plotlines Writing through multiple deaths of loved ones, political mayhem, social unrest, and everyday life, Christine Salkin Davis hands us hope, beauty and inspiration through the holiness that emerges from decay. She gives you permission to doubt, to cry, to believe, and to love, but always to keep your eyes wide open to the miracles that restore beauty to the world. Notice the way the light sparkles on a leaf in the rain. Notice the way the moon shimmers with stardust. Notice the way silver blinds in sunlight. Notice the dandelion weeds - do not discard, for they are the favorite of the cardinal, and she loves yellow flowers, like daisies. -From Ritual to Restore Beauty to the World For women, men, your best friend and your neighbors, buy this book for yourself and for gifts. It may change your world.
