Angol
This collection of poems was written during a most difficult time in my life. I was going
through a divorce, my world having been turned upside down. Each piece in the
collection was a catharsis of sorts helping me to deal with my pain while at the same time
encouraging me to explore who I was as a woman. Joy and pain are juxtaposed throughout
the body of work and reflect the extremes of emotion that I experienced.
I've chosen to divide the work into three sections. Each grouping of poems reflects a chapter
of my story. Each speaks to elements involved in the process of my continued journey of
self-discovery. The Sacred Feminine touches on the spiritual search that has been such a
driving force throughout my life. Earth Mother has become increasingly more important to
my growth as I connect to elements in the natural world and feel their essence. The Seeker is
the optimist that is forever searching for the positive and the beauty that I know exists within
myself and within those whom I love and cherish. The journey of self-discovery continues.
I am aware that I am still in the process of Becoming.
