Soul Poems: Life As Fertile Ground

This collection of women's poetry represents slices of the author's life experiences, from the sacred, to the defiant, to the challenges we all live daily. These poems celebrate life in its myriad manifestations: love journeys, delicious coffee, beholding the natural wonders of God's handiwork, and affirming women as worthy with many gifts to share and improve our world. The poems are responses to the author's many experiences including academic conferences, a women's retreat in South Africa, and an unexpected year working in Bermuda. Hopefully, these poems will remind you never to forget our history, to know who you are, and to stand confidently in your own skin while passing on your wisdom to the younger sisters. Finally, these poems seek to place in perspective the longer trek of our collective earth journey so we can embrace the love, joy, laughter, and peace available to us who seek it.
