Some Kiss We Want: Poems Selected and New

SOME KISS WE WANT:


Here within the pages of Some Kiss We Want are spiritual, mystical, and prophetic poems. Dorothy Walters’ poetic pilgrimage has taken her into the realms of the Christian Mystics, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, and the Abrahamic traditions. Drawing from all of these, she has created a realm of her own that is at once sacred, sensual, and meditative. These are poems that reviewers have hailed as “beautiful and profound; rich with wisdom and insight, impassioned and powerfully engaging.”


Rumi, Krishnamurti, and Hildegard of Bingen would have all been welcomed at Dorothy Walters' table. Some Kiss We Want is sure to please not only lovers of poetry, but mystics, pilgrims, seekers, and anyone wedded to beauty of the ecstatic tradition.


The poems in Some Kiss We Want distill a lifetime of allegiance to the Beloved Within in an alchemy of words reminiscent of Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir and others of that enduring tribe devoted to sacred poetry. These poems are transparent in construction, guiding the reader through the many stages of the mystic journey via the compelling voice of a contemporary woman. (Dorothy Walters Some Kiss We Want)
