by Alix Klingenberg
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Ratings 4.4/5
Synopsis
For the wolven creatures and the feral den mothers.
For the heartbroken dreamers reclaiming their voices, their time, their wholeness.
For everyone who refuses to be tamed.
For you, my gently rebellious seekers, my fiercely sensitive kin,
I offer you a piece of my heart:
"Secrets & Stars" is the debut poetry collection of poet, photographer, and spiritual director, Alix Klingenberg. Playing with archetype and myth, this book explores a return to wholeness, a rejection of fractured existence, and a claiming of the entire self as beloved, sacred, and divine. With roots in earth-centered spirituality, the elements of nature, wilderness, and cycles permeate this volume that manages to illuminate, in a truly intimate way, the struggles of a poet coming into her own voice.
My Thoughts
In Secrets and Stars: To Love Me, You Must Also Love the Dark , author Alix Klingenberg writes poignantly about the process of playing with archetype and myth, this book explores a return to wholeness, a rejection of fractured existence, and a claiming of the entire self as beloved, sacred, and divine, the magic that is connecting to someone in a way that changes your life, only to lose them, and pieces of yourself along the way. I love this little book because it speaks so directly to the human conundrum that is the fact that the possibility of pain is also the only way we are able to experience spirituality, the elements of nature, wilderness.
Overall , This beautifully curated poetry book is flushed with uplifting poems of gratitude which invites gratefulness into daily life. It represents a wide range of poetic voices revealing gratitude as an essential emotion that is simple and complex, all around us but also elusive. Book rich with accessible and thematically related poems. I appreciate the brief emotions of poet as well. This is a book to be read and re-read and shared with others.
This book is beautifully and soulfully written. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates modern poetry.
Highly Recommended!
