A reading from my new book—Mother Poems and A Crack in Time
It's here and everywhere books are!
Hi Friends,
Ta da!! My new book—Mother Poems and A Crack in Time—has arrived.
I began writing Mother Poems during a turbulent time in my spiritual life. But on October 7, 2023, a larger turbulence erupted. My poetry and other writings took a sharp turn toward documenting my responses to the first live-streamed genocide in human history. A Crack in Time is an outpouring of tenderness and admiration, of horror and grief. It enumerates crimes and speaks innumerable pleas.
These two groups of poems contain much of what could be called prayer. While always devotional, they each attempt to bring disruption, doubt, cruelty, clarity, and chaos onto our paths of awakening. I gathered them together in one book as a modest demonstration that all aspects of life are connected, and so are we.
with infinite love,
Shambhavi
