And we are hoping. We are in the darkness. And we are striving for the light. In these precarious times we are living in, Miki's words embrace us with fierce love and welcome us home. Home to the Truth of our collective humanity and our individual sovereignty. These poems are a blazing torch guiding us to the place we all long to return to - our own hearts. A poet's job is not to write words that rhyme or sound pretty. A poet's job is to open up a passageway to healing, by speaking with power about the things that ail us, and with truth about how we can heal. This book does not just open up that healing passageway. It flings the doors wide open. Each poem opens the doors wider and wider, until there is no more room for the lies and deceptions that are at the root of the injustice, pain and fear we see in the world. Until the liberating light of truth can come flooding into our hearts unrestricted and do its healing work. In this book, challenging subjects like racism, sexism, prejudice, motherhood, womanhood, family wounding and love are unapologetically laid out on the table for us all to see. Miki names the real things that society tells us to keep hidden in the dark. With vulnerable-courage, she offers up her stories and experiences as soul medicine, so that we too may learn how to name the real things in our lives. So that we too, may heal.\" From the back cover by Layla Saad, Wild Mystic Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiki DeVivo is a poet and storyteller who writes to foster change, turn us back toward each other, and remind us who we really are.
