Awake in the Sacred Night: Stories and Poems

Are you ready to contemplate "your place among wild things?" Whether you prefer essays, poems or flash fiction, this varied collection will take you on soul-stirring journeys across oceans and backcountry landscapes, into fox dens and bear caves, thrift stores and laundry rooms, abandoned cottages and imagined castles. Discover how a young artist escapes the fictional basement of a cold case squad. Listen to the Jack-O-Lantern and mimosa tree speak. Delve into the "minds" of robots and jellyfish. Open your bedroom window to the music of night air. Meet the otherworldly with all senses engaged. Uncover the powerful truths revealed in unexpected moments of communion and connection. Poet Danita Dodson describes this unique collaboration of two kindred spirits as "luminously intertwining the mystical with the mundane." These writings are good medicine, antidotes for the sense of isolation that develops when algorithms displace the rhythms of nature and the human heart.
