Synopsis

Author of "Go In and In," "One Soul," and "Prayers to the Infinite," Danna Faulds writes about her latest book of poetry: "More and more these days my old orientation is falling away. Rule books and signposts that were helpful in the past don't offer much guidance in this new landscape. The poetry and prose in "From Root to Bloom" is my attempt to describe the unfolding journey of my last two years, both light and shadow."

About this title

About the Author

Danna Faulds is a practitioner and teacher of Kripalu Yoga who writes all her poems longhand in lined notebooks, pausing during her morning yoga practice, or sitting for a few minutes after meditation. An editor, archivist, and writer, she describes her practice this way: "The potent combination of meditation, yoga, and writing has brought lasting transformation into my life. I can't point to any one practice and say it's responsible, but together, they have shifted just about everything about me. The transformative process isn't always blissful. In fact, it is often profoundly uncomfortable, but when it really comes down to it, what else is there? Yoga and meditation fuel the fire, and writing gives me a way to read the smoke signals that rise up from inner experience. I take delight in reporting on the journey."
