Synopsis

Poetry. Tracey Schmidt's poems bridge the seeming paradox between the spiritual and the physical, celebrating the sacredness and beauty of life with fearless expression. In them you find traces of all the great mystic poets, but the voice is uniquely hers. Some of the poems are set within Schmidt's elegant photography.

About this title

About the Author:

Tracey Schmidt is a photographer and a poet. Her museum exhibit about native people opened in Atlanta for the Olympics, where it won Regional Designation Award in the Humanities. The Awakening of Turtle Island: Portraits of Native Americans has toured over 16 museums in the southeast, including the Cherokee Museum of the American Indian. She attended Georgia State University and the Portfolio Center, where she studied literature and photography. At the age of 19, she moved to Japan to live in a Buddhist monastery. Her spiritual practices there awakened a desire to return to American in search of a tradition that was as authentic and indigenous in America as Buddhism has been for her in Japan. In 2000 she was invited to teach creativity at Julia Cameron's (author of The Artist's Way) Taos Creativity Camp. She continues to teach creativity and poetry in the Asheville area.
