Synopsis
Come Sit with Me by the River is a poetry collection about the joy of nature, a yearning for peace and harmony in this embattled world, the yearnings of the soul to touch the divine, the painful struggle to transcend one’s inner darkness and the utter joy of moments of clarity,all of which triggers a response of awareness in the reader, Unlike modern poems gyrating through mist and an endless journey leading to a never ending quest for an unknown destination, this collection steers clear through every lane. Hers is a questioning voice and she is honest to share with us her fears and disappointments. Some of the poems portray the poet's lighter, fun-loving side lending contrast to the more serious ones. The inclusion of her “shadow side” gives this volume a feeling of authenticity and depth and her travel experiences contribute an original perspective and are some of the most powerful in the book.This is an age-appropriate collection of poems, organically reconnecting one with things we might have taken for granted for quite some time. Images and words are clear and understandable, the subjects relatable.
