These poems are inner experiences through which readers find ways to understand planetary experience, personal and generational cause and effect, and hopefully, the courage and energy to change organically-from war, intolerance, fear, ennui.

Renowned neurobiologist, embryologist, award-winning poet, and healer, Stephanie Mines, PhD, embraces humanity's wholeness with her fierce command of personal, transpersonal, and transdisciplinary poetry. In this, her first collection of poems, Mines unflinchingly and soulfully moves us beyond transgenerational trauma, war, oppression, and planetary collapse, toward the truth of our birthright, our uncontrollable, passionate, and nonrational Original Brilliance.
