Reader reviews:
What a blessed gift for all of us and to the mystery, messiness and power of the healing process! A deep bow to you and amara for this creation of beauty, raw honesty, aliveness and transcendence. ~ Nancy Maddams, Ottawa
This book is a feast for the senses that will really pull you in. Mine arrived last week. Diane Perazzo absolutely rivals Mary Oliver as my favorite poet, and amara’s illustrations are gorgeous. ~ River Dandelion, Hammond Indiana
The poems and art contained within are a breath of air and the scent of earth. They are the flame that keeps the night bright and they flow on the page like water. Truly beautiful and moving, six poems for healing is a gorgeous treat for the spirit. I loved every word and every brush of Ink. Thank you Diane and Amara for this beautiful work of art. It moved me so much. ~ Jamieson Wolfe, Ottawa
Your book of poems was so wonderful to receive in the mail. The small book carries heart felt attention to detail and words evoking Nature’s turnings. ~ Abrah Arneson, Wakefield Quebec
