c a r v e d, Kate Mapother's first collection of poetry, explores life and loss in its varied dimensions. At once gut-wrenching and hopeful, these poems take the listener by the hand and heart through themes of sexuality, God, love, grief, and family. The writing is rich in imagery and substance, leaving no doubt in the listener's mind about Mapother's ability to plumb the depths of hard emotion, then land you somewhere soft. These poems don't pretend to know. They simply witness.

De um lado, a sabedoria e a simplicidade da Monja Coen, apontando caminhos para quem busca a paz interior e uma vida mais plena.

Cada um dos 11 capítulos aborda um tema, introduzido pelos versos de Allan e analisado à luz do zen-budismo pela Monja Coen.

I have wondered at the many ways life turns me inside and out, every day of my life. I do my best to see life with depth and breath. A broader lens of what I see day to day. With practice and intent, I try to find the uncommon in everyday life. Simply living my daily experiences can in itself become a form of art. For the most part, this book has come together aroused by thoughts and feelings from my everyday life. Some are deeper, more insightful. Others are lighter and more playful. Some are haunting, with vivid memories that follow me through my life.

Far from being a poet of note or the wordsmith I wish to be, I’ve been flattered by others asking how I do it. Without the benefit of salient literary instruction, I’m urged to write, as providential inspiration may move while caring immensely about the outcome. I have learned that writing poems is cathartic and a wonderful laxative for the mind. Thus, to that question, I responded with the poem Take a Thought…Wholesome and Good to describe my way. That isn’t to say all poets follow the same creative pattern, and surely they don’t—I boast only of myself.

Life is many things and all the in-between. How big and wide will you live your life? Or will the fear of this day cause your experience to be narrowed, smaller? Starvation is not always about the stomach. It is all about the view.

The universe sends messages to us through its own unique language. It's up to us to listen and act on the secrets to living a fuller, more meaningful life while here on earth.
