O knihe

Eloquent, evocative and exquisite - a collection of eleven brief poems, fragments, notes from the heart. Linnet's short, poetic pieces are like intimate letters from a past life. Through them, we are invited to share a woman's abandonment of her true being in the pursuit of another's controlling desire. These lyrical reflections celebrate the female voice, through scraps of memories captured in finely crafted cadences, alight with inner rhythm. The journey from loss, betrayal, flight, pain and loneliness to the redemptive power of embracing and loving self is charted in disconnected moments of refracted memory. Each poem offers the reader space for reflection and connection to their own experiences. In this revised edition, new never-before published poems are added to beloved and requested pieces from the first edition, adding another layer to the narrative of redemption. If you have viewed Linnet's performances, where she uses the musical sounds of the autoharp to underscore the emotions of each poem, you will find this book a brilliant companion to the spoken word version. Listening to Linnet read her poetry adds another dimension and the soundscapes of the autoharp reveal and evoke the moods of each phrase, while allowing the listener time to appreciate and experience the impact of each line. Writing poems has been a healing force for Linnet but only in the latter part of her life has she felt free enough to share them with the world. Poetry is written to be heard, to be received through the ear so it travels directly to the heart. People often say to Linnet that her poetry has touched their souls; the highest accolade a poet can receive. Her words echo their own unspoken moments and this is how poetry links us, by expressing the inexpressible as only it can. This slim volume makes a beautiful gift for anyone who has loved, suffered, lost and rediscovered themselves. For lovers and lovers of poetry, it is a treasure.
