Julie A. Levin
Using the metaphor of drought and the redemptive, healing quality of the natural world, Julie A. Levin takes us on a journey of self exploration that is both poignant and at times, very funny. Her poems are filled with artfully constructed ear-candy, while remaining accessible. Levin courageously shares the vulnerability of growing up in a difficult family, capturing the experience of gen-x moving into midlife. Robyn Posin, author of Go Only As Fast as Your Slowest Part Feels Safe to Go says, "I was listing my favorites from the book, and realized I was naming almost every one." If you are on a journey of healing and you find solace and connection in writing, you will love this book.
Julie A. Levin is a poet who delights in playing with words. In her day job she provides therapy to men and women learning to love themselves unconditionally. Many of her poems reveal her own journey on a similar path. Witty without pretension, humorous without ribaldry, delicious language on every page, Levin is soul nourishment, encouragement, and refreshment offered up through the gift of intelligent and compassionate poetry.
