Sobre IBD

Shambhavi Sarasvati is a contemporary devotee, yogini and teacher. She follows in the footsteps of other women spiritual practitioners, such as Mirabai and Lalleshwari, whose devotional poems trace a step-by-step map of the journey to the heart of wisdom. This is a journey fueled by prayer, determination, wonder, lament, praise and unstoppable longing. Written during solo spiritual retreats and periods of the eruption of intense spiritual feeling, Shambhavi's poems report in raw, tender and playful language about our shared human efforts to wake up and discover more of who we are.Most Glorious Teacher, please break downthe rock of my defenses. If these words are insincere, do it anyway. - from No Retreat

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
