Episode 2830: SEASONS OF THE SOUL: 38 LYRIC POEMS by Beverely Manley

SEASONS OF THE SOUL: 38 LYRIC POEMS by Beverley ManleyNamed Moonflower, "one who blooms in the darkness," by an Acoma Pueblo tribal elder in the 1960s, Manley's 38 poems burst forth with love, resiliency, and sheer joy. Playful, yet poignant, the author's skill with the written word pulls you in and holds you until the very end.Beverley Manley lives in the small desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. A childhood rooted in the Great Depression and the Jim Crow South could have defined and held her. But instead, she chose love, light, adventure and freedom. Her wanderlust led her to San Francisco during the 1960s, where her true spirit was finally embraced. Deciding on a career in accounting, her off-hours were filled with music, art, and museums. Buddhism continues to ground her spiritually, and she has a deep passion for the plight of Indigenous peoples. She has written a couple books on poetry, with the second one in collaboration with Mark Matousek (the internationally best-selling author of When You're Falling, Dive and The Boy He Left Behind) serving as her editor.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1667886169?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_WVZXNAHHMR98G868B0MS_1https://www.readersmagnet.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/1424bmrm.mp3
