"Poet, storyteller, and healer Deena Metzger has lived for more than four decades in alliance with the earth and its creatures. She has learned how to listen to what they have to say, and to heed the signs and teachings they offer."
"'The creative unconscious is so much wiser than we are,' says Deena Metzger. Writing is how she accesses that wisdom, and anyone can do it. She describes the process of finding a 'guide' -- whether we choose to see it as an actual spirit person or an imaginary being -- to take us deep into unknown regions of the psyche, and return with gifts from the inner worlds to enrich our ordinary lives."
"Poet, playwright, author and psychotherapist, Metzger takes us on an extraordinary journey into the pain and the ecstasy of engaging life to the fullest. She describes her transformative experience with cancer and how the process enabled her to redesign her life, appreciating the simple and listening to the silences. Highlighting this dialogue is her poignant description of a pilgrimage to the Nazi death camps, where her process of self-healing is both powerful and universally relevant."
