The Pathways of the Heart Vanessa Sinclair

Vanessa Sinclair's new collection of poems and collages is rooted in the dark earth of death, but to an equal degree it also celebrates the vibrant life-force that grows inside this eternal darkness, and the transformation, love and magic we all need to live. The constant interplay of motion and emotion filters fragments of questions we try so hard to avoid but always fail to. The Pathways to the Heart are many but they need to be trodden lightly, with love and deep appreciation. Once there, you can assemble the fragments of your life and see what they say - the poetry of an existence that is inevitable until it is not. Trapart Books, 2021. Paperback, 178 pages with 31 color collages.
