For Love of a Dark Night

For Love of a Dark Night is a journey of redemption into the unknown. Through chaos, dissolution, and dismemberment, the journey continues to the other side, into wonder, joy, and integration with the cosmos. It is only through being completely destroyed that one can ever be completely healed or re-created. To become authentic and whole, one must encounter not only the good and the light, but also that which is perceived to be bad, dark, ugly, and painful. By celebrating the misery-as perverse as it might sound-we move through the tumultuous fires and out into a new, refreshing world of beauty. Ultimately, this small collection of poems hopes to offer a vision of redemption through uncompromising self-acceptance.
