Tej Steiner’s poetry is powerfully unique.
It’s impossible to squeeze his body of poems into a specific category. Inspirational, spiritual, eclectic, political, philosophical? He uses his immense sensitivity to the human condition, and braids that with his compassion, experiential wisdom, abundant sense of humor, and pure artistry. He’s able to articulate the spiritual and temporal longings that are common to us all.
The variation of his themes, the clarity of his insights, and the beauty of his metaphors make it easy for this book to become one of those books that you don’t put away, but deliberately keep within reach. Each poem invites you into your own spaciousness and silence. They create portals and opportunities to shift how you perceive life. It’s poetry that deepens as you re-read it over time and as you share it aloud with those you love.
