Written during the profound global upheaval between 2019 and 2023, In Water Not Blood braids ancient traditions of nature-based spirituality, dreaming, song and prayer with the realities and anxieties of modern life. A celebration of the healing power of nature and poetry, these poems are as much soft and spiritual as they are rage-filled and disillusioned. This collection is a powerful account of the author’s journey to reclaim her soul and her connection to her ancestors and the Earth in a time of climate and social crises in which each of us is being called to find a sustainable and compassionate path of our own. In Water Not Blood is an urgent cry for collective healing and transformation.
