| Publisher Description: As women, honoring our aging process is a life-giving and vital endeavor especially in a society that unconsciously renders us invisible and attempts to ignore our voices in the contemporary conversation. Marilyn Loy Every's poetry gives voice to those of us moving through the challenging markers of time. -The Reverend Dr. Lauren ArtressAuthor of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice These beautiful poems move and inspire us as they evoke the many transitions of aging, and offer promising visions of their transformation. Marilyn Loy Every brings poetic voice to aging in vivid images that brings insight, compassion, and hope to our own life stories. You will, no doubt, treasure Fire in the Well and will want to return to it again and again, as well as send a copy to each of the women you most cherish.-Kathleen Fischer, PhD, Feminist Theologian Author of numerous books including Autumn Gospel, and Winter Grace Marilyn Loy Every's poems invite women to explore their sacred journey of aging with grace. They encourage the expression of a woman's authentic wisdom voice. Her soul-scape is imprinted by the powerful beauty of nature, as she calls us to fierce bodily knowing, fiery courage, and naked heartedness. Reading her poems is a sensual feast, and provides true nourishment for the soul.-Alexandra Kovats, CSJP, PhD, Spiritual Director, and Professor of Spirituality at Seattle University Fire in the Well offers a much-needed map through the uncharted territory of a woman's wisdom years. Dr. Loy Every is a tender and fierce guide in a journey that is not for the faint of heart This is a call to passionate aliveness, authenticity and vision that can come only by meeting the fears that shape the walls of our confinement and moving through them. -Kim Rosen, MFA, Spiritual TeacherAuthor of Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words |
