Judyth Hill – författare

WRITING DOWN THE MOON

All I can say is the decades of Judyth Hill''s Full Moon writing, from her art ranch/home Rockmirth to her forays in San Miguel de Allende, Paris, Ireland, and Taos have turned her writing into a new voice, half moonlight and half silk. The paintings by Mary Meade are a perfect blend, indeed the whole book is reads like skin, luminescent, intelligent. The poems and art take turns winning your heart and the transparency of image is a page turner, what beauty happens next?

The moon follows Judyth, and she tracks it, a poet of astronomical talents.

Get ready to moongaze as you step outside with new eyes.

~Joan Logghe, Santa Fe Poet Laureate Emerita; mixed-medium visual artist; heart of her rural New Mexico community; master teacher & Muse of the Divine Ordinary.

AWARD-WINNING POET JUDYTH HILL

Judyth Hill''s Presente! Open up to the amazing Judyth Hill, kami bard, magi rabbi, interlocutor with the fourfold. She pulls the Moon out of her chapelle. Makes you dance. Makes you sing with words she uncovers in her outcrop stanzas of quartz crystals buried amid the fossilized granite of Western poetry. Thoughts like avatars leading you in & out of the great pagan Alexandrian library of the mind. Listen for a bit to one of the 21st Century''s many Changing Women-as She unstrings her truth lyre & lets you in on the penetrating, reciprocal & contradictory secrets of La Lune.

~Art Goodtimes, Poet, Shamanic Inspirer of Creativity & Deep Joy; Celebrated 4-Term Colorado Green County Commissioner; organizer & sustainer of Talking Gourd Poetry Community.

"Amy Wray Irish is a fresh voice echoing Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Sharon Olds."

-Michael J. Henry, Executive Director of Colorado''s Lighthouse Writers Workshop, author of No Stranger Than My Own and Active Gods

In Down to the Bone, poet Amy Wray Irish wields visceral language to strip away the false narratives women are forced to wear. Irish roots out our strength-the bones we can''t see but hold us together.

After shedding our dead weight, Down to the Bone inspires women to rise up again. These poems invoke the witchcraft of bone broth; dig into the healing power of the earth; reframe Adam and Eve; and rewrite fairy tales to release us from our "princess prison." In the tradition of Clarissa Pinkola Estés and Robert Bly, Irish is a storyteller who reveals every tale as metaphor for a journey within. These poems are an invitation to give birth to ourselves again.

"In Down to the Bone, Amy Wray Irish wields the written lightning as she explores, questions, and champions a new mythology all our own." -Veronica Patterson, author of five books of poetry, most recently Sudden White Fan.
