The Liminal Hymns
Blurb:
The Liminal Hymns sing the story of moments between, leaving
certainties to embrace doubt. Liminal spaces are explored through examinations
of mythology, philosophy, and religion. With sardonic shots of whiskey and wit,
this collection delves into the sensory and psychological kaleidoscope of the
human condition.
She is also a supremely talented musician, singer, and painter, among other things. This woman is made of artistic talent, seriously.
And when you put together all of those talents you get beauties like this.
And her book cover which she painted herself. Even if you just snag it for the artistic beauty it is still totally worth it.
So go grab it!

Excerpt from The
Liminal Hymns:
Over
Sympathy is not settling
Although settling can be
Fine, fine in the finest sense
Of the word, grand or okay,
Sure.
Stretching over canvas, the
Exchange over wine, one
Kiss can lead to another or
Raised eyebrows-what were
We thinking, we should just
Be friends, fine? Fine.
Sifting through pictures, one
Can settle on an age, consider
Were you happy then or was
Happiness a veil over a tearful
Bride, tearful for reasons she
Cannot define. Definitions can
Be tricky and according to the
Dictionary change over
Time.
Last Inhibition
Show me the
hall of the
Weary,
trudging toward
A place to
hang their hats
Show me a
velvet cross
Road, with
gravel cast
Grass back.
Deliver me
Your
observation, infuse
It with honey
and wine
Bring me to
the alter of
Discovery and
I promise
I will uncover
mine. A
Slender blade
of hope
Shivering on a
vein, give
Me your voice
rasped
Against the
edges of
Consciousness,
sing me
Past the
powerless lines
Memories can
move in
All
directions, can trip
Like a wire to
explode,
Give me your
tip toed
Curiosity with
delicate
Incision. I
will peel back
My cloak for
your close
Inspection, if
you ask
I will say yes
Mason
Jar
Is it so bad
If we do this
Things could
Rot but still
They could if
We don’t just
Look at the
Pantry, there
He sat saying
We can’t touch
The jars for
nothing
Not until the
trumpet
Sounds the end
of the
World the end
of our
Hearts dug out
of our
Chests that’s a weird
Time to save
canned food
For, but
anyways, alarm
Clocks, bunkers,
one burner
Stoves, they
all recall things
Can be planned
for even if
The thing is a
mythical fear
And the only
thing that comes
Of it is fifty
years of vinegar
Brine down at
the dump
So
We could do
this
Lean in to
water
Then wine
Find ourselves
in each other
Or at the
least
Have a good time
