Me and my husband gave this book to each other on our wedding day, which was April 12, 2000. We both just LOVE these poems. The poems are reminding us of how special the little thing in life are... and how simple it really is to make each other happy if you are willing to make an effort for it. I can really recommend this book to everybody who wants to buy a romantic and useful present for the person you share your life with. Useful, because the poems are like guidelines for a succesful marriage. This is a great Valentine's Day of Anniversary present!

For those of you not familiar with Susan Polis Schutz she is a poet who lives in colorado and who comes out with a collection of word-songs every few weeks. At once searingly beautiful and closely haunting, Schutz manages to embrace both the incredible Divinity of (wo)MAN-person and his/HER Heart of Darkness. I feel that this collection has inspired me to reconsider my womanhood and the joys of Loving and Relating to others in Harmony. My husband gave it to me for my fifth anniversary and every time I go panning in Shulz's streams I come up with many new nuggets of poetry gold. I mean, think about it for a minuite -- how often do you really get the chance to confront the true Oneness of yourself? NOt often I think. And with Schultiz's words, how can you not confront this very Oneness?
