Melodious poetry that really speaks to you. This is a little book but packed with great poems that are so clear and so deep. Here's a stanza from one poem that keeps rattling thhrough my head: "Enlighten your desires. Meditate on who you are. Quit imagining." It goes on but its sttanzas like that that can give you a kick in the pants to contemplate some things. Its just a terrific collection of poems. Glad I bought the book!

In Naked Song, translator Coleman Barks does a stellar job capturing the essence of Lala's poetry. It is both basic and profound. It is both tranparent and limitless in its keen depth. Naked Song is just that...exposed, a life and soul laid bare. An open invitation for every fellow soujourner to remove their own veils and be striped of those things that hide us from our selves.

Just read and relax! This remarkable woman's poems are moving, incredible, and spiritual. Her writing calms the spirit and takes you to a new, wonderful place.

Naked SongSadness and gladness; sadness there are only two reviews of this book as I write, the most recent 2001; GLADNESS that Lalla is being passed on to any and all who may be brightened by the Light of this beautiful woman whose great loving seeps and shines through these poems. Thanks to all who have made it possible to meet her......
