"My poems most often have their origin in the delight and mystery and wisdom I find within the natural world...and how these processes these movements of the elements, can be mirrors to the sort of transformation described by the world's great mystical traditions. It is through poetry that I explore the playful relationship between mind and body and spirit and world."

Nature and Awareness,
By Ivan M. Granger from the Poetry Chaikhana (Boulder, CO, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And Now the Story Lives Inside You (Paperback)
Much of the poetry in this book has a haiku-like quality, not in its form but in its style. Elizabeth Reninger's poetry can be read as both a meditation on a moment in nature, beautiful and complete in itself, but also where the elements of nature spontaneously suggest a more transcendent truth. Each poem is finely crafted while maintaining an ephemeral quality, something fully present yet fleeting. There is an inherent mysticism in these poems; they express a deep sense of stillness that resolves into pure awareness. Beautiful and highly recommended!

This review is from: And Now the Story Lives Inside You (Paperback)
The 61 poems in this remarkable collection represent fine brush work indeed. They bring us the realism of the natural world as only a careful observer might see it merged with the magic of each encounter with rock and wolf and leaf as only a seeker on the path of mysteries might tell the story.
