Description:The cardinal is a little birdA sharp pinprick of bright bloodagainst the winter snowWhat if his pigment disappeared?If he were albino white?A lonely trickle of redcould map his despairDispatches from the Dark Night of the Soul“I feel utterly trapped in a life that I freely chose myself.”After growing up in patriarchal religion and giving birth to five children, in her mid-30s Jenny Hawkins awoke to herself as an independent being for the first time. Shedding old patterns and beliefs, this change in worldview affected every area of her life, bringing exhilaration and terror in equal measure.“Marriage. Sexuality. Religion. Vocation. Family. Mothering process. Social circles great and small. Self-care. The books I read. All have been turned topsy-turvy.”To find her way through the labyrinth, Jenny began writing again for the first time since her teens. In these poems, both beautiful and unsettling, she gives voice to depression, doubt, self-loathing, self-awakening, anger, wonder, and love in all its shades.“Only time will tell whether all of these tangled threads will find their way to a smooth rest under the teeth of the comb. I can only trust the process. I will lean into it humbly, inviting you, dear reader, to join me.”Filled with startling images and unexpected turns of phrase, Untangling is a book that lovers of contemporary poetry will savor.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
