ODE TO THE ABYSS OF DREAMS

About the Book

This exquisite map of a book offers countless geographies—from the powerful landscape of Taos to the perilous lands of Tibet. Like a cartographer, poet Carol-la Sonam Dorje traverses the sacred terrain of living, aging, care-giving, and loss. Ultimately, her writing evokes the lustrous horizon of understanding the world within, the world without.

From the depths of her unconscious, the author further expands and illuminates her own conscious, as well as that of sensitive readers. In this, her third book of poetry, she sharpens our maturing views of everyday life, love, death and beyond, sparked with appealing humor.
