Secrets and Stars: to love me, you must also love the dark

For the wolven creatures and the feral den mothers.

For the heartbroken dreamers reclaiming their voices, their time, their wholeness.

For everyone who refuses to be tamed.

For you, my gently rebellious seekers, my fiercely sensitive kin,

I offer you a piece of my heart:

"Secrets & Stars" is the debut poetry collection of poet, photographer, and spiritual director, Alix Klingenberg. Playing with archetype and myth, this book explores a return to wholeness, a rejection of fractured existence, and a claiming of the entire self as beloved, sacred, and divine. With roots in earth-centered spirituality, the elements of nature, wilderness, and cycles permeate this volume that manages to illuminate, in a truly intimate way, the struggles of a poet coming into her own voice.
