Oscuridad: Meanderings of a Tragic Optimist - Paperback

by Greta Lizbet (Author)

This collection of poems act as pithy, bright lances that pierce through the religious clichés we often use to explain away suffering, loneliness and loss. Organized like a jazz scat solo, each poem is a surprising note that adds to the piece, carrying both majors and minors; the crests and falls of beauty and struggle. As the young author deals with chronic pain and the resulting obscurity that comes from having to shrink her hopes, dreams, and ambitions into a small and seemingly insignificant life, she discovers some unexpected emotions.

Hope and joy.

If you are weary of pat answers to life's biggest spiritual questions, let these words awaken mysteries sleeping in your soul and shine the light on paradoxes hidden in your existence.
