A religious sister, teacher, poet and Reiki Master, Eileen Curteis has followed a varied and unconventional spiritual path, ever-moving as in the mythology of the gypsy. Eileen s new risk-taking poems venture into the complex aspects of life and relationships. Although her work is resurrectional, she addresses with poignant clarity the fears and shadows of being human. In her accessible lyrical style, rich in visual imagery and photography, Eileen the poet, invites you to jump on her caravan and travel with her on a journey inward.

Review:

Here is work of disarming simplicity, the enigma of the obvious, news from the interior; here is an unashamed lyricism, which sings of spiritual discovery and renewal. If you seek poetry that is lambent, not merely clever, you will find it in this book. --Mike Doyle, author of Intimate Absenses: New and Selected Poems
