Description: Soar Ready by Valerie Szarek Soar Ready: Medicine Poems for a Changing World is a collection of Valerie A Szareks poetry written between 2016-2020, between a presidential election and a pandemic. Valerie bears witness to the living history of a country in upheaval, a country that has lost its center like a drum with a split skin. She is a Lyrical Poet who filters her experiences of the world through her own body/mind/feathers. She is a Shaman and healer and these poems are a generous invitation to the reader know themselves deeper, fuller, and take flight into new possibilities, a new vision that is available to us all. This book will stay with you, will change your life for the better. Are you ready to Soar? FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review Butter-bombing bringer of truth, Valerie A. Szarek has a compassionate way of shredding illusion and finding value in the hard truths of reality, a way of finding gems in the gravel and beauty in the grit. Life has taught her to appreciate the gifts given, accept the mistakes made and understand that love is all that matters in the end. Soar is an exploration of the richness of life that opens before us like a blossom of light. Soar is as much medicine as it is poetry. Valerie turns herself inside out in her poetry to share with us her exquisite humanity. M. D. Friedman, Executive Editor of Liquid Light PressValerie A. Szareks Soar Ready begins with the poet donning bird feathers and the assurance that shadows are her friends. Indeed, Szarek both takes flight and also descends into the shadows of her country or her own past. She offers the gift of the pen to Congress, and in her epistolary poem"Dear America," to the angels with "the most battered wings" who "have worked the hardest/ to intervene in our destruction." She hugs the homeless woman in the cold, and she counts with gratitude the days of her sobriety. The reader comes away from the book feeling embraced by her words, trusting the writers kindness, and soaring through the compassion and spirit she creates with verse. -Kika Dorsey, author of Rust, Coming Up for Air, and Occupied: Vienna is a Broken Man and Daughter of Hunger.
