ShamanSong is an eclectic tour through many key elements of life, travel, cancer, and healing wrapped in poetry. More than 130 new poems grace these pages along with almost 50 haiku, which examine myriad aspects of dealing with cancer, death, life, nature, and world travel. Dreamwork and shamanic travel take the reader ever deeper into the mysterious unknown with mystical poems gained from these otherworldly experiences. This book is segmented into six major areas of keen interest, including music, journeys, and journaling. Fine pen and ink illustrations companion a few particular poems providing a sense of ceremony and appreciation for the creative journey. (from the book jacket)
