SUMMARY

In the tradition of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, "Kissing Darkness" chronicles a dialogue of sensual, spiritual, and profound poetry between Carolyn Kleefeld and David Dunn over a five-year period. Their poems express a longing for ecstatic union, with each other, with nature, and with the divine. Their dialogue creates a dance, an interplay of personal experience, and a surrender to the greater mystery. With a reverence for the wilderness they inhabit, Carolyn and David both rejoice in the glory, and yield to the death and re-birth cycles which inspire the evolution of souls.

REVIEWS


“Revealing the divine Eros, the untamable power of love, "Kissing Darkness" is a perfect gift for all romantics... of all ages.”

– Laura Huxley

Author, "You Are Not the Target" and "This Timeless Moment".

------------------------------------

“In tune with the rhythm of the Tao, Carolyn and David’s poetry reflects the greatest human re-discovery since the Fire and the Wheel – harnessing the power of love. Being a hopelessly proud romantic myself, I rejoice with and applaud this treasure of a book.”

– Chungliang Al Huang

Co-author with Alan Watts, "Tao: The Watercourse Way".

------------------------------------

“In these times when romantic love is often cramped by analysis and power struggle, it is refreshing to find two voices calling from the fathomless passion that renders the mind, while exalting the soul. The resulting tone of these poems is both ancient and intimate, drawing us down into the erotic chaos from which all life flows.”

– Ray Gwyn Smith
Artist, Poet

------------------------------------

“The poems in "Kissing Darkness" lead us to the heart of love. Mysteries unfold and open us to unexplored territories beyond the narrow channels of daily life. Through the window of words, we glimpse all that love can be.”
