The Teahouse of Experience

Bol

This poetry book contains a four-year collection of poetry and prose, memories, rituals, life, death, rebirth, and women's wisdom. Dedicated to every woman who managed to find a room of their own to practise creative art, experience their own writing journey, and find a voice and a path to the 'middle way' and freedom, which, once tasted and known, can never be unknown.Aspects of Tibetan Buddhism, Japanese haiku, Sanskrit and other words in foreign text are strung together somatically like threads of art, entwined and embodied as body, as ritual, as landscape, as sanctuary with pieces of Self, and excerpts of experimental poetry submitted for classes on this journey.The experience was sometimes intense, at times challenging, but mostly filled with awe, creativity, and joy at what transformed from pen to page. I journeyed 'all-in', saying yes to what this immersion experience presented, then further coaxed myself into depths that I can only call echoes and whispers received from the unseen ancestors, embedded within divine guidance from those that had walked the path before me.
