A collaboration with artist Betsie Miller-Kusz of poetry and paintings.
"Dreaming Earth’s Body is a remarkable collaboration that seems to spring from a single consciousness. Carol Alena Aronoff’s poems evoke the spirit of nature as well as the personal inner spirit. She reflects deeply on the nature of everyday experience and the transformative opportunities offered by listening to and acknowledging Gaia. The text is spare and direct, yet lyrical in its perfect descriptive beauty.Betsie Miller-Kusz’s stunning paintings are powerful visual evocations of Earth’s beneficence and beauty. They form a kind of narrative cycle that reveals itself simultaneously with the text. These powerful symbols of the female spirit inspire the same awe and appreciation for natural life and its healing potential that Aronoff’s poems provoke. This work of devotion, so clearly offered as a gift to the reader, is one that I will open with anticipation again and again." William Torphy, poet, author, art critic, curator
