Christine Bode is the author of two books of visceral, audacious poetry. Eden Refugee reflects the experiences of a young woman consumed by sex, drugs, rock’n’roll, unrequited love and a constant quest for spiritual enlightenment. In her latest volume, Eden Redefined, Christine bares her soul, teasing every sense by revealing her life as an existential mud wrestler. Eden Redefined intimately contemplates grief, human vampires, spiritual growth, love in its many guises, pandemic isolation, and the madness of the 21st century.

Christine is also a co-author of the anthology For the Grandchildren: A Collection of Stories, Life Lessons, and Wisdom from Around the World: Volume I published by Publish and Promote on Aug. 12, 2024.

Those readers may buy your next book, recommend it to friends, attend events, join your newsletter, and leave reviews. Some will simply enjoy quietly fo
