These are the pages that cry your tears, give you voice, and rock you to your core, only to fly above like a hawk on fire.
Hawk On Fire is a collection of eighty reflections, memories, and observations about the life of artist, author, and psychotherapist Wanda Springer. She uses poetry and prose to give the reader a glimpse at her life in a poignant, creative, raw and sometimes humorous way. Through the use of metaphor, she is able to draw you into some of the darkest times of her life. In the words of the author, “Poetry is my song, my partner, my teacher, my quiet savior, my way of understanding a world that often makes no sense.”
As a psychotherapist, the author had to find a way to contain her own wounds as well as the psychological wounds of others in a safe and sacred space. Writing helped with vicarious traumatization and compassion fatigue.
Within these pages, read either front to back or an excerpt at a time, you will find a place to laugh at our humanity, feel, shed a tear, grow, and embrace the imperfections of being human. This glimpse into the author’s life will inspire you to pick up the Poet’s Pen and metaphor your way to a deeper meaning about your own life.
