Shadow Work

Rate this book

Tavius Dyer looks at the parts of himself he hasn't wanted to look at--those hiding in the shadows--and brings them into the open for re-integration. The poems move from darkness to recovery by creatively exploring a self sometimes reluctant to step into the light. Near-death experiences, incarceration, divorce, and the loss of an only child are motivations to finding the other side.

Shadow Work brings a message of hope and strength to anyone who might be struggling with similar issues, or those who know someone who is. When we learn from our mistakes and help others, we turn our darkness into light and love.
