This poetry collection reads like a cycle of seasons. It is a reflection of the swirling life experiences, self-discovery, love and heartache that we shed and grow through. Yet, all still remains a part of who and how we become, in some way. This collection is divided into three separate parts, each expressing joys and aches of the mind, heart, body and spirit. These poems resonate with all hearts, for all healing.
“There is a beautiful, quiet, effortlessness in the work. We are placed into a deep silence that exists in real time. All the noise has been removed, yet intensity remains. There is a sense that this soul has lived through so much but remains filled with light—a maturity of light—a choice of light—a mix of strength, airiness, humor, and an of-this-earth quality, without artifice.”
Paris Jessie is a California based poet/writer who seeks to create work that moves the soul. She uses life experiences and deep emotion to set forth her writing. If not doing so, she also finds creative expression through dance and videography. Her work touches on self-discovery, healing, grief/loss and love. She is greatly inspired by nature, human connection, and the spirit.
Her latest work, a debut poetry collection, "leaves and their tree," was Independently Published April 1st, 2021. It is available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
