Limitless: New Poems and Other Writings

by Danna Faulds

Limitless is Danna Faulds' fifth book of poetry. A long-term practitioner of Kripalu Yoga, for the past seven years her writing has inspired and delighted a broad audience interested in the opportunities life provides for healing, growth, and transformation. Danna Some days, the first line of a poem interrupts me and insists on being written down - NOW! Other days, I write the words 'This is what I have to say to you' at the top of the page and see what comes. Like a faucet dispensing water from a hidden reservoir below the earth, this kind of writing allows the formless mystery to flow into my conscious life. What I tap into when I write from the quiet of my meditation cushion feels limitless. Each morning finds me at the edge of my current experience, writing about where I am stuck, where I am learning to let go, and what is calling me forward right now. Words on the page, both poetry and prose, are the bread crumbs left behind as I move beyond my comfort zone and into the unknown. Danna is the author of four previous books of Go In and In; One Soul; Prayers to the Infinite; and From Root to Bloom. She is currently finishing a memoir about her experiences with yoga and writing titled Into the Heart of Yoga.

i had a friend say she doesn’t rate nonfiction books (taylor - i love you) but i feel that poetry deserves to be evaluated and resonates with me differently based on the content and structure. limitless was inspiring and beautiful. it made me want to write more poetry and read more as well.

“this is what i have to say to you” prompting is something i have integrated into my own practice of writing until my mind slows. limitless was just what i needed in this season of my life.

one my favorites was “neither kind nor cruel”

Faulds, as usual, presents a solid collection of poems and free-flow style writings born from her experiences and observations in life, yoga, breathing, meditation, and creative expression. Beautiful and inspirational reading accessible to anyone, I read from Danna's books at the end of my yoga classes and without fail, someone always comments on them and/or asks for information about the book.

Poetry is so personal and not always deeply moving or recognized as personal. I found some of these poems to be outstanding, while others missed the connection for me. This review and rating will vary with everyone who reads the poems as we are all so individual.
