The Dream Of Enlightenment And The Wonder Of It All
"Nancy's poems are vital reading for anyone exploring or experiencing what we call a nondual perspective but will touch the heart of everyone who loves poetry. Nancy's poetry breaks free of the boundaries of thought and language, revealing our shared dream of life with eyes open wide in wonder, streaming tears of joy and unutterable beauty. This latest collection of poems breaks our hearts open to life, evoking subtle reflections and life-shattering perceptions with original and masterful literary artistry, alive with deftly crafted lines that will take your breath away as they work their way deep into your heart. “ The Dream Of Enlightenment And The Wonder Of It All “ is a dance of language, a language of the dream we walk through; a vision of the world beheld by eyes ablaze with fire. Nancy sings a song that echoes all that is reflected before us, all that is known and so much that is unknowable and cannot be spoken of in any other way. Poetry is a way of saying what words can otherwise not even hint at, and Nancy’s flowing verse is a river that runs through the essence of our human experience, opening the floodgates of unnamed emotions we can only call love; a sense of ineffable wonder and awe at life’s mysterious dance that is rarely glimpsed, and far less frequently rendered into words."Miranda Warren

If the prose is a window into imaginary world of the author, then the poetry would be a window in the imaginary world into the very structure, machinery, of that world.
And that's what the Nancy's poetry is - does. She almost brutally opens the window inside the imaginary world we consider as real and shows us the machinery behind - which doesn't exists. There is nothing behind, nothing behind the scenery of life we are supposedly living. Moreover the scenery itself is completely made up by that nonexisting machinery, it holds itself up by pulling own suspenders. It's an imaginary world experienced by an imaginary experiencer, a dream dreamt by and of itself. And yet despite, or perhaps because, of the unsubstantiality, fluidity, of that what there appears to be, of what is happening, that automatic stream of appearances is seen as even more vivid, more colorful, more joyful, more painful, more wonderful, more dreadful, more aweful, wondrously awesom and despite its intrinsic emptiness fulfilled, overwhelmed with love and beauty.
Nancy's style is raw and direct, though boundlessly rich and ever fresh in its expression. She invite and lead the reader in the magic room of mirrors and then lock the doors behind.
